[fUbAr]

quite easy.

most improtant thing is: TAKE YOUR TIME!

basically:

Sand (800 grit)
Plastic Primer x 2
Wet sand (1500 grit)
colour spray (dry for 24 hours)
Wet sand (1500 grit)
colour spray (dry for 24 hours)
Warm up laquer (pan of warm water)
Laquer (dry for 24 hours)
Laquer (dry for 24 hours)
Leave for 48 hours in the dry
Polish and fit

If you rush it, it WILL look s**t. The secret is in the preperation.

cheers mate, how do the strips come off?? and were did u get your paint from??

To get the strips off, open the door, then slide the door strip towards the front of the car and then slide the rear strip towards the rear of the car until they unclip, you may need to get your fingers behind the strips to edge them off. Halfords do a good plastic primer and laquer, you can get the spray from Renault or Halfords. Im going to do mine again soon as I have a big scratch on one of them.

oh, and ordering the spray from Renault gets you the titanium 647 paint and laquer in a set. grey plastic primer from Halfords.

part number for Titanium 647 aerosol/laquer: 77 11 172 132

from memory its about £13 for the set.
