Glanza Al Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ive just done mine JAG. I used Plasti-kote gear, just as good as Hammerite. I did 3 coats of "HOT PAINT" which is matt black. then used 3 coats of blue over the top, sanded off the lines then brushed "TOYOTA" in gold enamel.Alex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 When painting plastic make sure you use the correct plastic primer otherwise it will flake over time and look awful.It all depends on the correct lacquer really, all the paint can be the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 i personally dont rate plastic primer. its shit and doenst stick well, ive always used normal grey/whiteprimer on plastics,put a dusting coat on it first and then a thin coat when its dry an then youre ready for the colour/basecoat.if you check my thread ive used normal spray paint on my engine bay bits (cam cover, airbox, dizzy cap etc) and its come out pretty good, if you prepare the surface well and dont take any shortcuts it'll come out good. best to use a real hard wearing laquer too, i use upol clear coat, its quick drying if you put it on lightly, but settles nice and smooth if you give it a thick coat. ask fishy or rob bee-r on here, they were pretty impressed with the finish on the bits i did. i used the same method on my old n/a and the painted cam cover, airbox and inlet mani are still going well, and that was done 3-4 years ago.
