Kranz Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Use the plastic primer Wez. Then topcoat in gloss, matt or whatever you fancy. FYI or anyone else doing this, if you want to chrome effect it, there's a good chrome paint available made by Plasti-Kote. http://www.spraypaint.co.uk/Product/pcode---4510/Go_product---GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Right after messing with this today I have decided not to mesh it at the lens end, would be way too much grief to make it look semi decent. I painted the pipe in grey primer, let it dry and then painted it black, looked really good until I fitted it and the paint scrubbed off as its such a tight fit I have now repainted it in primer and will have another go tomorrow.
