Painting rear boot handle S badge
Latest mod to the FR: painting the rear boot handle (getting rid of the chrome S and going matt black!)
This is something I have been contemplating for a while now, and as my general goal is to go for a grey and black theme with this car, I thought I would tackle it this week.
Having looked at the
badge, I had thought of spraying in-situ but I wondered "how easy would it be to get the
badge off the car?". I used
THIS LINK to
help me remove the boot trim, which I did with no problems or broken bits! Three bolts later and the
badge lifted out of the boot! Good times!!
So on with the spraying...
Badge removed ready for sanding and taping up
First coat of grey primer
As this is still ongoing, I will update the thread as we go. Just a couple of questions for you all...
How many coats of primer and paint do you reckon? I am going to go for three of each.
Should I lacquer it when I finish? Seeing as I want the matt black look, I was thinking "no".
