Hey, someone (posted to wrong group!)

you mean paint the bompers? not yet. i'm just going to mask and paint.

That's what I'm doing.

Here's what I'll do: It just so happens I have a half-gallon of R-M 900 from a couple paint jobs I did. It's a wax remover/degreaser that cleans the surface of grease, oil, wax, etc.

Then, sand w/600 grit sandpaper (autobody grade). I have a D/A sander, so I may use that where I can and hand sand the rest.

Go over it with the R-M 900 again.

Apply an "Adhesion Promoter" (Dupli-Color) which is for plastic bumpers/parts. It is a flexible primer that will help the paint stick to the plastic surfaces without cracking.

One or two coats Clear Coat.

Generally, allow 15-30 minutes between coats to allow 'flash-off' of the solvents in the paint. When the solvents evaporate the paint gets a little sticky and gives the next coat something to adhere to better.

Allow 2 hours after clear coat before putting the car somewhere crap will fall on it (like the pollen from FRIGGIN' OAK TREES!!! er, sorry...have to wash my cars weekly to keep them from turning yellow! ;)

that sounds good. i'll do a similar prep and then paint and clearcoat. since it's plastic, i'v e had expirience. what color is yours? i have that toyota blue.

The dark, metallic blue, or the silver blue? I think the silver blue is rarer on the Supras.

If you looked at the pics posted in a.b.images.fun, that is EXACTLY the color of my car. I tried to make the model as true to detail as possible (even using Automotive paint for the finish...)

Oh, yeah...if you want to see EXACTLY what my Supra looks like, go to a.b.i.f and look for a post header "A challeng for swiggy" (sic).

But that's NOT me in the pic...
