    im no painter but done alot on my old corsa like this

    clean down with warm soapy water

    light sand down with wet and dry

    wipe down dry and dust free

    spray a few coats of plastic primer i did 3 (between each coat i let it dry and used a little wet and dry on it but not after the last coat

    spray with colour very light dusty coats leave 10/15 mins between each coat in all i done about 4/5 coats

    let dry for a few hours and gave it 3 coats of clear laquare


    this is the way i did it there is more and likley wrongs and rights in the above

    know what you mean just by colour coding makes it look even lower
    i was looking at it when it was off and it looks so daft without it

    would be harder to do the back becuase of all the cutouts, more chance of drips and paint building up in the corners. but redbullkid has had it done on his vectra and it looks great
