Kopite Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 They don't have a facelift set made up. There wasn't enough people interested to organise getting them done http://www.metal-monkey.co.uk/acatalog/Supra_MKIV_Facelift_Manual_220mph.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You could always spray them black, then whilst the paint is tacky, gently run a fairly stiff bristled brush across them. If you are careful, that should give a brushed look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 220 mph, black, with colour choice http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/jaxdanjo/28072009312.jpg oooh, sexy, that's what we're after. Matt, Thor do some poweder coated black metal dials, check my garage for pics, also you can choose the colour that shines through them to a degree Alrady have these ones bud. Got them at a brill price, just wondering if i'd like them black like stock, think i may have made my mind up. On the Blob Mike?? You could always spray them black, then whilst the paint is tacky, gently run a fairly stiff bristled brush across them. If you are careful, that should give a brushed look. Good idea, could be worth an go. Would be easy to redo if it didn't look right. So any advice on prep and spraying? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Are the numbers and markers actually cut out of these dials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Are the numbers and markers actually cut out of these dials? Of course they are, they wouldn't work any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 So any advice on prep and spraying? Clean them. Primer. Spray. Brush. Done. Of course they are [cut out], they wouldn't work any other way. If it's that obvious, why don't you just prep and spray them, then brush over them as animal has suggested?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 If it's that obvious, why don't you just prep and spray them, then brush over them as animal has suggested?? What's whether they have holes or got anything to do with spraying? Clean them. Primer. Spray. Brush. Done.?? For starters, I remember someone talking about sanding first in order for the paint to take properly. What about the right products???

michael Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Spray it! Etch primer and 3 coats of rag-rolled egg-shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 What's whether they have holes or got anything to do with spraying? Ah, sorry - I thought you were worried about spraying over the numbers. For starters, I remember someone talking about sanding first in order for the paint to take properly. What about the right products??? I suppose that's true... but typically for something like this you could clean them (sand if you wanted), apply primer and then paint onto them. Not sure about the right products - now you've mentioned products maybe someone can help better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
