Some of you may know that I was going to get a paint job but due to me purchasing a new set of Enkei RPF1. The new paint job is put on hold til summer maybe. I decided to just repaint the GT4 rear splitters that I have myself. Since it doesn't look too hard to attempt. I never done any kind of sanding or painting or yea. Just a FYI I sucked at art. LOL! But to get to the point. I need help to repaint them. As of right now they are RED and want to repaint them with Silver 119. They are OEM and not replicas.
My questions: What grade sand paper? Wet or dry sand? What's the best primer for ABS plastic? Need help on this DIY repaint. Specs: GT4 Rear Splitters OEM ABS plastic material Currently still have the original paint on it I believe Slightly scraped but no holes. See pics. Pics:
