Are these just painted or is the plastic actually Santorini Black?
Postage to Italy doubles the price of the item How easy is it to spray an existing grill and surrounds? |

Rub the plastic down thoroughly (I used 800 grit paper) then degrease. Next use plastic primer, get a few light coats on leaving to dry in between coats. I then put on a couple of coats of high build primer and let completely dry before flatting nice and smooth then degreased again. I used 2 pac base coat aerosol from a local paint supplier then 2pac clear. Luckily it didn't need flatting and polishing when dry but I did the spraying on a nice warm day and have had a little experience. Ray

Ideally gotta be a stable temp of a min 15C to around 25C. Ideally approx 18C -22C is ideal.
Everyone has different ways of painting and everyone gets mixed results, the grille is the hardest yo do due to its awkward shape. |
