Message: [QUOTE="Whitezotti, post: 1016814, member: 4786"] For exterior paint I used nason. Which is a third of the price of DuPont. I used nason because of the small surface area. I prepped the mirror covers with the grey scuff pad and 600 grit and 1000 grit sand paper. The softer the sanding the better it sticks. My mirror covers were already primed grey from factory. So I just painted after prepping. You may want to consider doing a primer coat. The paint I mixed with the reducer. I think it was 8:1 . You should read the instructions obviously . The paint is a z1 ford exterior paint. Other known as Oxford white. I applied 3 coats. At least do 2! You should wait at least 15 to 30 minutes before applying clear coat. Clean your paint gun in the mean time. Next is the clear coat. You mix that with the activator. 4:1 I believe. I applied 2 coats letting them dry between coats for about 10 Minutes between. Some people might wait longer or shorter. It's their preference . After your done you can sand down the mirror covers if they are a little rough . Make sure if you do. Use high grit paper. At least 1000 to 2000. I've heard people using less but If like to be safe. [/QUOTE]
