What paint to use

To prepare for paint, you need to get the finish spotless and sanded to 600 grit with wet paper, then run a tack cloth over the piece to get rid of all the dust. Then use a high build primer to fill any minute sanding scratches.

Once that has dried after a couple of coats, sand again starting with a 240 grit paper. all the way up to 1500 grit paper. Then apply your first coat of colour, best stuff to use is a Cellulose paint in a single stage to start with, rather that a 2 pack paint, these can be picked up at your local body repair shop. Cheap and easy to use, apply 2-3 coats, and tack cloth between dry coats to remove any dust. once this has completley dried, wet sand with 800 grit paper, 1500 grit paper and 2000 grit paper, then apply 3 thickish coats of clear, make sure that this does not run, so try and get used to working with it. repeat steps of tack cloth. Leave for 24 hrs to set. Once set, wet sand with 800, 1500 and 2000, then use a medium and a fine rubbing compund in combination with a high speed rotary buffer. Then finally polish with a high gloss resin polish. You should end up with a super high gloss finish! Let me know if you need any more help!
