Speedy recovery
I wanted to change the look of the Fizz so I started looking into painting some bits.
I got some Rustoleum Satin Black (semi gloss), and painted the radiator plates and side pods. The plates came out fantastic. However, the pods, not so much.
I had two problems. The paint has a bit of a splotchy look, in the light it doesn't look even. And the place where the sticker used to be, there's a gloss. There are also little bumps in the paint...
I did sand the surface before I painted, but didn't use primer or a sealant.
Would priming the surface get rid of the glossy area and get a more even look to the paint? Would a sealant help? The only reason I don't want the sealant is that I like the semi-flat look....
Any tips on how to enclose the pods so that dust doesn't settle on them while drying?
Oh yeah, I have another paint project coming up (I'll show it when it's done) and I'd really like to get it right the first time.
