Here's a better writeup for ya darryl

1. gave the bar a scrub up with 800grit sandpaper, then 2000.
2. give the bar a wipe with prepsol to get the excess grease/dirt off.
3. hit the bar with a good couple coats of undercoat, 3 should be fine with 15mins between coats
4. spray on the colour, allowing 15mins between coats.
5. sprayed the bar with high-temp clear coat.

I used the wrinkle paint for both the strut bar & cam cover, and due to the bad weather, turned out crap. your best off doing this on a nice sunny day with little to no wind around...

Im going to be re-doing mine again in about a months time, but this time in a dark metallic grey & also putting the turtle cover on & respraying it, & putting a nice mazda wings badge on when I receive it

Cheers
Marc
