Default Re: tips on painting.

bulldog is your friend.



seriously...its called Bulldog adhesion promotor. wash, sand, wash again, sand again, wash, then wipe down with rubbing alcohol a few times, spray light coats of bulldog, allow it to tack up and be a good surface, and then do light coats of paint, building up to one good layer.


you can use regular auto paint on bumpers and such, it all depends on prep work. and flex agent....

if ya are gonna do the bumpers, i highly reccomend using a spray gun and have it mixed with flex agent, cause if you use touch up paint from the auto store on a bumper, it will crack with the slightest pressure on the bumper.

side skirts are a stiffer plastic, and dont need flex mixed with the paint, but bumpers do.
