teken ,

my bad i know you told me, but i forgot to print it out can you tell us again

 

please

 

u can use spray paint... but u MUST use a primer before the paint goes on... if u dont use a primer... the paint will not stick right and it will look like ****!!! trust me... i'v done it... if u have more questions... im me... i dont go to this forum much...

 

I've just started painting my interior. Don't just use any spray paint to do it. Go to a model store and get some model paint. You can get it in spray cans. The reason being, model paint is made for plastic. As the plastic expands and contracts the paint will go with it instead of cracking or peeling. Clean the surface, sand lightly, spray plastic primer, spray with paint, spray with clearcoat. Use several coats of paint at least.

Oh, and a word of advice, I have just started mine and I (stupidly) chose white. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY COATS IT TAKES TO GET WHITE TO LOOK PROPER!????? Well I'll tell ya, about 7!! It's so damn thin, and you have to use extremely light coats or it goes watery.... damn white...

 

Ok I am thinking of painting my interior so i am gonna jump into this one. I have black interior in 98 Integra. I wanted to do a black and white scheme. Do i need to sand down stuf first. Has anyone done this and regreted it?
