Black Magic paint spraying

Featured Replies

Has anyone dabbled in spraying Black Magic paint?

Do you need a special lacquer as it is essentially a pearlescent finish?

I've sprayed VW Bright Green Pearlescent and the lacquer isn't anything special, just normal clear stuff. The pearl effect comes from using mica flake in the paint rather than metal flake as per metallic.

As you know, I'm thinking of colour-coding the chromed front surround & possibly the door handles.

So my next questions are:- Which will provide a better finish - aerosol paint or proper paint diluted & sprayed with air gun/brush? (I have a cheap modellers air brush I can use).

Also, what's the best primer to use on the chromed plastic grille surround & handles?

I have used Black Magic from Halfords. Finished it off with a clear coat of laquer

A primer suitable for plastics.
