going to do my back bootlock surround and front grille matt balck, but was wondering what exactly i will need, because my mate had done the same but after a while the paint peeled off after some washes?
surely that wouldnt be right, i said it may be because he hasnt used like plastic paint, or even protetor on them, but wasnt too sure, just wondering what i will be best to use to protect either after i sand, then paint them down?
cheers for help in advance, callum

lacquer will protect it, but as its matt, the lacquer may give it a gloss touch, so therefore making the matt paint glossy, obv, not what you want, so sorry just unsure on that bit

now when i think of it, that may actually be better like that, due to my wheels bein siny if you like, so laquer is a good idea then mate!
btw fwiw, your car is minted mate, looks really nice
also i was wondering whats the item before the laquer, dont have a clue what that is tbh lol? cheers

You don't need to lacquer matt black paint as it defeats the point

plastiic primer - halfords - makes a connection between plastic object and further paint
filler primer - a thick primer that fills in minor scratches, use wet and dry imo to smooth down to a smooth surface
fine sand - again wet and dry, smooth surface for paint to attach to
paint - hafords
laquer - halfords

Yeah I saw that bit, then surely it would make sense to use gloss black paint and lacquer that instead of lacquering matt black as it would look odd

Well I've not used matt black paint myself but I'd have thought it would look like matt black with lacquer rather than gloss black. Matt black usually looks greyer than normal black but that might just be because of the nature of it.

Gloss black has a pearl in it to make it 'gloss' while matt black doesn't. It is a flat colour. Do them gloss black looks 10x better n e way
