garetheves Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Just a few quick questions realy about painting the inside of headlights. 1. Do you need to use a primer? Ive already sanded down the old paint to give the new paint a "key" but will it need the primer? 2. Am i right in saying that Matt Black is the usual colour for the facelift look? 3. Is there another colour more of an anthracite colour? 4. Do you need a coat of Lacquer (sp?) to finish it off with. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Primer yes, it stabilises the plastic chemically. I used laquer, it adds to the shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Cool cheers for that. Is the paint more at risk of cracking as well if you dont use lacquer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I used satin paint, it gives a sheen to the paint job without being glossy. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Facelifts are a charcoal colour and as branners says use a satin or matt finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
