Custom Paint job

sharun10 · 01-08-2017, 05:41 PM

Good afternoon fellas,
I have been wanting to paint my golf cart for a while now. Did my fair share of research in reguards to painting plastic and using an adhesion promoter etc. I chose to sand my 2001 club car ds right down to bare plastic, using 80 grit sandpaper. Then I proceeded to clean the body parts very well with a wax and grease remover and a paint prep solution. I then decided to use an epoxy 2 part primer(excellent adhesion). Did 3x coats, nice and thick, let the primer sit for 24 hours and it turned out awesome. Now just to sand down the primer with 400 grit and ready for paint. Using custom shop paint (electric blue metallic).

Very nice. I'd love to paint mine... I just have not wanted to tear it down and remove the panels... looking forward to seeing the finished product.

do yourself a favor and take the extra time to shoot the inside too - it's a nice "finishing touch" that really makes a huge difference in the finished cart. Nice job so far, BTW
