Painting plastic car with his hands

In addition to the technical condition of the car plays a very important appearance, and most car owners wants his car apart from the crowd likes. For this purpose there is tuning the car - to set different bumpers, aerodynamic skirts, overlays on skirts and the like, which does not affect the car's performance, but it creates a beautiful appearance. But quite often, these skirts and family details of the car, made of durable plastic, subjected to mechanical damage - cracks, chips, scratches. Inside the car, too many plastic parts that are susceptible to aging from time to time. To bring the look of the car in decent condition is not necessary to go into expensive services, and in the presence of a small number of tools and equipment to try to paint plastic components in the home. How correctly to perform painting plastic at home? The process of dyeing plastic is virtually no different from painting the other parts of the car, except for some of the materials used, applied directly on the plastic parts. Originally part prepare: eliminate irregularities with a special putty and cover the ground for plastic. If the plastic surface previously stained it to process all items will not be enough to handle the damaged areas. A colored areas simply treat fine sandpaper. In the manufacture of avtoplastika use materials of two kinds: requiring or not requiring priming. Offered advice on the definition of a home the need for priming, such as checking buoyancy, ignition, etc. simple, but does not inspire much confidence. The only accurate way is to see whether previously primed painted detail or not. If the plastic is not primed, and paint holds up well, then we can safely forget about the dirt, in all other cases holding it is necessary. If necessary, correct minor defects in the plastic parts it must first correctly putty. To do this, use a special filler for plastics, which differs from the usual polyester greater plasticity. Primed surface after treated with waterproof abrasive paper with water to fill cracks and crevices. Before you start painting or priming the surface should be well clear of fatty compounds, bitumen and oil stains. For these purposes are well-suited white spirit or solvent 646. Then the roughness was treated with antistatic agent for removal of static electricity that attracts dust. Everything is completely dry it again, and degreasing with gun inflict 2-3 layers of soil, preventing stains. Primers can be of different colors, it is better to select a tone to the painted surface. After drying, the soil with fine emery cloth will once again be frosting for the best fit of acrylic paint. Apply the paint layers should be at least 3-4 times with the mandatory drying after each color. Recently, in the shops there is very convenient in application of paint in aerosol cans. If you use a paint-metallic, then applied for 20-25 minutes after the last coat of lacquer painting. The final stage is the application of wax polishing paste, which will hide the errors made when painting. Stain should be performed in a clean ventilated area free of dust. If there is no self-confidence, then try the pre-stain on some unnecessary plastic parts.
