Respraying the black strips on a 9N!

Post by JakeHarris97 »

Hello,
I'm after a bit of advice for respraying the coloured black strips on my 9N?

Just wondering what all the steps are to get the best results and also still get a good shine.

Hey mate I work as a painter in a body shop

How will you be painting these? By spray gun? Or by can?
What colour is the car? Is it metallic or is it just a flat gloss colour?

I can give you all the tips you need as this is my trade lol you can always add me on fb and I can talk you through it

I thought to do the same, my car is red, I guess standard gloss colour but the strips are black. I think it would look better with them in the same colour as the rest of the car. Plus the strips have a rough texture so first I'll have to sand it all down to be smooth... Also how do I match the colour? Thanks

To match the colour their is a colou code on one of the stickers mine was in the strut top under the bonnet

Take it to halfords they should be able to match the colour and put it into a stay can for you
