Pioneer~Saturn Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 My buddy asked me to refinish his 2006 Mustang GT's front splitter (bumper lip) and mirrors...so here we go, started with the mirrors... Ugly seam that I'll be sanding off... Getting started on that seam... Prepped with 400-grit... Primed... Going to let dry, flip them around, hit them lightly with some sand paper (probably 600-grit) and then do another light coat of primer...

dyeagain15 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 As long as you don't burn through the primer while sanding, there shouldn't be a need to reprime. If the surface is good and smooth sand it with 600, shoot your color then clear.

Just trying to save you from doing extra work Post pics when youre done Thanks, yea I'll try not to go back down to plastic through the primer and just paint it then clear. Planning on getting them as close to the factory gloss black look like his mustang as possible. These and the splitter should look so much better on the car afterwards.

Pioneer~Saturn Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hit them with an initial black coating, with a few imperfection that I see (you can see most of them in the pics) I may be lightly sanding again and repainting before moving to clearcoat. More later tonight, most likely.

HunterJohnson Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looks good man, nice rattle can work. It's always easier when you can use something to hold up ur piece like in the last shot. Saves time and you can apply coats more evenly Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
