jacobaaron Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 Yes I painted the plastics myself. I painted them just like I paint plastic bumpers on cars with Dupont products. I have had no problems with peeling. I just wanted something different then solid colors. Quote
SoCalinIt Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Looks really good. Has that old school feel.... Good job! Quote
714banshee380 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 so how do you paint plastic bumpers on cars? Quote
jacobaaron Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 I started by washing the plastic with a good degreaser and pressure. Then I washed by hand with HOT soapy water. After that I wet sanded the plastics by hand with 400 grit then finished with 600 grit sandpaper. After sanding I washed the plastic again with HOT soapy water. Then I clean everything with a Dupont wax and grease remover. You have clean the plastics, this is the most important step. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. After making sure everything is clean, I used a couple of products from Dupont that is made for painting plastics. The first I used was a precleaner that is wiped on and then wiped off. The next product was Plas-stik that is sprayed on with the paint gun. Then after all that I just used basecoat paint with a clearcoat. I think I had around 5 hours in the complete job. Quote
