yeah what the hell were you thinking. posting that false comment. i painted my brothers hole interior and not one chip. oh wait, you probably didnt prep the panel first. there is a way of doin it that comes out nice. first you sand it with a scuff pad to make the panel nice and smooth. then you take a chemical (forgot the name) found at terrys auto supply or any auto supply store. apply it to the plastic and it opens the pores and the plastic and gets rid of some of the oils. then you go over it agian with the scuff pad.paint and admire.

Well that proves your a dumb ass...yeah put sand paper to plastic and see how good that comes out...:rolleyes:
You can Wet Sand it Mayve but good luck...I joined this forum a long time ago hoping to learn things....but it turns out this forum is nothing but a bunch of clueless ricers trying to add aluminum wings, paint their dashes, install washer nozzle lights, straighten their APC stickers, and talk shit about how fast their bone stock Civics are...
I know this is generalizing because some of you arent like that...but some of you guys are the reasons Hondas have bad names...and to the arrogant little prick above me...talk all the shit you want buddy the fact is you are the rice leader so congrats on your accomplishments :sun:
I will check back every once and while to see if i can add any helpful constructive things to this forum.
check out my website: www.brokenlimits.org I have a very very nice How Tos and will be adding things weekly PEACE OUT...
