Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone.......I am painting a fender(passenger) ..it is aftermaket. I know the basic steps scuff sand, prime, wet sand, primer sealer, base coat and then clear coat. It is the little details I am worried about. I will be doing this fender using duplicolor base and clear coats. Can anyone give me any advice to really do a good job?? I bought some bulldog adhesion promoter anyone ever use this and do you recommend to use this under primer??

If you are using Duplicolor spray cans there's not a lot to worry about.

 

I did my spoiler- sanded it w/ 600grit, and then just painted (It's not metal so I didn't worry about primer), and clear afterwards. 2-3 coats of each.

 

Heres right after I did it (still lots of orange peel)
