The plastic covers have a slightly rough finish anyway, which is handy for holding the paint. But, if like me you like mirror-shiny polished paint, just use several thin coats of primer, then gently sand down with 200+ sandpaper. Rinse and repeat until the base layer is satisfactorily smooth for your colour layer. Use several thin coats of paint for a richer colour finish.

I was talking to a sprayer about this today, and they said I might need to get heat resistant/protected spray.

 

I wanted to use Vauxhall Arden Blue like the body colour, do you think it is ok to use body paint on the cover?

 

 

(No I dont mean that kind of body paint!)

 

I have mate - but i havent added it back onto the car yeat - so I cant tell you - but even if it flakes, Youll have a nice winter project every year haha
