large cloth to cover them. This will stop paint from spoiling the interior of the car or any areas
that you wish to keep clean. Use masking tape to cover lights, trims, and other small accesso-
ries on the golf cart. Make sure the car is free from dust before priming.
Step Four - Apply Primer
Take a suitable aerosol primer and apply a good layer of primer to the car. Try to apply even-
ly. Allow the primer to dry and add another coat if needed. Some golf cars do not require a
primer before painting because the materials used to color them can be painted over. It is
best to use primer regardless if you are not sure what materials have already been used.
Once dry, a primer should be sanded down with P1000 grit paper. The cart should be cleared
of dust before moving on to painting.
Step Five - Apply Paint
Apply paint to the golf car using an aerosol in the appropriate color, working from top to bot-
tom. Use light and even strokes and ensure that each application crosses over the previous
one to avoid striping. Allow the paint to dry and add up to two more layers, depending on
the coverage qualities of the
paint.
Step Six - Apply Clear Coat
Protector
If you are using a metallic sol-
vent-based color, apply a two
coat of clear coat over the en-
tire golf car. This will provide
an extra protective barrier
and will bring the color to an
effective shine. The cart can
now be put back into regular
service.
