I am wanting to paint a few small parts on my T4, I have done a few searches but there is so much conflicting info out there.
So what is the best technique to prep and spray with rattle cans?
I have so far wet and dried the plastic part I want to paint, then applied 3 coats of plastic primer, which I smoothed down with 1200 grade wet and dry, now I have applied 6 thin coats of base coat,
Here is the conflitcting part, some people state.
Spay lacquer after 2 hrs of applying top coat, so the chemicals are still in the base coat for a better finish when the top coat is applied, others say leave top coat to harden for a week then wet and dry with 600 then 1200 then 2000 grade paper, finally applying the top coat.
