Vaughany Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hi everyone, this is to all you paint experts. tAt the bolney meet, the pucker Supra that was in the Car park, the one will the Gold Blitz Alloys. In the Engine Bay I noticed that the owner had painted the fuse covers and this looked excellent. my question is can you use any standard paint that is suitable for plastic or do I need use a special heat resistant paint due to the heat generated under the bnnet. In either case, which is the best paint to use and where can I get it from. My colour code is 199 - silver. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I would imagine regular paint will be OK - the trick would be to use the right primer, you'll probably want a dedicated, flexible, plastic primer. Lots of light coats of colour and it should be OK. I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 If 199 is the standard Supra silver than Halfords Toyota Lucerne Silver is a damn close match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
