The Raven Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 how do you go about sticking the top of spats to the rear quater?

Guest CoolsBlue Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 sand the surface smooth, wipe with a damp cloth then wipe over it with a dust free cloth, prime it, then another layer of primer, then ther base coat, do misty coats and build up over 3 stages, then a mist of clear coat all over it, then a heavier coat, then a wet coat on it. if done properly its going to look sweet! also i wouldnt rivet through the stock holes as you might want to remove them at some point, youd have to drill the rivet out making the hole bigger (then will have to use a big rivet when re fitting a trim or spat) use the stock screws, theyll be fine and use a WATER proof double sided tape (not the foamy kind) or a sealent like tiger seal, but youll have to use tape to hold it in place. which i wouldnt do on a newly sprayed surface(paint wont be 100% dry and could rip of in a ruuber ish form)...good luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
