Plastic Prep And Paint.

[Nee-san]

Hey guys, did a search and couldn't really find what i was looking for.

I am looking at painting the cover for the injector loom in my 32 GT-R black like factory as it was painted silver by the previous owner and I need to know what sort of prep i should do to it so the finish is nice, and also what kind of paint i should get for using on such plastics.

Cheers,

Mitch.

hey mate this is from my past successful experiences so u can try this if you like. lol. i went down to supercheap and grabbed a can of their plastic primer in a spraycan. then i grabbed some paint from their hoyts duplicolor range its like paint to match factory car colours. fairly good quality paint for a spray can. just apply the primer on a lightly sanded surface say 800grit sand paper. allow that to dry then just slap your colour on and you will have a very nice finish. its all in the preperation to acheive a good finish. lol. hope this helps u out.
