Necessary to prep a brand new lip before spraying?

[chauster]

waste of time. I've painted about 39846798 plastic lips, OEM And replica. no difference. only thing is replicas tend to have small plastic defects where you get some 600 wet and rub it off. you dont need to rub the whole lip.

DO NOT HI FILL(primer) your lip. its a waste of time and money. so stupid.

What lip is it? OEM or replica? I got a replica lip and had to sand some rough patches and plasti-bond some little divets. I recommend sanding, primer, then paint.

I gotta replica and done the same too, but when i painted it the factory coloour (mixed from green valley autobarn) it turned out pretty dark, what colour is G82P?? Is it Dark Green Pearl or Cypress Green Pearl Metallic? I looked it up on the net and saw them 2 =\

without actaully colour matching and spraying out on your car its not possible to match your car colour 100%. even if you gave your car to them you still wont be able to get 100%.

Yeah true, but it looks very good from a distance though, just the fitment is dodgy LOL

it was 39846798 lips. this will affect the structural chemical bond between acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or polypropylene/poyurethane plastic and paint.
35435435 will need to be sanded to achieve 39846798 for required bonding.
