My priorities How do I get a suncream stain out of my car's paintwork? There's a lovely big hand print left by a greasy palm on the wing of my wife's car. We think it was a sun lotion and it's properly baked on. I've tried a range of solvents to remove it, without success Value my car , miles buy or sell? Peugeot CC - - 03 2.

View attachment I would give it a coat of primer Dani. That's what I'm thinking Carl. Have some normal primer here so don't want to have to buy some plastic primer though. TBH Dani I think you'll get away with normal primer as they are only small pal! Sis you not use a primer before the top coats? Yes primer paint and lacquer is fine on these mate they are painted from factory.
Well I took one apart today, I really don't think a few layers of primer and paint will affect their working Haha. How A3-Lee said:. As a rule one coat of primer 2 paint and 2 laquer I've painted a few at work and my own one on the a4 mate.
I'll be doing the following on the cab as one of them has dropped out causing them all to fail Basically the same as painting any small part: Slight key with very fine wet and dry I have some grit for paint correction 2 light coats of primer, no need for plastic primer IMO as they're tiny, don't flex and you'll have enough of a key if you do the first step. That appears to be what Audi did to mine as they don't seem to be lacquered and therefore aren't a great match to the bumper!
They're only small so you can go quick and dirty, it'll look ok too. For me though if you've gone to the trouble you may as well do it right! Well I took one apart Matt, there's over 1inch of solid foam inside the sensor and around 5mm or resisn so a few layers of paint in my eyes now that is isn't going to harm anything. Snap on the lack of lacquer as well, I inspected my old ones at the same time as taking one of them apart and it looks like they have only painted them, no sign of lacquer, the paint wasn't the neatest either may I add.
Someone told me you cant use mettalic paint on reverse sensors??? How many coats of acrylic should i use be for the clean coat? Anything else anyone can suggest? Thanks for you help in advance. Calaber Nil Bastardo Carborundum. Hi Smit I purchased the factory reverse sensor kit in Martini and they pre-paint the sensors to match the colour of the car. However, the coverage is thin and I have seen it in print somewhere that the sensors should not be painted too heaviliy.
Mine are definitely painted in the correct colour and it's the same as yours. Any metallic fleck in the paint has no effect on the way the sensors operate. I would give the sensors a light coating of plastic primer, a couple of light coats of colour and perhaps one coat of clear. That would be about as thin as you could paint them yet still ensure adequate colour depth.
According to Holden: Sensor assemblies are supplied pre-painted. JwilliamsM , Aug 13, Have just bought 4 of the Land Rover units and will be painting myself. They are Have a look on interweb - lots of people have used these without issue.
MHOO , Aug 14, Snowdog , Aug 14, As above if you paint them then only give them a dusting My painter buried mine when he repainted the car and now they dont work.
