How do I paint my 92-95 Si lip? I know the basics of painting but Ive never actually painted anything so I was just wondering what kind of prep work would I have to do and what supplies will I need? This is what my lip looks like. Thanks.

 

Damn, no replies son :'(

 

Buy a bondo and fix the scrapes and any chips. Sand it till it's smooth and even.

Then Primer, Paint, Clearcoat

 

Finally one reply after 100 views! What kind of paint should I use?

 

That's up to you. You can get good results from a cheap paint if you prep it nicely.

 

Im looking for an OEM look, Ill try it when I get around to it and Ill post pictures! Thanks man.

 

i tell you what i would do, since it is rather beat, i would sand it down with 180 then 220 and then bed liner that thing. it will give you a textured look and will cover a lot of those gouges.

 

Buy a paint gun and real automotive paint if you're looking for oem look and then wet sand it. You get what you pay for.

 

What do you mean by bed liner?

 

something like this. http://www.levineautoparts.com/duptrucbedli.html
i did mine and then sprayed my wheel wells with the rest of the can.

 

The OEM look for these lips have a textured finish and is supposed to be black. Its not the same is say the 99-00 si lips

 

Can't you sand it to make it smooth? Or is that too hard?

 

Hrmm. Now that you think about it I could probably get away with just sanding it lol! Ill try sanding it down smooth first and then Ill prime it and shoot it with spray cans and clear. I cant afford a real gun lol

 

Months later I finally got this done. I didnt bother sanding since I needed the sandpaper but I cleaned it up, sprayed primer and then sprayed flat black and it looks pretty good. I didnt use clear though. I got all my supplies from autozone, about 4-5 bucks a can.
