the front lip on my vp has had some cracks in the paint for a while now, and bits flake off now and then. now that i finally have a garage i pulled it off to repaint those bits.
i took it off and sanded the areas well back so the line between the red paint and the bumper plastic were as smooth as possible, then sprayed these bits with K+H plastic primer sanding lightly between most coats. there's a bit of overspray on bits i didn't need to repaint but i figured i could probably lightly sand them back with a fine grain paper.
i got a can of colour matched paint from ricerbarn and the plan is to attack the lip on friday, but it's my first attempt at something like this and i'd rather not **** it up after all the prepwork.
how do i go about best putting the red on preferably just on the cracked off bits that are primered now. should i do a clear coat or will that yellow after time? what's the go with sanding to get a good finish on the red?
