Spraying

[BigStan]

Right i plan to go about spraying door handles, boot handle, skirts and such other faded grey exterior parts.
Whats the best stuff to use for it ? Will i need to be using primer and stuff ?
Probably will be respraying in a dark grey possibly black ? What would be the best top coat to use aswell, a flexible paint or will normal paint do ?

Cheers Guys :thumb:

Use plastic primer, and normal paint.

Make sure before you ever start to paint that any silicone(like bumper gel/back to black) is off the plastic, as paint wont take to that at all.

yeah just make sure its clean and dry. use plastic primer and normal paint. do it in a warm room or shed or sumtin for best results

Will i need to be using lacquer, i dont know if i want the shiny finish ?

[paddy138]

up to yourself if you want a shiny finish or not

[BigStan]

It will be ok without the lacquer on though right ?

[paddy138]

yeah, it worked ok for me

You dont need laquer on a solid gloss base colour.
But it will help protect it from stone chips etc.

If you end up going for black mate I'd use hammerite.

Thats what I used on the door handles and boot handles for project Aspirin.

You don't even need to use plastic primer with hammerite but I did anyway.
