missing paint advice please

<< < (2/2)

Disco Matt:
Not sure about the primer. I think you would need etch primer, but the only large metal things I've painted so far are five alloy wheels (where a good clean and rub down then plain old "high build" primer followed by fine sandpaper did the job). I'd be interested to hear what people recommend too as while I can prepare a surface and get a decent finish with aerosols I'm not entirely sure what I should be using. I might try plain primer on one area and leave it for a few weeks to see how it holds up - surely if you prepare the surface properly and make sure the paint is applied in thin coats then it'll stick?

My worry with etch primer is whether masking tape and newspaper will stop it from wrecking the surrounding area - I don't want to respray the whole thing! :lol:
