Painting
What tips can people give me i.e. which grade of sand paper to finish off the filler, between coats, paint type etc. I want to give it a go myself...........

Is the spoiler in primer or bare?
are u planning on using HVLP guns or aerosol?
What clearcoat are you using? 1pack (straight out the can) or 2pack(add a hardener)
Il be happy to guide you through it
good luck

My engines nuts and bolts require more torque than your car produces
hi mate, im a qualified paint tech. You would be better of letting a bodyshop take car of this. But im always up for letting people give it a go.

What is a HVLP? I know nothing!! The boot lid will also need painting, I think this is going to be a bigger job than I thought:Sulk:

Yeh i've sprayed quite a few bits in the past and do still do a bit, but Sam knows so much more than me about spraying, so you'll be better off with his advice for this sort of job as i'm more of a powder coater:wink:
HVLP(High Volume Low Pressure)
Off Topic:
Was good to see over the weekend mate and glad you enjoyed the spin in my motor :thumbup1:
Lexus IS200 Sport Navigator (Now being stripped again) :blink:
Now Don't Forget The REP!!!

yeah i dont mind doing it for you chap, dont let me put you off giving it a go because id be happy to come give you step by steps. But if your going to aerosol it you will no where near have enough air pressure. (Around 2.0bar) but this can be solved by loads of flat polishing!! let me know chap

05-08-2016, 02:22 AM #9We will have to meet up at some point, I can give you the spoiler - the down side is the bolt holes are in the wrong place and the beet lid will need to be filled and painted once the lip spoiler is removed............ This is a big job!!
