gb20 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Got my air dam a few weeks ago and painted it yesterday. Got it all pollished up today. For being my first time painting anything, and using rattle can dupli-color paint, I'm plenty happy. I don't drink so I made do with a rockstar.

z-ya Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Looks nice, could you post the steps you took to complete the project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb20 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Pretty simple really. Sanded the part until all the extra resin was gone, plus a few very small pits. Used 120 grit. Sanded up to 400 4 light coats of black primer 5-6 coats dark blue dupli-color 1 mist coat of their silver metal speck 3 cans worth of clear, applied in light coats Painted with 10min in between coats. Only took a few hours to do the paint. Wet sanded with 1000, then 2000. polished with meguires fine cut cleaner. I think I will do my hood like this next weekend.
