Anyone Heard Of Gt Spraying In Denmead

Featured Replies

I want to get the dull grey plastics bits on my bumper sprayed and the grille anyone have any contact details for them as I can't find them on the Internet about them they are based in denmead

I meant GT spraying

to be honest spraying those plastics is something you could do yourself

Hi James,

As Jeebo says a lot of members spray these parts themselves but I know how badly mine would turn out :-)

I don't know of GT Spraying in Denmead but there is a GT Paintworks down in Ampress Works in Brockenhurst. I haven't used them myself but know a bloke who did a few years back. I've lost touch with him ( emigrated to Oz) so can't ask him about whether he'd recommend them.

Might be worth a check out

Do either of you know how to remove the top grille on the mk6 fiesta

Are you referring to around the Ford badge? If so it just clips in I believe

  • Author

Done it it literally just unclips easily

Yeah I have sprayed it with some stuff that's like plastidip so if I don't like it can just pull it off

That's a good start though to get the best finish I would suggest if you do pull the plastidip off, sand it down and then spray it a gloss finish

Cars black thought I thought gloss black grille and metallic black car would look stupid

Here it is

Ah I didn't see the car details as I'm using the app and it doesn't show those lol but yeah any colour you would be best sanding before spraying. Though the finished article looks good! I suppose the proof

Is in the pudding of the install and how it all holds and looks in time.

Put it on the car and can hardly tell the difference I'm just going to do it properly and go with gloss black

In which case sand and prime first the do the goods black. For a real nice finish don't forget to spray lacquer

  • Author

What sand paper should I use as its only plastic

Start off with a couple hundred grit, and work your way up to the likes of 1500. The rougher the finish after the first few goes the better, without of course rubbing holes into it!

  • Author

Is the higher the number the finer the paper

Yeah fine grit so less damage.

  • Author

Ok cool

  • Author

Spraying the lacquer at the moment and it absolutely stinks

Lacquer does lol how does it seem to be going?

Done the grill looks good. Now need to do the bits on the bumper like the fog light surround and radiator grille.
