Hello Artful, I like the look of the paint scheme you have used but have a few questions. Can you list the process and ingredients individually? Initially it reads that you used a BUN0090 a few years ago and then you updated stating that the Valspar Satin Clear is now what you use.
I went to Lowes and got a Valspar Satin Matte Black paint and a primer but now that I reread this it seems that isn't what you used.
Is the following correct?
600 grit sandpaper Dry
Adhesion promoter? (could not find)
Self Etching Primer Black (I bought Gray, that's all they had)
600 grit wet
2-3 coats paint, BUN0090
1 clear coat. Valspar.
Anyway great thread, I am really curious to try this and see what happens.
The only change with the paint is that the manufacturer's model number changed, it's the same paint.
For clarity the entire process I used:
FOR METAL:
- Scuff off gloss with 000 gauge steel wool
- Clean with Duplicolor Surface Prep Spray
- 2 coats of self-etching primer
- wet sand with 800 grit sandpaper
- 3 color coats
- wet sand with 1000 grit
- 2 coats of Valspar Satin Clear
FOR PLASTIC:
- Scuff off gloss with 000 steel wool
- Clean with Duplicolor Surface Prep Spray
- 1 coat of Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter (found at all Advance Auto, Autozone, and Pep Boys stores)
- 3 color coats
- wet sand with 1000 grit
- 2 coats of Valspar Satin Clear
NOTES: the Valspar Satin Clear is proving to be a little prone to scratching on the cowl. Rocks (especially ones motivated by the sheer force of DRKWNG's Super Duke) are prone to dinging up the surface a bit. No issues on the seat fairing, but anything out front will take some abuse.
