Spraying Interior trim Black, help!!

[Dod]

In keeping with the Black interior theme, I'm spraying the plastic trim panels (A-pillars ect) black. I've cleaned them with panel wipe and they're still coming out with loads of fish eyes. What am I doing wrong?

[epo]

first of all i wipe them down with thinners (not a lot tho)
then i rub them down with wet and dry then wipe with thinners
and then primer them
never had a problem with it that way

cool means can get on with spraying my dash bits!

Wont I loose the textured finish if I do that? If its smooth the sun light'll catch it and the glare'll be blinding. How'd yours turn out EPO?

[epo]

i didnt rub mine down alot so its still got the same finish as the origional looks good enough for me

Loverly, I'll let you know how i got on.

Take urself down to ur local b&q and get ur black paint in a spray can made by plasticote, it's about 5 or 6 quid

So far i've done quite a bit using it, u maight be getting fish eyes because your spraying the coats too heavy, give it a light coat then wait until it's at least tacky before spraying again.

Hope that helps mate.
