Painting the Windguard???

Post by simo711 »

I'm looking into the windguards and have seen some people with painted ones. What type of paint do I need so that it won't come off with the heat since it gets so hot here in KY.<P>Chris<P>------------------<BR>Mazda MX-3, Black, Automatic, 1994 Base Model V4

To make sure that the paint stays on, be sure to:<P>1. lightly sand the windguard to give it a slightly rough texture all over<P>2. apply 1-2 coats of primer, and allow ample time for it to dry<P>3. paint with desired (heat resistant?) paint, 2-3 light coats; allow ample time to dry<P>4. maybe appy 1-2 coats of a clear coat<P><P>------------------<BR>----<BR>Gary Mui (gary.mui@sinnovations2.com)<BR>Sales Representative<BR>Streamline Innovations 2<BR>Vancouver, BC<BR>604.312.9588<BR><A HREF="http://www.sinnovations2.com" TARGET=_blank>www.sinnovations2.com </A><BR><A HREF="http://mx3slimvisors.2ya.com" TARGET=_blank>mx3slimvisors.2ya.com </A>
