Hi All,
Been fixing up a broken pre-facelift grille for fitting to my 57' S3, almost at the stage to start painting.
Just looking for some tips/tricks for getting a good finish, I know it's all in the prep work, but do people primer first or use a bonding agent or just go straight in with the paint then laquer?
I've tried sanding off as much chrome as I can to help everything bond correctly.
I've read these are polycarbonate (potentially) so can react with certain paints?
Any help or advice appreciated.
Intend to do a post on the entire process once completed to hopefully help out others.
