Chrome trim painting

[armanib]

Well as nobody seems to have the shadowline trim peice i need im going to paint mine .
Ive been told its sating black so how would i go about spraying it what wet n dry grit do i want and any primer?
Gonna just use halfords paint

[armanib]

Is this a good idea.
1.)Sand down with 800 gritt wet n dry to make a nice textured surface
2.)spray with sating black once and allow to dry then give another coat or 2
3.)Wet n dry with 1200 gritt sandpaper to make it smooth and no bumps
4.)Maybe hit with a last coat
Any good?

I think you may need primer between steps 1 and 2 but I'm no expert. Why not get it from the dealer, it can't be that expensive. You can use the proceeds from your leathers

Its NLA otherwise i would have bought it

What bit you after, I got complete set I'm not using now.

I'd hold out for the real thing. It's a lot of dicking around, especially if you're going to paint it on the car.

Number 4
I can pay now

Surprised it's NLA. Someone's sure to be breaking a car with shadowline sooner or later
