boostman Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Just bought some number plate pods and was thinking I'd give them a refurb! Has anyone done their's? Was thinking painting them gloss black or possibly vinyl wrap them if possible? Any thoughts or advice?

kitch79 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 When I bought mine, they were silver, I thought it would be an easy quick job to sand back etc. it was a pain! But, after getting them smoooooth, I under coated and sprayed gloss black, much better than the stock Matt plastic look imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sand blaster at work I could use to 'prepare them ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I don't believe so. However I was standing away old paint, so if it was I'd probably not see it. But I sure it's just plain plastic. I spent much longer than needed sanding with ultra fine s.paper, so that my final black gloss needed less, although I still went ott on that. Never used a sand blaster before, but be careful it doesn't blast the plastic rough [emoji15] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostman Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 OK I'll have a look later, the sand blaster is quite delicate if you hold it far enough away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
