stewybenson 0 Posted June 9, 2008 alright people, Had grilled pigeon for lunch last week but unfortunately en route to my radiator, he took out half my grill. My mechanic got a new one from vw but it came in black plastic (needs sanding,priming then painting) and VW insist they dont do one primed and ready for painting. Anyone have any experience with this subject? Should i just go ahead and paint the black one he got? Cheers much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah they dont come colour coded so if you need a replacement for a storm it'll need paint, it might be worth using the search as I seem to remember there's a thread on here from someone that had it done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 9, 2008 shouldn't need much sanding to get a decent key for a plastic primer, i wouldn't of thought its too hard for a bodyshop to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul20v 0 Posted June 9, 2008 if you use proper plastic primer it does not need sanding at all a good body shop will have the right primer . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
