Hey all,
I've got to prep my front bumper and wheel arch for spraying and i was wondering if i could get a bit of advice as this is the first time i have done it.
i.e what sandpaper, how long, how much and just a few tips and hints.
Regards :)

If your painting over the old paint just use something around a 1200 w&d to remove any imperfections. Then get some good light coats of paint on. Try not hold the can/gun too close to avoid runs & keep away from any areas where dust/leaves etc will blow onto your work. Most of the hard work is in the lacquering. Bite the bullet and you will be fine if you take time. :smokin:Quote:

Im after maybe a colour code booklet or something.

Plus he will have suppliers who will get it cheaper than you could.
And if all goes wrong the buck stops with him.
If its a standard colour, it'll be stamped on the VIN plate... the bodyshop will be able to sort out the correct colour from the code.
Cheers boys, appreciated :)
