Hello,
So I got all my plastics off my jeep. I've givin them a good once over with some sand paper and I intend on rubbin them with some acetone of lacquer thinner (which would be better?) hitting them with paint. I know to much paint at a time will cause dripping. I plan on doing two maybe three coats of krylon black on each piece. How's this sound gentlemen? Anything I should add? Never done this before, but my research has came up with that method.
Thanks!

 

You are correct. wipe them down right before painting. (either acetone or thinner as stated) Especially if the pieces sat for awhile after sanding. There is oil, greases and dust in the air. That settle on them, causing fish eyes.

 

Either acetone ot thinner will work well, so flup a coun on that. One thing I do suggest is to gat some wet/dry sand paper and use it after the first coat completely dries. It helps the iter coats adhere better, which is always an issue on trim pieces.

 

Just wait for each layer to tack up between coats (that will allow the solvent in that coat to disapate)

 

I sanded them yesterday so as to have less to do once I get the time to paint should I maybe run em a lil more before paint?

 

If you've already sanded, then just clean it all up with acetone. Letting each coat tack up helps the next adhere, I've just found doing a quick wet sand after the first coat really gives a good grab for the second coat. Once you have a good base layer on there, just letting each sequential coat tack-up is perfect.

I just krylon black, it's for plastics and I've heard numerous ppl use it

 

So about the sanding, I used some 100 grit cuz it was just lying around, a coworker of mine said I need to re-sand with some 2000... ?

 

Yeah, if it were a Porsche and we were painting sheet metal... then yes, I'd re-sand with 2000 grit paper. Since it's plastic and you're going to paint with a textured paint (I assume) then I'd leave it like you have it.
