i ask in a hardware shop, selling Arrow high Temp spray paint for RM18

 

[hampeh]

[ae92levin]

[jdj6632]

[anion]

sorry if u get me wrong dude....

 

[idnawse]

Anyway, it looks like a nice job done. But the paint is not high temperature I think?

 

[idnawse]

Yup, normal can spray, but so far after long distance every weekend, still look good.

 

[seizai]

if cover is plastic, need to use which paint type?

 

[GT_AUTO]

need to spray with adhesion promoter first to let the paint stick to the plastic cover.

 

[frank118]

Yes GT is right. if plastic need a base coat.. i screwed up with my fuse cover...paint didn't stick and run...had to do it all over again.

But its difficult to get a nice base coat spray. Anywhere, you sifus recommend?
