Grant Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Top job man!!!! I'm getting more confident to paint stuff myself after seeing all you lot doing it. So you sand the colour then just lacquer over it??Very very lightly sand with 1500 or above. It's literally just to take any rough spots off. Clean, then a couple of coats of lacquer!

Lol. Wet n dry paper you mean?? Yeah grade 1500 or above. (The higher the grade, the finer) and then clean with either some brake cleaner or pre paint wipes. Then i always blow over them with a heat gun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
