NIKH25 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I used 3 cans of 500ml white primer. That's doing front and inside, I still had tyres on though so, you'll probably need more. Although as you already have the etch primer on you can probably get away with one light coat, I'd use grey if you're going matt black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Got my temporary bootlid to a point where I can use it.I fudged the paint up.. well for the best part it looked really good. You will see in the pics where I didn't put enough lacquer in number plate area. But can probably polish that out.But there was a couple of runs (what happens when painting in the dark with led light) so sanded the runs out and vinyl wrapped it for now.Better luck next time.The original boot is gonna be painted same colour as wheels when I've decided. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Shame the paint didn't turn out how you wanted it. You'll get it next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 That still looks pretty cool though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yeah hope so. Gonna do wheels and boot at same time.Like say just a spare this one. Obviously just want it looking presentable so I don't feel like I have to rush the other. Gonna use it while I sort out the blistering on the original.

KiNK43 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yeah looks tidy I guess. Not a huge fan of the carbon wrap thing now. Think I over did it before on the old mb. But still it'll do for now. Kinda makes me want a real carbon TAIL! !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
