What primer to use...

[FlameR172]

for spraying my engine cover flame red, would white primer be the right one ?

Plastic primer x2 coats, sand inbetween. Flame red or 713 (i think) requires a ground coat x 2 coats, then atleast 2 coats of base coat to get the right colour. Will cost far more doing it yourself, than having it done professionally and look no where near as good or the right colour.

Really ?? thought that would be the cheaper option?

I cant quote in threads, but we are slightly more expensive but we've done a few, prep is everything with them due to the oil residue and constant engine heat and cold. (We also spray on decals etc for extra). The price will no doubt go up when he see's it....theres alot of prep in doing right.....if hes got to buy the paint aswell......for £40 he'll be working for f*k all lol.

It's going to cost you £24 in spray paint from Halfords, so for the bit extra i'd go for it.
