D13 HPD 95 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 I've been doing the same thing to my interior, just finishing the CD player surround tonight.

kpg Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Well I used the video guide from one of the forum members for removing the bits, sorry I can't remember the name. Tips: Just take your time. Make sure to rough up the plastics not missing any spot as the paint won't stick. The best time for spraying, for me anyway, was to do a couple coats of primer and the colour in the evening, doing a heavier coat last then leave til the next morning before continuing. Tonight I've done 2/3 primer coats and 2/3 coats of gloss black, I'm fairly impatient mind lol So tomorrow morning I'll do another 2 black coats then get stuck into the clear coat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Morning all i am going to paint my interior parts soon but i wanted to know has anyone painted their front grill mudflaps wing mirror surrounds and rear deffusior themselves? and how did you do it?? or can anyone recommend a good sprayer ?? i carnt find any in my area NR28 thanks I did my front grill once myself, before I got a ZS one. It was ok but I'd leave that to the professionals. I'd do everything else myself apart from front grill, fogs and rear diffuser. Only because that's what people will see the most, if you get what I mean, inside plastics doesn't matter as much because chances are most people will see them from afar. It's up to you really, have a go and see. Make sure to scrub down the grill to get that rough texture off before spraying, I forgot to do then when I was doing my grill and no matter how many coats, it still came through. . Oh I finished the plastics this morning, all back in the car again: Go for it man, it's worth it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
