Hi all,
I've got a red TW magna, and am looking to paint the black plastic strips on the doors, and the black side mirrors. Can i spray them myself, or is it best to get them professionally done. Im in Adelaide so if anyone can reccommend anyone to spray it, or how I can do it myself would be appreciated.

cheers,
Dave

Any photos would be good also for anyone that has done this.

Get them done professionally for a lasting and well matched job.

Cost me $130 bucks to get my car colour coded. Well worth the investment.

Do they need to sand back the plastic to "etch" the surface? or do they just spray onto on the sideskirts?

prime then paint - thats all we do
EDIT - we are the magor painter of raw body kit parts too here, never had any of them come back.

think its called an etch primer or something perhaps?
*shrugs* i work in the airconditioned office, not down the back in the paint shop getting hot and high hahaha

If you wanna save money, you can do it yourself by getting pressure packs made up with your colour code - http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53334

This is what mine came up like.

Etch primer would be correct. would you be able to find out a rough quote on how much id be looking at getting skirt and that piece in the middle of door sprayed? im aware ur in another state, just wondering how much id be looking at going through a panel shop lol. Cheers. JM

I am in the process of doing this myself. Can someone tell me how to remove the double sided tape EASILY from the protection strips as it is stuck like sh-- to a blanket.:tired: :tired: :tired:
