Hey guys,

Have been thinking about doing some colour coding to my fez, such as rear reflectors and maybe washer jets.

What sorta paint do I need and how much of it will I need, do I need any lacquer? OR can you buy pre sprayed from ebay?

Cheers

Colour coding = one of the best things that needs to be done! Get on it mate!

Prime the plastics with 3 coats then paint with 3 ...unless someone posts a better way

Cheers Kaxe, really like the look of the colour coded rear reflectors. any specific primer you recommend? Any idea of good cheap places to get the paint from?

Plastic primer from halfords is what i used worked fine for me! Are you painting them the same colour as the car?

My mates a professional sprayer and can sort anything like that out for you. For small things is actually cheaper for him to do it than for you to buy the aerosols and aerosols will never gt the same finish!
