phxrider Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I start by washing the plastic with a good degreaser and power washer. Then I wash by hand with HOT soapy water. After that I wet sand the plastics by hand with 400 grit then finished with 600 grit sandpaper. After sanding I wash the plastic again with HOT soapy water. Then I clean everything with a Dupont wax and grease remover. After making sure everything is clean, I use a couple of products from Dupont that is made for painting plastics. The first I is a precleaner that is wiped on and then wiped off. The next product is Plas-stik that is sprayed on. Then after all that I use basecoat paint with a clearcoat. I have never had any problems with the paint. The paint job on my Banshee pictured below took around 5 hours from idea to spraying the clear. Just curious! how much did you end up paying for all your supplies? Edited February 19, 2009 by phxrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 hey fucktards. Please stop replying by quoting all his pictures every time you wanna say something. People have been bitchin up a storm about people re-posting pictures in a quote they make and this thread is a perfect example. Cbarown, your the second post in this thread, you don't have to repost all 5 pictures Utleybanshee posted just to say you like it and want to know what color it is. Dirtdragguy, same goes for you bro, no need to be quoting all 5 pictures to say what you had to say. Then dizzzzle01 has to go and copy and paste the same 5 pictures again with a crazy ass comment to boot. Come dudes. There's certainly times where re-posting a picture in a quote is necessary, but when your qoute 5 pictures, 3 separate time and have nothing meaningful to say about that quote, your doing nothing but pissin people off. I know its petty, but this little problem is all over this place and its turning into a bigger problem. So yea, I ask ya's if your going to quote people and they have a shitload of pictures in the quote, please use some common sense and remove the pictures from the quote. For more about this subject, there is a thread in the Roostin' Room, please read http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=109437 sorry for ranting and hijackin the thread a little. That paint color on Utley's Banshee is really really nice, its like someone else mentioned that it looks like a dark cherry color. I like it. And I say keep the headlight covers, but like SickShee said, turn them right side up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokisbuddy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 ^^^^Dude you shouldn't bottle it all up like that :biggrin: For real though I really hope this takes care of the problem. As for the originall post I have seen that color before on an old camaro (stock 69 maybe?) Looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
