cpo overlay over textured paint on trackball mount plate
« on: October 02, 2013, 11:12:44 pm »
I have a trackball mounting plate with the heavily textured factory paint finish.  I am putting a cpo from gameongrafix over it.  will the overlay go smoothly over the painted surface or should I sand that paint smooth?  the top of the plate is exactly flush with the top of the wood cp surface.

Almost any underlying texture will probably show through the vinyl.

Sand it.

Sand it, skim coat the whole panel with bondo and then sand it again.

Thanks guys, I sanded the texture off last night.  I'm also using tee nuts to hold the undermounted sticks and I bondo'd over those as well.
