skinner2k3 3 Posted September 13, 2007 How much primer and paint would I need to do 1 x 205 front wing from brand new I presume bare metal? Is there any way round the problem of fresh black paint not matching 19 year old faded paint which doesnt cost the earth? Last one....do I need laquer? Its for my track car and that isnt exactly pretty so I am not looking for a show room finish. cheers Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted September 13, 2007 new wings dont come as bare metal, they're covered in this black coating (someting to do with electrolyte i think) 1 can of primer and 2 cans of paint should do it and yes you will need a laquer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinner2k3 3 Posted September 14, 2007 Do you know if the black has to be rubbed down/off? 1 primer, 2 paint and 1 laquer. Sorted! Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted September 14, 2007 buy a set of wet n dry (from halfords) make sure you rub the black down with it to give the paint a key to stick to mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugman211 0 Posted September 14, 2007 dont wet dry it. if ur gonna do it like that do this: 1 x red scotch pad, rub the whole panel so its full of small scratches. 1 x can of primer. 2 even medium coats making sure the 2nd coat covers everything. let that dry and rub it down again. clean the panel to prevent as much dirt as u can 1 x can of colour for black, (will cover really well). same thing as primer, 2 nice even coats. let them dry in between coats. should get away with 1 can of lacquer (clear) same thing as colour, 2 nice even coats should do it. only way around the colour difference is to polish the next panel so it looks a bit shinyier. If all else fails get a GB sticker! lol Will probably look really dull, but if u leave it till next day, and machine polish it will get a bit shinyier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
