degrease the seat really well

then don't touch it with your fingers!!

spray on the plastic primer
then some 2k primer
then some 2k white acrylic

then stick it somewhere warm for a few days to bake it on good. in the airing cupboard!

 ;D  i can understand if it's a rare seat that's like rocking horse poo to get in any colour?? or if you require a custom job like the silver one.

But if it's a bog standard seat in white?  sell the lavendar (or keep for another build) and buy a white one??   :daumenhoch:

That black shotgun came out superb though i have to say!!
