I sanded mine really really good with a random orbital....maybe 200 grit...I forgot.

rustoleum, clear, wetsand , whatever, I forgot the process. none the less its been at least a month and a half (and one 350 mile highway trip) and no peeling.

(excuse rock chips on hood)



im gonna have the entire vehicle resprayed one day...

 

it looks really really hot

 

looks pretty good

 

looks nicer and sleeek...this is what i plan on doing but in DG but its gonna be with the emblem this time

 

caskyline. did mine....

so if I want to change my chrome grill to a kinda glossy black, what exactly do I need to do?

you think it would look hot to have a black grill with chrome emblem on my silver sedan?

 

Some of these look real good.

So what is the process you are using? Seems to be different from person to person.

Feel free to correct this:
1. Use aircraft paint remover
2. Sand with 400 grit
3. Use paint promoter
4. Sand again?
5. 2+ coats of paint
6. Clear coat

 

anyone have definet instructions? I was hoping to do this today.

 

well i sanded down the chrome, primer, sand, paint, paint, sand, paint, clearcoat

 

guys this is easiest way to make a black sedan look better... good job to everyone, i just need some instructions and what products you bought,thanks

 

sand sand sand sand paint paint (normal rustoleum) wetsand clear clear clear (some brake caliper clear stuff)

 

So are we doing Neal376's way or Driguez's way? For Best Results!

 

I guess some primer and better paint would be a good addition to my instructions

 

i guess both ways it would be fine, the only dif is the primer, btw i used duplicolor and neal used rustoleum, if i had to do it again i would find a shelden williams and have them match the color to my car, but if you are doing black on any other color than OB it doesnt matter
