should i spray front diamond?

[Jordi17]

Thinking of spraying my front diamond in graphite grey later on. Dont know whether it will look good or total shite. Getting black wheels soon so thought it would go well with the rest of the car. Heres a standard pic of my front end, should i spray or leave?

Opinions please...

 

[jesus]

[Jordi17]

wat sanding paper do i use? will any do?

P.S. cant get the bloody badge off, feels like its going to snap :dapprove:

 

[jesus]

i used 1200 i think, doesn't need sanding that much

i used a screwdriver wrapped in a bit of cloth and pryed it off

 

[jesus]

can't do the wheels black as my mouse is being s**t

Yeah it's worth sanding. Get a good few coats of laquer on too!

Don't do it. I think it only looks good on black cars

 

[Jordi17]

started to do it now, primered first coat about 5 mins ago, looks good to me when its off so should look nice in grey...

dont think black diamond will look right on a silver car. chrome or anthracite with anthracite wheels imo

well the grey is kinda the same as anthracite anyway,thought it would go well with black team dynamics, looks good to me though...

 

[Jordi17]

given it 2 coats of grey spray paint, will this be enough?

... Now for the laquer...

 

[jesus]

2 or 3 should be enough, make sure you leave it to dry/harden properly before giving it some laquer

Done 2 at the mo with a good finish, dont want to go over it again and ruin it. Going to give it a layer of laquer later on tonight so it has all night to dry, stick it on tomorrow once ive given it a wash
