superdavelotus 124 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Mant thanks for that Graham! I do remember seeing black underneath, why is that? Do you think I need the black if Iam going over the whole lot then? I did have one or two kerbing marks which my bodyshop have already repaired but they couldn't get an exact match on the silver. Do you think I can get away with just buying the silver and laquer? David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Advantage 910 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'm not a paint guru so can't explain the reasons for different layers of colours and the way in which they produce the final result, mainly because I don't understand it myself! Witchcraft. But yes, my wheels had a layer of black underneath them too ( it was easy to spot after the tyre fitters did their usual clumping around ) so I presume to get the absolute best 'as new' results you'd do the whole process. For a blow-in I guess there are corners that could be cut.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
