alright, here's the deal
i have a maier hood for my R and the color is faded really bad and doesnt match the red of the plastic anymore, doesn't look the best. i'm considering painting it black now.
i was just looking for some advice on how to do this.
i know i'll have to prep the plastic by sanding it with a really fine grain sand paper...how fine of a grain?
also, for paint i was thinking i'd just go with a rattle can special. krylon fusion with the plastic flex adhesive. would that work or is there something better? apply multiple thin coats with plenty of drying time between them.
i would much rather just buy a quad tech carbon fiber hood but i can't see spending that much money on a hood for my wheeler.
any suggestions are really appreciated.
thanks
