Re: Paint advice (superduc21)
You using a brush or a roller?
I hope that you don't have plans on making the repair look like anything but a quick fix.
First clean the entire surface with wax and grease remover.
To repair that damage you will want to sand and prime the bare metal with an etching primer. You can’t just paint over the metal – it won’t stick.
You also will want to sand the plastic – the paint is only going to stick to the surface by the physical bond that the sanding scratches provide. There will not be a chemical bond to the old paint.
It will not match – I am almost positive that the stock paint is a base / clear. Touch up paint is going to be a single step paint and you won’t get the same shine even if it is a perfect match.
