runt Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 If you are spraying on that plastic, I would actually sand the original surface before spraying. I wouldn't go hog wild or anything, but hit it with even some 400 grit just to rough it up. Then maybe clean it up with 1000 then spray. You shouldn't have any trouble even finish wetsanding with that duplicolor. Myself, I think it looks kinda odd just sitting there like that, but I know once it's installed it'll look REALLY good.

GutlessSupreme Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I think it looks great! the blue paint did come out the best but I think the color scheme looks good, and the silver paint does too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Silver paint? I thought it was gold. so did I! I think it's just the lighting. I think it's a low gloss silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 umm...i didnt see him say it was silver...i'm pretty sure its black and gold, as his car is gold!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 now I'm confused. I thought it was gold because I thought the car was gold, but someone mentioned silver so I thought I was wrong. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z34-5speed Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I like it a lot. If you didn't tell me it didn't match i wouldn't have thought that. It looks like it matches well in the pics. I never can get duplicolor to come out really glossy, i've sanded the item i was painting, primered it, sanded the primer, painted, shitloads of clear, and wetsanded that and it still isn't very glossy.
