Rear wheel arch has decided to shed most of its paint so I have removed it to give it a spray.
Its a Jap import (L Reg) VX Ltd.
Anybody know if it requires anything other than primer and correct paint. Not sore if a lacquer is required?
Thanks in advance |

| Thanks for the reply joinerman. Is there a difference between clear coat and laquer? |

I was thinking of spraying my panel but I have no experience...
Did you have any DarkEyes before you sprayed your wheel arch? |

If you have a look at the U Pol site there is a detailed description of what to do ie rubbing down between coats etc.
Spray cans are ok for small areas but i dont think I would attempt a full panel.
The sprayed arch I did looks great. It was a lot easier as I took it off to spray.
Good luck with your panel. The trick is PREPARATION -PREPARATION-PREPARATION |
