Wetsand with 400 grit
prep the surface with "Bulldog" promoter
spray poly-primer surfacer
wetsand poly-primer surfacer with 600 grit until surface is smooth and no orange-peel appears
prep the surface with prep-surface cleaner to make sure there is no dirt , grease
spray the base coat, 1st light coat, 20 minute flash time, then spray a 2nd coat
15 minute flash time
then shoot the clear spray 2 coats with 20 minute flash times apart, let the lip dry for 24 hours
wetsand between 1000-1500 grit depending on the outcome of the paint-job
2000 grit wetsand with soap and water
buff with 3m finecut rubbing compound
then hand-polish with 3m hand glaze and your done.
seems like alot of work? try it it will be fun and good luck!
or just take it to a shop less time and money. but it's alway's good to learn and experince a new trade!
