More Color Matching and Sticky Suggestion
Might want to add this info as a sticky some day.
I'm getting bored and was gonna go ahead and paint my bumper cap, lower valance(again) and my dash bezel. all black.
Are these the proper steps to take?
also I have a set of door handles that have already been prep'd I just need to paint them. If i go get a can what color code do i get to make sure it's not like 4 shades of red off. Anyone know?

1. Clean peices with hot water/dish soap
2. Begin sanding with 180 grid to remove most of texture
3. Sand with 220 to get rid of "hairs"
4. Apply 2 coats of plastic adhesion promoter
5. 2 "light" coats of primer
6. Wetsand with 500 grit sand paper
7. Wash peices with hot water/soap
8. Paint with pewter duplicolour rattle can paint
9. Several coats of clear

Personally I would not worry too much about sanding down all the grains completely smooth. You really just need to rough it up enough to give it something to stick/grasp onto.. The filler primer will take care of the grains. Using the filler primer instead of sanding completely smooth will prevent Waviness in the outcome....

What kind of sander do you have...will an angle die grinder work? (I have a die grinder)
