Just finished up on the body work today. Painted rear bumper from clearcoat peeling, door trims, bottom of front bumper, and I painted the center trim were the reverse lights are. This is how I did it....mask off were reverse lights are. I used a ruller to make the cut's perfectly straight. Ruff up the ugly trim with 320 or 400 grit.... I used 400. Be carful not to damage the tape! Use a tack rag to clean up the ugly trim. Spray on the primer. I use a 2K urethane. Spray 2-3 coats of the primer. Allow to dry 1-3 hours. Then, Wet sand with 800 grit. clean it up with soap and water. Spray the basecoat allowing 25-30 minutes between coats. When the basecoat is still a little wet carefully peel the tape. Spray 2-3 coats of clear. wetsand again with 1500-2000 then buff. You might not even have to wetsand. It's all about how good you are at spraying, how fine tuned your gun is, etc.. Enjoy!
