Righty ive got corner splitters, and front and rear light eye brows, to fit.
But i want to colour code them myself, (cos i dont wanna waste money, cos i dont know what im doing in the future yet.)

Ive got the primer, paint and laqcuer.

But do i need to sand these parts, before i spray them or just go ahead and spray them as they are?? :???:

I've recently brought and sprayed the headlight brows from them.

You just need to make sure the surface is clean, use solvent/spirity type thing.

They come ready for spraying.

(there should already be a very very fine abrasion on the surface)

They are usually attached with velcro, and are very secure, although if you are sure that you dont want them to come off ( ever) use araldite, this can be bought from woolworths. And is strong as can be.

Or as i used Glue tape, which is stronger tha can be. But very difficult to find in shops.
