D.I.Y. - Brad's Visor Clean Up & Painting - By Richard DeFries

D.I.Y. - Brad's Visor Clean Up & Painting

1. Gather Your Tools / Parts - 150 & 1500 Grit Sandpaper - Paint (Color Of Preference) - Plastic Primer - Clear Coat - 3M Double Sided Foam Tape - Rubbing Alcohol - Micro Fiber Towel

2. Sand Smooth With 150 Grit Sand Paper. Then Sand Again With Your 1500 Grit Sand Paper To Make It Really Smooth. (Ref Pic 1 & 2)


3. Once Smoothed To Your Liking Wipe Down With Rubbing Alcohol & Micro Fiber Cloth To Remove Any Debris

4. Now Use Your 3M Tape To Mount The Visor Up Right. Cut A Small Piece And Fold It Over To Raise The Visor Up A Bit

5. Once Mounted & Stable Spray Your Primer (Ref Pic 3) Let The Primer Dry For About 1 Hour Before You Start Painting.

6. Once The Primer Dries Start Laying Down Your Paint In Nice Even Coats 6 - 8 Inches Away. Lay Down 2-3 Coats Of Paint Allow 15 Mins Of Dry Time Between Coats ( Ref Pic 4-7)





7. Allow The Paint To Fully Cure Over Night. If You Start Laying Clear Coat On The Paint Not Fully Cured It Will Crackle And You Will Have To Redo It
