  1. 1

    Sanding

    Sand the surface you are going to paint, this makes the paint adhere better. It is usually adequate to use P180. Sanding paper that is too rough can scratch the surface. Wipe off sanding dust with a microfiber cloth.

    Mask

    Mask your desired pattern with tape. Use a high-quality tape that adheres well to the substrate, and you will get sharp paint edges.
