I`ve just finished replacing the panels on the racecar from a theft and joyride, and have a couple questions..
The pop up headlight covers and reas upper spoiler are the only parts that aren`t painted.
I really dont have the money to have the entire car repainted at this point, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or instructions on how I can do this myself?
I want it to look damn good, and this is the procedure i`m considering...
Sanding with 1500 to smooth panels, allow a surface for primer to stick to
painting with a sandable primer, 2-3 coats, sanding with 1500 between each.
sanding last coat with 2000, applying 5-6 coats of black gloss, sanding with 2000 between each.
Coating with 2-3 coats of clear, sanding with 2000 between each
and thats it..
whadda ya think?
anyone have any web resources I could look at to get some tips and ideas??
