Hello, i would like to spray my wheel arches and the strip of black/grey plastic in between the boot and the painted section of the front bumper. The finish i am looking for is a glossy/metalic black colour. how do you go about spraying plastic and protecting it so that it does not just crack off ! , Many thanks !

take off all the bits you want to paint rub em down with wet n dry, starting at about 400 n go to 1200ish. prime using platic primer and paint in your colour then laquer and finsh with a good buff up with some wax

make sure you put about 6 coats of paint on tho as this will give it a good deep colour when you put 3 to 4 coats of laqure i have painted my rear arch trim's and rear bumper, only went for satin black but looks the nuts, still got to do the fronts and front bumper, look on my garage to see some picks
