Best way to....

....Spray bullets silver.

Planning on doing this on the weekend, but I want some direction as for the best way to do it.

What shall I do about the lettering? Go over it Black with a small paint brush after I have done them silver?

Do I need primer? Or just wash them then spray the whole thing silver.

How do I get them off without snapping the clips?

Thanks
Nick

i assume u have '16v' ones in having a 1.2.

sand them down and clean them afterwards with some fairly liquid if you dont have any panel wipes. you will need plastic primer.

to get them off without cracking you need to get your fingers under the bottom edge of the badge - push your fingers upwards towards the middle and wallah they will pop off.

Thanks.
I assume I have to sand the badge and the lettering, spray whole thing silver, let it dry, coat again if needed, then spray the whole thing with clear?

1. Sand them down, All over the whole thing your spraying inc lettering.
2. Was with fairy up liquid.
3. Dry them 100%
4. Couple of coats of Primer as directed
5. Let dry
6. Couple of coats of colour as directed
7. Let dry
8 Couple of coats of Laquer as direct
9. Let dry.

Between the primer coats you can also WETFLAT it to make it even smoother.

You can also take the side bumpstrips off and that should make it easier to take your side bullets off.

you need to prep the primer before painting or the paint wont have anything to key to and will flake off
