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

wet sand between layers, even primer, when you are buying the paint make sure you get some Flex agent added to the paint because you are paint fiberglass, or if you want put regular primer on the kit then spray bulldog adhesive on the kit (flex agent in that) not really that expensive to do, well ya it is what is going to cost you the most is the gun. but you can get a traditional paint gun from like walmart for about 20bux but the only problem with that is when you dont get hvlp paint guns you end up using more paint and getting alot of overspray. Hvlp stand for High Volume Low Pressure.
