Sorry to quote myself, but I was just wondering. Got the same paint in blue today, btw. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

Nope,didn't use any primer.

All I did was wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry it off, and then sprayed the ground coat, colour and clear.

I hope if you bought the Metalcast paint that you also bought the "Ground Coat", or else it isn't going to turn out right.

 

^^ got the dampness from a pile of snow on his porch lmao

 

yeah, melting snow FTW. lol

 

u getting snow up there? its ****ing snowing like hell down here lol

 

we got a quick squall come through just after lunch. Didn't last long and didn't stick but I was like WTF!

 

I have the groundcoat as well! Do I need the CP199 Adhesion spray? If so, what order do they go on?

IE: Primer, CP199, Metalcast? Or CP199 first?

 

I did mine in a silver a few months before the truck was totaled. Here are the crap cell pics i have - i think these are the only ones i took of it.





I painted them at work so i had access to a ton of specialized adhesion promotors and stuff. It wasn't gonna come off.

 

You could use the adhesion stuff, but I didn't.

If you do use it, spray the adhesion promotor on the plastic, then spray the ground coat, then the colour and then clearcoat.

 

Anyone painted the interior stuff white? If I did white I would go for a real nice "ice" white or whatever the name is, sorta like what is on the newer Porsche cars, that white is addicting. Didn't think I'd ever say that for a white car.

 

Sorry, I'm a noob at painting. Once I have the ground coat and a few coats of the Metalcast I should spray clearcoat too?

 

Pearl white is hot.

 

Spray the adhesion promoter onto the clean bare plastic. Then do primer if you wish. Do a nice, even base of the grey ground coat. Make sure it's even, otherwise your colour will come out blotchy because the colour is transparent paint. When it's painted and dried, spray a couple coats of clear on it. Be really light with the clear coat, it will run easily.

 

Thanks a million, bro! Great that a fellow Canadian stepped up to help as well. Who you pulling for in the playoffs (NHL)?

 

Roll up the Rim FTW!!!
