painting chequer
« on: August 20, 2011, 19:52:50 »
Hi all I am wanting to paint my rear quarter and sill protector plates black from bare aluminum. What if any special prep do I need or is it just grey primer and satin black?

etching primer else before long the primer / top coat will react and flake off.

A clean surface. i.e. at leasted rubbed down with wet and dry. Better sand blasted on the checker side (saves time!). Then etch primer, primer, topcoat/colour and laquer (if requred depending on paint type/colour).
