ro55ifumi Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Taggy Sand it down prime it and then use VHT paint John Quote
Socks Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 NEVER. get a rocker cover powder coated as these companies often use sand blasting equipment! Sand gets stuck under the baffle inside the rocker cover and has been known to destroy engines! Its happened to a few unfortunate members! Quote
Taggy Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 yeah I had heard about that, think i will sand it down and respray it! Quote
JamesP Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Use nitromors to get the old paint off and clean it up. Make sure you really clean it after as you won't want any nitromors left as it will obviously ruin the new paint. Then spray it using this range of VHT paints off eBay http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/350975304890?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1 Starting with a primer and then colour and a lacquer. I have done a lot of covers like this and they have all come out very well. And that range of VHT paint is very good and give a very good finish considering it's rattle can. Quote
JordanEP91 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah but you wouldn't get it's sand blasted it would be chemically stripped! Quote
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 As jordan said my company dips them rather than blasting, i get them done for 20 quid, take it your a coater jordan Quote
JordanEP91 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah getting them dipped is a hell of a lot better no mate I'm not a very good friend of mine is he does all my stuff for nothing because we do a lot for him Quote
Murphy177 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 You don't have to sand it right down to metal you just need to remove the shine with scotch brite then the paint will key to it.... wet on wet primer, choice of base coat then lacquer Quote
ryan lang Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 i just use a wire wheel on a drill as its not as harsh as a grinder. then tuduh, loads of primer and loads of color also if you can use enamel paint ryan Quote
