[doc] Re: Front fascia

["westleymills2003" <westleymills2003@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

remmeber not to use just any primer you have to use a plastic etch 
primer first if you dont if there is any bare plastic showing the 
paint is likely to peel in that spot.also give a good key for the 
paint to stick.say p600 grade wet and dry if using primer
          if your fascia is just dull with some deep scrathing and 
even patches of dark plastic i think theres no need too use a colour 
primer just an etch primer{which are normaly clear}{upol 2000k 
plastic etch primer is the best iv seen}so sand down with p1000 grade 
paper then just apply your colour base coat then WITHIN THE HOUR put 
the lacqure on remember this needs to have a good plastisicer mixed 
with it normaly 25 percent. if you follow these instructions your 
have no crazzing cracking or those big stone chips where the paint 
just falls off the fascia.REMEMBER TO SPIRIT WIPE BEFORE AND AFTER 
EACH STAGE to avoid reactions.
    i am told  the delorean fascia when leaving the factory wasnt 
very glossy as they used a semi mat finish laquer so i searched all 
my paint supplyers for an exact match of texture and i found it.for 
people not in the trade i found which companys use it with there 
label on.mercedes sell this ready in a can but im not sure if it will 
last on plastic so im doing some tests but it perfectly matches my 
untouched facsia
