()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 So i was really bored today so i decided to primer my car (Bad idea..) Im thinking i need to make it a Gray and Black camo to cover up some of the tiger stripping Or Is There any other way to reduce Tiger Stripping without more grey paint (I ran out ) Although the primer is 100% better than the paint befor so i guess i can live with it.... I was bored what can i say... If i have the stuff ill do it (It's An Auto haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Loyale Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Wouldn't you be able to wet sand it to remove the tiger striping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllywgn Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 wet sand it out.. 600grit should do it.. spray can is too close to the work surface.. tiger stripes no good.. only on tigers rllywgn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurzer Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Is that an Audi shift boot? It looks like an Alcantara boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 did you use the walmart 99 cent equipment grey primer? if you didn`t, just run out to your local walmart, and respray it with that (light coats) that stuff covers almost anything:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 i guess im going to Wal-Mart lol... is it really .99 cents a can to tell the truth i have never been to Wal-Mart and i don't even know where the shift boot came from it was just laying around in the garage all i can tell you is that there are a few extra holes in it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 put on about 3 coats of primer and wetsand it out with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Then if you want to paint it, this would be the time, even if it is with rattlecan or Rustoleum like kingbobdole;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 yeah, walmart sells it, its in a blue can with a grey top and says "color place" or something on the side. i used to buy it because it was the cheap stuff, but it actually covers and holds alot better than the $4 stuff.
