Hey all
Wanted to paint a fan shroud in satin black.
Need to sand it to get rid of some scratches and maybe bog some deep holes then spray with acrylic satin black from my favoured can :)
Any tips or recomendations for priming and/or bog??
Cheers

just make sure that its free from any grease and dirt dont use coarse paper try and stick to the finer grade and use a plastic primer followed by a few coats of undercoat and then your satin black make sure to give the undercoat a rub before you paint dont rub your plastic primer as this does not need rubing you can buy plastic prime in a can most important just follow the directions on the can and you should be sweet

If the marks are not that bad you really don't have to bog any marks up, sometimes heavy scratches can be feathered out flat over a large area, then that way you can avoid painting it. I recently restored an old motocross bike and all the black plastics, sprocket guard, air box, alternator cover etc I sanded all the marks from the last 30 years out with 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000 grit wet and dry paper and then I gave them to a guy who does bead blasting, SBS (specialised blasting services) alloy engine specialist, Capalaba QLD. Wayne Jacobson 0411 33 28 34. He does all your alloy engine bits (inside and out) and it is high speed and gentle process as used on air craft engines. I had him do all my plastics so I would have a uniform consistant texture all over, the results were perfect but the colour is very bleached as you would expect with plastic, the alloy comes up fantastic. To overcome this I put the pieces in plastic bags poured in some armoroil (drenched the pieces as well) and then sealed the bag. I left them sit for about a month or more because it is my belief the armoroil actually vapours and bleeds the resin or chemical out of the plastic that gives it some shine or restores the shine, if I am wrong correct me but when I got them out of the bag they were perfect and even after a few washes they stilled maintained an even all over original appearance and I would just give them a bit off a wipe over with a rag with some armoroil on every now and then. Cheers
