[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 217667, member: 4617"] The side covers are ABS as McGovern61 mentions, and if the paint is still intact, wet sand with 600 grit, scuff with a grey scotch brite pad, rubbing alcohol to clean and degrease - rubbing alcohol does not build up any static, tack cloth, use a sandable primer - two coats, wet sand with 800/1000 grit, clean once more with rubbing alcohol, tack cloth, then paint. Just did a lot of ABS painting, repainted my 1500, it's all ABS. If you have to do ABS repair(s) on the side covers, take the affected area down to the ABS structure - remove all paint. Do the repair with ABS cement, let sit for at least a day to cure and flash. Sand the area smooth, use an adhesion promoter on the affected area, two coats of sandable primer, wet sand with 800/1000 grit, use a finishing filler if required to build the area up to level with the rest of the panel, let cure for at least a day, sand smooth, two light coats of sandable primer - wet sand again, clean with rubbing alcohol, tack cloth, then paint. The area that is not affected and has the original finish only needs a wet sand with 600 grit, scuff with grey scotch brite pad, clean with rubbing alcohol, tack cloth, then paint entire panel. When you are going to use sandable primer, you can prime the entire panel, but you have to ensure the area of the panel not affected by a repair or such is sanded once before the first coat of primer is applied with 600 grit, wet or dry. If there are cracks, these have to be fixed or the crack will show in the new finished product. Missed one on my 1500, but no ones going to get that close. Seems like a lot but it isn't - just time consuming. Good prep work never goes unrewarded. [/QUOTE]
