Title: Help . . . ! Repaint Cowl
Post by: satz flying on September 03, 2016, 11:45:12 PM
Friends. I need to repaint my FG Cowl. I just tried with automobile cheap spray paint (₹100.00) but it's not getting stick. Let me know anyone have done or some ideas to do it.

Thanks
Satz

the correct way to do it would be

sand the old paint off
use wet/dry sanding paper to get a absolutely smooth surface
apply primer (duco automotive primer is a good choice)
use spray paint either enamel based or nitrocellulose based


the above is short cut - but you should get acceptable results

alternatively you could also use paint stripper to remove the old paint
