Quick question, why are you spraying the interior and what parts of the interior are you spraying?

 

[adam172]

ow sorry lol all the rear iv removed stripped it out

 

[adam172]

i will be spraying all this sorry

Not too sure on this but im sure some one could correct me.
All the silver square panels of tar would need to be stripped out and prep it like you would with any normal panel, test on a small area like the inner of the spare wheel well and see how it goes.

Or pay a body shop to spray it all in one go as with rattle cans it will be hard to do.

Most definatly as its alot harder with rattle cans anyhow.

If you can practice on some thing else, if you know some one who has a metal panel of some sort like a car door or an old bonnet from the scrappers.

I got a bonnet from an old escort at the scrappy used some very harsh sand paper like 40 grit, went over the whole bonnet and then started to see how hard it would be to smooth out going 400, 600, 800, 1200 and upto 1600 with wet and dry try to get as smooth as possible then followed a guide on here with primer doing layers at a time and sanding down.

I fucked up so many times it was silly but end of the day it was not my car, just some old bonnet.

ok point taken i will probably ruin my car if i go and try it first time soo.....

if i get an old bonnet and want it matt black how do i start? first take the laquare off to get it to how my boot it atm yea?? say a 400 then grey primer x2 coats sand with 1200 then 2/3 coats of matt black ?

were can i find your guide i cant find it
