It's easy to remove the plastics, just take your time doing the spraying lol..

Any tips and guides to follow?? Yours look wicked!!! Im going vision blue and white ;)

Keeps updated when its done??



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.

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. :unsure: .

Oh I finished the plastics this morning, all back in the car again:
