Respraying bodykit query

[VTR_Bass87]

I dunno if theirs a thread relating on how to do this? but yeah a lot of laquer peel on my bumper and scratches on side skirts etc so gonna respray the lot!

Advice on materials? and should i stick to original gold or have a two tone effect (in black) to match my black alloys? so gold upper half and black lower half..

Cheers :)

DO NOT USE AEROSOLS! for gold mate it always looks a c**T. You need to rub down everything with 400 paper till you feather back all the peeling clear coat. Then its up to you if you prime or not but personally i would. Then rub that down with 600 wet and dry using guide coat. Then its just a matter of spraying the gold base coat and a clear coat over the top.

a 50 pack of 1200 wet and dry, a pack of 800 wet and dry, best ive used is 3m.

depending on what sort of paint you want to use (2k, water based etc) adjust accordingly.. 1 ltr of paint, a litre of thinners, 500ml hardener, some barr coat (optional), 1 litre of primer, a litre of laquer (depending on whether u get top coat paint which doesnt require laquer), a tube of g3 to colour sand it and thats all i can think of.

i wouldnt go two tone personally. colour code the bumpstrips on the kit instead :) looks much smoother.
