Finishing and painting Rear Spoiler
 

Hi,
im buying a rear spoiler from a friend for 50 bucks. Its brand new and un painted. Just wondering the best way to sand back and paint?

Its a spoiler from nissan pulsar, but it fits my car on the dot, looks rather neat. Going to Do it gloss black bacause the liberty has abit of black trim around the roof area.

Cheers
Joshua

paint
 

Rub it back with about 400 grit wet & dry, prime it with about 4 - 5 coats & let that dry for a day, rub that back with 4-600 wet & dry then paint it with at least 6 coats of black & a few of clear ( if you want )then leave it for about a week to dry properly then rub it back with 1500 wet & dry then use a good buffing compound then polish it, but that's if you are using acrylic which is the cheapest option.

cool thanks for that, when you ay 4-600 hundred is there an inbetween like five hundred i should use or just either i can get my hands on.

also when using the wet and dry paper am i supposed to use water?

cheers dude

im always needing help

Yeah use 360, 400, 600, what you don't want to do is pollish the surface too much in the early stages, need to give the paint something to grip onto, close to 400 is your best bet & yes use it with water.

thanks al0ot , i just got a job in malaga, so know i can start finally modding my automobile,
