However he may not be chasing the huge numbers some of us are after.You will have to strip it completely to get a good finish, bit of paint stripper should do the trick.Just use some high temp paint on it and go whatever colour you want. Brake calliper or engine enamel will do the trick, the key is preparation. If your base coat is perfect then it will be alot easier to make the colour coat look good. Just follow the directions on the can you buy for prep work.Good luckCheers,Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67304-crossover-black-paint-work/#findComment-997071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
