Backing White

[Hordsak]

Hey guys. I'm getting ready to paint a Blazer body blue and white similar to these ones. I've never used white on any lexan body I've panited yet, and I want to make sure I don't screw it up. What is the best colour to back the white with? Should I spray the white first, then blue? I'd like to back it with black once I'm all done, but I'm worried it will darken the white, or will alot of coats help this? Thanks guys!

spray the blue first then back with white

satin silver

Spray the blue first. Then 2-3 coats of white and then back it with Faskolor Satin Silver ...also back the blue with it silver before spraying the white. then back everything with black

I wish it was mine. Unfortunately, I'll have to settle trying to make a replica hehe!

If you didn't paint it yet...everything I've heard points to silver backing on white. Generally you shoot darkest to lightest, and as long as you back your white with something like silver, you should be good to go with the final backing of black.

I too am a huge fan of the 80's bodystyle blazers...

If you HAVE painted it...post a pic!

I have painted it, but I tried for a Maroon. I'm going to get another body to try the Hawaiian blue.
