After obtaining a few £££ quotations on the best side of a years car insurance for painting a couple of plastic exterior bits (scoop and side skirts, possibly bumper) ive decided to have a bash myself, if Edd China can do it then its good enough for me, which hopefully will be a rewarding experience

Im not expecting an amazing professional finish from a can in my Garage, and would leave any larger panels for the guys in the trade, but for the minor items in question i think its worth having a bash! Even if i have to make a couple of attempts.

Now i know that the art of a good finish is in the preparation, so If any pro's in the know out there can give me some "step by step" pre-paint tips in prep and grades of papers and types of paint / primers / thinners i need to use then that would be great. Also with the plastic trim items i intend to paint would i need a flexible based paint product?

Many Thanks

You need a compressor and gun, total waste of time trying to do it in squirty cans, it never sticks or looks good! Where are you based?
