No man its two coats of Clear Coat... primer would just destroy everything you did. I can reccomend that You Do sand it first w/ 400, spray 1 coat of primer, wet sand 400, two coats of paint, MAKE SURE YOU LET DRY COMPLETELY! YOU MUST BE PATIENT!! then 2 coats clear. In painting My interior I know plastic is a bitch and paint peels right off.... my advice... be careful and patient

by the way looks good man

Green color scheme to match the car, with gold letters on the cover.

I saw this done earlier this summer on I think Astroboy's car, and fell in love with it, I just needed to get my other car fixed so I cn take my time prepping and painting them.

I also suggest High Temp paint if you can find it, it just would last longer and I do suggest a light sanding of the plastic to bettermate the paint and plastic parts! CLEAR COAT is a must to keep the shine and help repel the cracks, chips and flakes in the future.

No offense Casper, but in the last posts that I have read of yours, all you have een doing is bashing. I know for one that you were an example of what I wanted my CL to be, but what is with the attitude?

i just cleaned it very good and used krylon paint and clear coat, i used a fat cap also. for you people who dont know what that is, it is used for doing graffiti, using this cap makes it come out better.

casper-i did blue because i like blue, i am either doing my calipers that color also or maybe silver/grey color.

acura3.0cl- you just have to turn the fasteners and they pop off, be careful of the ones by the cap and wires they are in there pretty good.

Did the spray paint you used come with a flexible additive so that the paint dosen't crack?? I ask cause when you paint a flexible surface, normal spray paint can crack after a while. There's an additive in the paint that allows for bendability in whatever you paint. I don't know what its called though. It might not be necessary for those plastics but, if its available, that would be my choice of paint.

To answer that comment from KC CL and to clarify to NYKEEROCKA and all....

I am not hating or giving attitude... I hook up my car to please me, and I love getting feedback to improve my car... Good or bad... I give back the same... I see negative comments as productive as cosistent positive comments, with room to grow... I do not say things on this board to be a dick, and I am sorry if it comes out that way, but I am honest and truthful in everything I do and say in life, including my criticisms here on A-CL... Its my feelings if I like and/or do not like something and I feel entitled to share that openly and will not sit there and tell everybody taht everything is GREAT and BEAUTIFUL lilke alot of people do here... especially when its not!!!

you guys need to learn to takethe good and the bad... take the good for your pride and the bad for means of improvement and if not, then ignore it.. not everyone will like thesame things as everyone else...

KC CL... I mean no harm by my comments and see everyone here as CL family, I treat you all as if you were my friends, and I like to tell my friends the truth, expecting them to see why I say what I say... I am sorry for any misconseptions of my intent.... and that you for using ME / MY CAR as one of your examples!

Caper, just trying to figure out what was going on. I guess you are right, you are just telling the truth about what you think. I shouldn't have gotten all over you for it. I apologize.

Looks good, and Casper is right, he dishes out the good and the bad, that's why we ask people for their opinions on this forum. I take what people say into consideration, but I also know what I like for me. Remember, whatever we say to you, you still gotta make the payments, so please yourself first. My only objection was to the color blue, but you said you like blue, so do it for yourself. I just couldn't put blue into my Green car's engine bay!


I am sure Casper isn't the only one with a different opinion, but he was man enough to say something.
