painting chevron

[camTcar]

i know a lot of people have done it, gonna do mine green ive never painted anything, what is the process, can i t-cut the chevrons like i did with my rear badges

[chinkostu]

what i did was take them off the grille, sand them back then prime and spray them

mine are white, not a massive difference but looked gash in mango! haha

Look at the guide on how to paint and colour code your grille

i know you want to do it to your chevons but its the same thing really

Sand em down From say medium grade to fine grade sandpaper

then paint in thin coats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! leaving time to dry

and laquer them,

not much to it really just got to have the balls to do it.

mango lol, so i need to sand them? is this a must

[Luke-saxo]

yes it is really otherwise the paint might not stick and just flake off
and then you would have to sand them down before primer and paint again
save you the hassle if you was to sand them down first

[SaxoStevo]

Brought up a old thread, No you cannot t-cut them. Sand them down alot. primer, Paint lacquer

[Furio-92]

Sand them down with wet and dry, then paint, what i did.

To remove them, can you just use a knife or something

[jaytay]

beentold to remove with screwdriver gently without snapping clips found removing torque screws that hold grill and remove grill.found it easie and saves any accidentall slippages with driver...whoops lol

after painting, i would leave them for 24hrs to let paint harden, then lacquer, more resistant to stone chips then
