Clio 172
Have been looking around on different forums, and have decided i'm going to spray the roof, spoiler and mirror caps on my clio gloss black to tie in with my alloys that i have already sprayed satin black.
This pic in particular caught my eye..
Before i drop it into a panel beater to do the work, i thought why not try it myself first, so i'm looking for a bit of advice when carrying out the different steps..
To prep the roof for spraying, would i be best to wet sand using 1200 grade wet and dry paper until the shine is taken off? How do i get the small strips above each rear window off?
I plan on leaving about 24 hours between priming and painting and the same again between painting and laquering, but should i wet sand the surface lightly after priming and again after painting?
Would it be ok to do this in my driveway once the car is shielded from dust? And would it be doable using rattle cans and a clip on spray gun attachment?
Bear in mind, the bodywork on my car is already in a rough enough state, and i don't mind giving this a shot, i am purely wondering if it is doable before i go near a bodyshop. I have sprayed mirror caps and alloy wheels a number of times before.
