Proper Prep on polyurethane front lips?

[mattsrea]

Hey Ozhonda i been doing some research about preping Urethane material and i want to get your opinions. I know its alot harder to prep polyurethane material than abs plastic and more preping involved. Can you guys assist me on how to properly prep a polyurethane front lip? Is t Adhesion Primer - Primer Plastic - Colour Code - Clear Coat?
Thanks for your help guys.

Rub it with a white scotch brite with a bottle of scuff it stuff , then prepsol , than plastic primer , colour , clear
When using the scuff it stuff it's a paste put on the scotch brite and using water scuff the job than hose it off

dat dere informationaise ^

everything eh said, but you can just use some sort of heavy alcohol to clean it (metho/turps) being careful that you don't get too much on the paint.. this just evens out the surface and removes any dust/specs that will cause obtrusion in the paintwork. after a few coats of colour you can sand down a bit for added smoothness considering it may be textured from paint particles clinging to minescule texture on the PU if there is any.. then lots of clear for dem shinez

Oh okay can you get the scotch brite from like any shop since it kinda looks like a sponge? lol And adhesive primer is not needed?? :O

Go to a pannel beater shop? I gotta quote on some of them around Campbelltown area and they charge me like bloody $300 for a lip like wdf! Thats why i wanted to save myself some money and do it myself.

No... Don't prepsol it. 'Scuff stuff' will get rid of any grease or wax on it. Just use that and then hose off and use an air blower to dry.

But defiantly use plastic primer as you will hate yourself for ever if you don't.

Oh right well yeah your right about that, i got my colour code at Macarthur Paint Discounts and their colour was really really close to my factory colour and autobahns paint was close but not as close.
