Hi guys, my silver Polo currently has a white quarter panel and a very rough quality silver front bumper, both of which I will be looking to re-spray myself.
My Polo is a 2002 9N 1.2E in standard LA7W reflex silver, the paint quality is very questionable over the whole car, with subtly different shades of silver from past repairs, a few dents, scratches, thin paint on the bonnet, swirl marks all over, it is awful.
For this reason, I am not looking to spray the parts to be "factory perfect", I just want to spray them so that they look presentable, so that when you look at the car, you aren't instantly aware that a couple of bits have been hand sprayed, but if you inspect it closely, you will probably be able to tell.
Any tutorials I have found online involve cleaning, de-greasing, sanding down the panel with various grades of sandpaper, rubbing it with fine grade finishing paper, applying several layers of primer with intervals in-between, then doing the same with basecoat, then the same again - but with a slightly different spraying method - for the clear-coat/lacquer.
I don't have much time, I am lazy, I have two big cans of primer, two big cans of basecoat, and a big can of lacquer... What is the easiest method I can get away with?
