body colored rocker cover.

Post by Col »

well ive got a couple of cans of colour matched holts paint to give my faded mirrors and front bumper a spruce up.

my question is... if i properly prep, prime and laquer the rocker cover, would it be alright? or do i have to use some HT paint? i'd love it to me body colour... but i dont want to have a tatty boubled paint finish after a few miles.
cheers

With mine i sanded it right down to bare metal, then etch primered it, then normal primer and then top coat. So far on any car iv had it has cracked or bubbled off. Iv used this method for blacks as well and has lasted, so i think you should be all good.
