Default Question about painting my oem lip.

Hey,
Do i need to use a primer on my lip after i wet sand it before i put on the flat black? The black doesnt seem to be sticking very well at all.

Mike

It would be best if you wet-sanded the lip first. The best paint that I've used is the Duplicolor Trim Paint in Flat Black. It matches the factory color perfectly and has not chipped in over a year.

Yup, sand it along with water, and then paint with DupliColor's OEM Trim Paint [Flat Black]

Make sure that you use a high grit sand paper (1100-1500) and just dip it in water youll be golden
