chris aka fonz Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I think im right in saying that its called plastersizing if thats how you spell it , that gives the paint flex and stops the paint cracking ! Not that thats any help to your question and ive probably got that completly wrong. Where in derby are you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 toyota did mine and used standard paint as far as i know. 3 years without any cracks so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi, hope this is of use to you guys, I had mine painted last year. The most important part of the painting is using the correct Primer for plastic parts, as this makes the top coat of paint adhere properly, and stops the paint cracking at a later stage. Had front, side and rear done at bodyshop after removing them from the car myself. All parts came off without to much trouble apart from a couple of rusted-on screws. (use WD-40 a-day or 2 before may help). Parts are either screws,bolts or push clips were not visable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughany Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 DBR - My mate charged a couple of hundred pounds to do the lot, he done a few bits in the engine bay aswell for me, here is a picture http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=23343&stc=1&d=1130885863 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I did mine, check sig for pics. Used standard halfords plastic primer, pain and laquer. Just sanded the plastic to give it a key. Only prob i have is when i catch something with my front lip, then it comes off a bit but it would with any aftermarket bumper as well, not a fault of the paint i dont think.
