Painting help needed!
Hello everyone!
I am about to start a fix up on my G-8 that has a G-16 body. I need to know what to tell my paint guy. What type of paint, primer and if any additives are needed? I just picked up a brand new G-16 body in white from my Yamaha cart dealer for this project and I really don't want to screw it up!! Thanks for any advice guys!! |

Not meaning to be a smart *ss, but if your paint guy doesn't know what to do with the body, then I'd be getting another paint guy! Tell him to paint it like he would a car. Prep / Primer, sealer / paint / clear.

Re: Painting help needed!
I was just arming myself with a little knowledge, I was wondering if there was anything special about painting plastic. He is good, but I'm just trying to be careful.
Thanks!! |

Re: Painting help needed!
SOme people say you have to add all this extra stuff to make everythng stick. I never do and we do some expensive paint work. Just rough up your body (scotch brite pads and 400 grit wet paper), clean and start the job. I shoot mostly Matrix products and start with their primer sealer. It comes in 3 different colors, which is nice to have, depending on the basecoat color. Once prepped and primed, it is the same as pianting a car...
