Just like topic says. I want to know how to touch up my kit, and i might just repaint my entire kit, but! I need to know how to do it right, and how to get it that high-gloss finish! Anyone have previous experience? confused.gif
Thanks,
DJMC

True, just didnt think it would be that exspensive, i was talking with a paint guy and he said to do touch up you should do a few things.
1. Get Primer, paint, and a highgloss clearcoat.
2. Apply primer a few times to area make sure masking tape is around so primer doesnt get on any other are.
3. Then spray the paint on do at least two coats
4 then add highgloss clear coat and you should be good to go.

Anyone agree???
