BenGTI:
they will need to be rubbed down to take the texture away, they will they be primed and finished with paint. It can be done loads of people have had it done including myself. Its best to get a professional to do it though.

Dalejones:
Can someone write a step for step guide for me so I can prep them myself inc grades of sandpaper? Il prep them myself

WolfsburgEd:
Not really necessary to remove the texturing - I did a mk4 4-motion front spoiler.

Degrease / clean thoroughly
Plastic primer
Hi-build primer - multiple coats to suit (light sand inbetween coats to remove imperfections if necesasry)
Top coat
Lacquer

(depends on how much time / space you have and the quality of finish you want!)

Dalejones:
Ok il give this a go!

cuprajake:
you want to be using a grit around 240 or 320 by hand, then use adhesion promotor, high build primer, flat that smooth with 800 by hand ready for paint,

using a da machine your going to need different grades of paper
