Hi all
Nice site, been browsing and looks like there's a lot of sound people on here so thought I'd make my first post to try and get some advice, hope you can help :cry::cry::cry:
I have a set of 1200mk2's which are looking slightly tired and wanted to spruce them up so I have been doing my homework first so I make sure they are done right! I've decided I want to go with a nice pearl white for the decks rather than the standard silver but can't find anywhere on t'interweb that gives details of how to prepare them for painting. As I've never painted before I was planning on getting a car bodyshop or pro to this but I will prep them myself to keep costs down. Does anybody know how much preperation is required to do this job? I've been watching videos on how to strip them safely and methodically down to the bare faceplate so I'm just about up to there in my bonce. Do I need to sand them down? What primer should be used etc etc. I am also going to change all the lights to blue LED's and change the pitch sliders to those of a MK5 so there is no 0 ditch.
Any advice would be very warmly welcomed and I will post pics of the work in progress to completion. Thanks in adance! Top :banana:
