Thanks,

what are you asking? the entirety of painting something? I dont mind helping but you have to ask questions

 

Im actually painting mine next week though...If you had a second set, I am coming down to the LSU game this weekend and could pick em up and paint them for you for practically nothing

My usual way is to sand w/red scotch brite, 600 800 1000grit paper, then dawn soap,degreaser and mold release remover, then alcohol....next is a filler primer (to smooth them out) sand with 1000 if you need it smoother, then clean and apply base (I do a light coat, one or two wet coats, then a medium coat depending on how it takes) then a clear (light coat on wet base, then two wet coats and maybe a last medium coat)

Flash time is around 15-20 minutes on a good polyurethane paint, and dont put em on for at least a day (can set them in a warm oven for awhile or under a hot light) and dont buff/wax for a week or so if its less than 80 out

 

^^^thats some good info matt!

 

Well done... excellent information.

 

search for my thread i did it...

 

matt wanna send me yours then ill send you mine.....

 

lets just do that until all handles have been painted...

 

Hey if someone had an exta set I would have no trouble with that...someone go to a junkyard! Lol I just bought a 30gal Craftsman compressor so I've been painting alot

 

yes all follow my trend
