   Hi.
   
   I tried searching for a thread regards this, but couldnt find one (but I am still getting used to Saxperience!).
   
   I have no experience in spraying anything, and I just ordered myself some DTMs (black) for my Wicked Red (EKQ) Saxo VTR. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a walk-through or give me some advice before I get the paints and spray them to match the rest of the car please?
   
   Thanks in advance.

   get plastic primer spray a light coat of grey primer over that
   give a light flat use 1200 w/d when your happy with the
   surface use a tac rag to wipe any dust etc off surface
   spray your colour on when its even and coloured
   leave for 20 mins and apply laquer
   hope this helps

   Its not to hard mate just make sure you take your time and dont rush it! When sanding make sure your 100% hapy with it before priming!
