did you sand them or scuff them up at all?

 

[hudack]

yea used some 15 hunder grit sand paper im painting them black and red useing krylon fusion herad good stuff il let all you kno what i think about it

1500 is kind of fine. i would think like a 800 or 1000 even. but idk theyre your plastics. good luck

 

[hudack]

seems like 1500 works pretty good they got pretty sfuffed up but once again is to cold out to paint this weather sucks one day its realy nice out this its like a damn deep freeze lol hopefully its nice tomorow

if you havent painted them yet you'll need to clean them again before you paint. and to be safe go over it again with some scotch brite. 1500 is a lil to fine for paint prep but for buffing its great.

yea im gana presure wash them b4 i paint them but i might get some lower grit sand paper then if u guys think its to fine i didnt want to go to low cuz the 1500 scatched them up a good bit as it is but i guess like 1000 couldnt hurt

while were on the topic of sand paper and stuff how many coats do u guys think i should put on i was thinking 2 or 3
