Location: Invercargill  | Re: Sanding and bogging a spoiler for painting How bad is it cracked? Is the crack in the paint or plastic? Does it really need bogged? Fire a guide coat on it, knock it back a little bit and see where the high or low spote are. It may just need a high build primer which you can then sand to flatten it off.

Location: Invercargill | Re: Sanding and bogging a spoiler for painting How stable is the paint and crack? I'd get started on something like 400 if the paint is dodgy, or higher if you just want to key the paint for the primer. Is the crack going to move much? If it is, the bog will just drop out down the track. Maybe some resin in it would help, not sure, I have both here anyways if required.
