ultra blue needs grey primer

From my experience ultra blue is also a pain in a butt to colour match

I rattled can'd my sensors with Vx cans and they came out perfect colour match

I did the same as plasma, excact colour match. All i will say is after lacquering, leave for a good couple of days before fitting, they are a snug fit and even tho the lacquer is touch dry it will of not hardened enough for the pressure of your thumb pushing them in.

wouldnt you need plastic flexi primer to allow for expansion of plastic in hot/cold weather????though being small normal primer will prob do

did the grey primer and blue and then 4 to 5 layers of lacquer and been on for a good cpl of months now and no sign of flaking or cracking
