cadman Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have new rear plastic for my 03 315 but I want to "fix up" the old one a bit to use for practice. I could prob make it look OK using silver or black , but wondered if anyone knows a close match to the red. eg FORD XYZ red which I can buy at an Autoparts store in a spray can.

monty-python Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Don't think i would spray it, cos the first time it bends, the paint will just crack, craze and probably fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james111089 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 my dad 01 rear mudguard is painted as standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-python Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) Sorry, i only had a 99 &03, they were both coloured plastic, black and red. I could be wrong.if your dad's 01 is painted. It would have to be an extremely flexible paint, probably with added plasticiser. Still wouldn't advise it!

rhaines Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I used to race radio controlled cars and used to paint the very flexible plastic bodyshells with spraypaint and they used to get a good hammering and the paint never fell off. You shoukd be able to use Lexan pain with good results but as always it is all in the preparation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
