gary4vicky Site Supporter Registered: 09/05/10 Posts: 4603 Loc: Northampton	Can you drive around without the rear valance on the car? I need to take mine off to paint it then cable tie it on as it keeps popping off and is getting on my nerves _________________________ Poppy: Tinted third brake light DMB Badges Mountune pas cooler Painted Calippers hose covers MR200 Mountune billet arm Front Strut Brace 35mm eibachs Mountune big brake kit

Do you have to scratch up the surface of the plastic before you paint it? _________________________ Poppy: Tinted third brake light DMB Badges Mountune pas cooler Painted Calippers hose covers MR200 Mountune billet arm Front Strut Brace 35mm eibachs Mountune big brake kit

steviehouse Best Non ST Car of the Year 2013/2014 Registered: 10/05/10 Posts: 11614 Loc: Jubail, Saudi Arabia	I used some fine sandpaper, couple of layers of primer and couple of layers of gloss black, sanding with fine sandpaper between each layer _________________________ 2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

PedST Site Supporter Registered: 02/10/12 Posts: 163	I was driving my car without all my exterior plastics that used to be grey and also without the interior bits i did for about 2 weeks while i painted them, saves on petrol less weight
