spraying stuff and bump strips.

[ryza]

sooo. what i would like to know is what is the best way to prepare and do spraying the interior? and maybe other things? :panic:

also will halfords spray be allright?

1 more thing :A:
do the bumpstrips come off on all the bumpers or not?
and will they just flake off if you spray em?
cheers :y:

Just sand down before hand to key it and remove any dirt, primer, paint, then lacquer :) Halfords paint is fine too. If you want to reduce as much dust getting inbetween layers give it a mild sand down of 1200 grit between each layer of primer and paint :n:

With the bumpstrips it should be fine, mine have been sprayed. Just need to make sure you use the same method as above and take your time inbetween layers and taking off masking tape etc to let it fully dry :)

yeh i just done ym air vents and center console dotoday leave coats of primer and paint to dry for a good bit of time and get the lacquer on it for a quality finish

the bump strips are just part of the kit they cant be removed, and if they are painted professionally they wont flake, it'll be as good as all the other paint on your car

cheers for your help everyone :)

Had anyone sprayed their a, b, c pillars? Is there a guide anywhere?

What's the best colour black to match the standard dash?

Pillars you woul dprobably need to use filler primer because of the texture to make sure the base layer will stick, also probably satin black.

no you don't, just sand/prep them properly, i work in a bodyshop and we have to prep everything properly, i'd get sacked if i just used filler primer

[jon748]

you have to use plastic primer or it will flake off

less of the language child

filler primer is a bodgers way of getting rid of texture, sand them down properly to remove the texture, just using filler primer will still leave some texture
