(The piping that is)Im guessing you can just spray-paint over chromed parts or a good wet n dry sand would be needed before painting them matte black?What you reckon?

Got all the stuff.. Just wanted to know if it depends on how course the sandpaper would have to be to sand it down..Or even just as a wet and dry 1200 I think would do, with a good matt black paint.. and *Beep* bro.. mine was second hand aswell...

Bolan Member 12 Member For: 14y 6m 10d Posted 09/11/10 09:26 AM Share Posted 09/11/10 09:26 AM I would suggest to wet and dry 1200 light sand, then spray and etch primer undercoat then again another wet and dry 1200 light sand and then spray paint matte black 1 coat, light wet and dry 1200 sand again and apply the final coat of paint......... without the etch primer it will 100% fall off or chip away... especially doing it yourself with a spray can etc..
