Painting flushmount

[Ander]

So I got an OEM flushmount yesterday from a guy parting out his cb.

I was curious what kind of paint other people have used to paint it.
As well as what kind of prep work you did.

I'm just a bit unsure since it's that foamy shiz.

i sanded mine's down with a DA and 180 grit, this thing had 5 coats of paint and big cracks
sand down the paint then go over with 320grit and finalise with 60
theres adhesives and glues you can use for the cracking, but eventually it will crack again

do your best, if it doesnt work out you can buy a fiberglass copy and never have problems

Any updates?
If I where you i would just get the oem color made up in a single stage pint

do not use a spray can because i painted mine flat black and the guy that did my paint job said it was a b#!#ch to take out the spray can color.
