how to paint berger panel?

how should i paint my berger camaro piece?

i've got a back panel off another camaro, and its currently black.

the way i thought was the best way to do it is:

wash panel
sand panel to scuff it up (what grit?)
apply spraypaint primer
apply semi-gloss spraypaint


will this work and look good?

Re: how to paint berger panel?

I would use 300 grit. And I thought it was flat black, why the gloss?

I've been using spray paint to see what it will look like and it looks fine, But I am gonna be using real car paint. (ie: acrylic enamel satin black)
but spray paint will be fine use duplicolor low gloss black engine enamel.

I used spray paint, came out fine. Sanded with 800 grit, Primered, laid down 3 coats of Satin Black, then one coat of clear (optional). You can see it in my sig.

Shoot it all at the same time primer wait until it "looks" dry then shoot whatever is next then so on. Flat type paints are easy to shoot

Couldnt hurt, I sanded the primer coats after they dried. Its a lot easier than you think, just go for it. Imagine how much ***** I had to sum up since I used my own panel, I was real scuuuuured.
