to the person who made the thread hows it been holding up and can u put ur directions on how u did it it hink im gonna do it this week

holding up just like the factory paint...just make sure you sand everything good for a good bond and make sure to get inside the letters on the back bumper too....i forgot to get inside them and im refinishing them soon...

basiacally.....dry sand with 320 grit get it all to a white not glossy surface...clean it off....paint it black 2-3 coats....let it cure for awhile then clear it 3 coats is what i did....the front is taking rocks and bugs like the factory paint...no peeling or problems....

Will this look good on a black car?

 

[Mad Monkey]

[BwolfGT]

i did mine with krylon fusion all i did was clean with nail polish remover and spray i did not sand or clear and it looks great.

I'd do clear if I were you... It's not just for looks it also prevents the paint from chiping as easy.

krylon fusion has the clear built in its okay i used it on my goalie mask and have been taking pucks off the head lol no chips a couple scratches but what do you expect with 70-80 mph slap shots at the head

 

[nicksilvergt99]

Oh I don't know that lol
