Ford F150 Custom Painted Interior - The Perks of Paint
There you have it: almost ready for more sanding and primer, our plastic A-pillars were one solid piece without grab-handle holes.
Using 320-grit sandpaper and a disc sander, the A-pillars' rough texture were sanded smooth and ready for Bulldog adhesive promoter.
Each piece of the interior that was removed was also sanded down. Removing the plastic of its texture is what makes the plastic look so awesome when the paint has been applied.
Here, you can see Paulino using a small disc sander to make sure each curve, edge, and small surface received the same amount of attention. This ensured the primer adhered evenly and the paint would look uniform.
Each plastic piece was sprayed with Bulldog adhesive promoter. This bond coat made sure the primer would stick to the sanded plastic.
One of South Coast Customs' painters, Paulino, then stepped in and sprayed each panel with PPG Primer. Three coats were applied. Using multiple coats helps to protect and seal the plastic before the final sanding.
After baking in the Sprayzone.net paint booth for an hour, the pieces were again sanded with 320-grit sandpaper, ensuring an even and pristine surface.
Paulino then used 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper to wet-sand the pieces, which made them baby smooth. We were now ready for the PPG Base.
Inside the Sprayzone.net paint booth, each piece received two coats of PPG Base.
