What Primer, Paint, Lacquer?

[keith1983]

Im looking to colour code a few bits of the plastic interior. I've got a 2002 dark blue vectra which I believe is called ultra blue? What primer, paint and lacquer would those that have done before recommend or warn me to stay clear of? Can I get a paint match off the shelf? I'm after an aerosol can as Im only doing little bits, also what wet and dry to use? Thanks.

use min 800/1000 grit paper, vx sell the paint in a rattle can in ultra blue with a laquer, for plastic, use a plastic primer.....

would it be the same for doing exterior parts aswell? Is the paint expensive?

[ditchp]

yes matey, primer, paint , laquer.....

stuff from vx is less than a tenner for the 2 small can's and primer is a bout a fiver from local car spare's place

Cheers I'll give that a bash! Try something small first I think incase I make a balls up of it!

just put light coats on and keep a gentle heat on it....will stop any runs or reacting.

And dont spray outside in this weather , paint will either bubble or go matt due to unequal temperature ,s of paint and product
