Hey guys...so this has been covered and covered, just want a final answer.

I want to paint my mirror caps with the ford paint of red which is E4.

where do i get the paint?
which gloss?
Do i need a primer?

What grit sand paper do you suggest?

thanks a lot

 

Hey Devin4X4 i just did mine this past weekend with duplicolour paint and clear.I went to napa auto parts which is my local store and they had a book to match my YN color code and also had the clear coat and primer. Check your local auto store and see if they have it. I bought the adhesion promoter, filler primer, paint code for my color and clear coat. Works really good if you want to do it yourself. If you have any more questions PM me.

 

As far as sanding goes. I started with 220 then 400 and ended with 600. This is about what they looked like when I was done. I cleaned them up a little more after this pic was taken.

 

exactly what i needed...thanks a lot guys!

whats everyone spending on paint? napa best price?

 

I spent a buck 20 for my paint, but duplicolor does not have the dark Blue pearl. So I had to go to a paint shop and get it mixed. I got the adhesion promoter, primer, base coat and clear. I had enough to do the mirrors and flares and I have some left.

Devin, you got a murrays auto parts or a vato zone over there in Sixburgh, they also carry the duplicolor paint line and they are a lot cheaper than napa. I only go to napa as a last resort before the dealer.
