Light even coats and a fair amount of time to dry !! Dont try and do it all at once !! Maybe use a primer depending on the paint your using !!

Oh hell no!

You need to use the Folia Tec interior spray, the paint needs to have a plasticiser in it so its flexable or it will peel off.

You need to prime, paint and laqure

iv just used normal car spray, might have to re-do it if it starts peeling - kno where i can get the interior spray lunner?

 

[Lunner]

At the very least you shoudl have used plastic primer.

The interior spray can be had form demon tweeks (wiht club discount!), its bout £15 a can - discount for the primer, paint and laqure

should i sand the surface with some wet and dry before i prime and paint?

 

[Phil 99]

yep, and after u prime and paint, but not after laquer.

 

[pro1]

Why would i need to sand it after i have primed and painted??

 

[Lunner]

To give the paint/laqure something to stick to, will not stick well to smooth surfaces.

When I did mine I used Halfords Plastic Primer and Honda Fireblade Silver paint. Looked great but were really fragile. I sprayed the rest of my interior using Foliatec primer, paint and sealer and the result is much much better. Although even that has all cracked off on the heater controls.
