Wetman 417 Posted May 29, 2020 Will PS paint work on the wing mirrors on an mf-01x or will I need to buy the corresponding TS acrylic spray for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3729 Posted May 29, 2020 I use PS on the body accessories all the time like mirrors and wings etc. Wash the parts, primer them and then PS colour over. It has a sort of satin finish to it so you can go over it with TS gloss clear if you want it shiny. It doesnt always match 100% as the final colour on a lexan shell is normally determined by the backing colour and how translucent the paint is but in a lot of instances you may not have a choice as matching colours arent available in both ranges. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy1 2929 Posted May 29, 2020 as @Superluminal says it'll work fine. Just give the parts a rub over with wet and dry or a scotchbrite type pad to get a key on them, or it'll flake off. You can actually polish PS paint to quite a good shine just using auto polish, but you can of course give it a coat of clear coat if wanted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I thought about that and was thinking of using the backing colour on the lexan as the primer so you should get a reasonable match up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bromley 681 Posted May 30, 2020 I used PS paint on my CC02 G500 mirrors and spare wheel cover. As said above it'll need a coat of lacquer if you want a glossy finish. I was delighted how well it turned out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
