Black paint for... black stuff

[ftp2leta]

I thought i should post about what to use when you want to paint all the back stuff (Grill, mirror, rear upper grill and so on....) I have tried many many product over the years but after all those, I think there is only one reel good combination of product. I use a spray gun of course but all product are also available in spay can, so here they are ( all are available at NAPA):

Left is the cleaner, this one is a must to clean deeply and to open the plastic fibber. Second is the adhesion promoter, this is like a glue and a primer in some ways. this one will make sure that the paint stick to the plastic. The last one is the paint itself, this is by far the best paint you can buy on the market, it's OEM finish and it's simply amazing... but it's not cheap! I show the paint in a quart format and spay format.

For the curious "Subi conversion one", i have included a few good pictures that show how the engine is attach to the trany. This is a classic question i have to answer every day. People have problem understanding how another make / car company can be professionally fitted onto another one. I hope some of those picture may answer some of your questions.
