DIY colour coding.

Has anyone done it themselves. I'm considering doing front back and side skirts,
Can't see it being too much work. Prime, colour then clear coat and polish?

Just take a LOT of care when you remove all the trim, also get a bag of new clips ready.
My paint shop told me the door skirts took a lot of prep work !!! In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

England 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Tonga Green

Ive done a few bits on mine, and the advice is NOT to rush!

Get on youtube and watch a few examples. Short spray bursts. Good few layers of plastic primer. Lots of layers of colour.

Needs to be warm, dry and ventilated. Ive done all mine in my garage, and I put the cans of paint on the radiator in the house to keep them nice and warm (but not too warm!)

Worth practising on a few small bits 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)
