sold the CF lip kit and going for urethane for dependability.

any of you guys used http://www.paintscratch.com/ to buy the paint to do the job yourselves? im a pretty good spray painter and was thinking of just ordering their spray paint kit with primer for non-metal parts since i bought myself the poly urethane lip.

hope this site can help some of you guys out too that might need touch ups

got pics?

 

I've painted a couple lips and misc. body parts. Some out of fiberglass, polyurethene and ABS plastic.

I must say that fiberglass gives the best show-finish when it's all done. It just doesn't stand up to the real driving world.

I'm no pro, but with lots of sanding, keeping the parts clean and patience, they come out OK. For me anyways.

I painted the front lip black and the skirts green. (with paint purchased on-line. Not paintscratch, but I don't recall the company's name.)

 

Arent u supposed to add a flexing agent to the paint when painting something that is not metal?

here is what paintscratch.com is giving me to paint it using their paint kit for non-metal:

looks like it's got everything? what you think?

 

I am a ppg certifeid painter and if you use ppg, dupont, martin seour-sherwin williams, transtar, ect. there is no need for a flex agent because the paint already has a what you would call, flex agent, but they still sell a flex agent but you dont need it. If you go to a local paint store, they will give you the lowdown on what you need.

 

for DIY. Make sure wherever you do the spraying, it is isolated from dirt, wind, etc. Get some painter's tarp, the thin plastic film and put up a makeshift booth to paint your stuff...less overspray and better results. Prep work makes up most of a paintjob.
