to color code the plastics,or just enhance the color thats on ,and gloss instead of mat finish.The Car is black ,i just think ,black plastics get lost in the body and dont break it up.Doing my head in.

I had mine colour coded by a local body shop. I was advised against painting the rear grill due to shape and contour. Apparently it will crack in time??

gji honda · 14th August 2012, 19:37

rear grill will not crack if you use the right product,side sills painted plus wing mouldings ,back end done ,plus parking sensors.

2 professional body shops said it would.

I believe them as they had special plastic primer for my arch and side skirts and by being honest they were doing themselves' out of work.

They both said it would peel off in time, hopefully this isn't in your ownership

I am no expert, just going by the advice the 2 pros have told me.

Its something to do with the honeycombe shape thou which play's a crucial part.

Why would they say it if it wasnt true and 2 different places said it.

gji honda · 17th August 2012, 21:13

if you want to believe them its up to you .iv only been spraying 37 years , put your to pros together ,they might catch up.anyway end of story.

newmie1984 · 17th August 2012, 21:32

He's only been spraying cars 24 years and does stuff like this in spare time so what does he know, lol

Hand build one off:

We will have to agree to disagree as this is a friendly forum

I didnt know you was a sprayer and I was only offering you friendly advice as thats what we do on here.

I hope you havent been offended, and good luck with your project. Look forward to pics of the progress
