Auto Paint&Plastic Trim
CST said:
yeah, that's beatuiful
so I'm an idiot when it comes to painting.. could I just go to a paint store and tell them I need industreal white with a clearcoat I can put on it and they can hook me up or what?
And should I paint the rest of the car or just the black parts?
A good paint store that sells auto paint should help you out there w/ all the stuff you should need. And theres lotsa special chemicals to use, for instance if you were going HOK,House of Kolor, wich I like, you would use KC-10 and/or KC-20 postsanding cleaner before and after sanding especially. To rid the oily finger prints, dirt, grease, wax an adhesives.
Same concept for the plastic and other trim pieces>a good product for that is called
PRE Painting Prep>10041z. It PRE removes same as KC-10&20 but also grease, polish, silicone, buffing compound, even road tar. Used highly in PRE powder coating.
Using this on the plastic will ensure the best adhesion possible. But lotsa products for that. And a good Paint store should help you out there.
And then spray paint it if you want.
Those who use HOK, use
ADHERETO(wierd name)AP-01 & AP-02, it promotes adhesion and works w/ PLASTIC, METALs, CHROME, or a variety of other surfaces. Ask the sales paint rep if this can work w/ your paint :idea: but stick to something compatible w/what you decide. Like just trim,or painting the whole car
