Thanks.
1. First = Plastic primer. about 0,1 liter then you wait 10 minutes.
2. 2k of sandedprimer. about 0,6-0,7 liter. Next day between sand with water. sanded until the surface is smooth.

3.Thick black paint http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=000258265540.jpg about 0.6 liter

I am not a polished surface
All paints were Debeer automotive paints. Dewillbiss painted parts with a spray gun.
