rattle can paint job

Post by **shakes** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 6:02 pm

why? because it's cheap quick and easy.

Further down the track however if I do decide I want semi-nice paint(even though it's very unlikely).... will my tight-arsedness now come back to bite me and I'll have to take the car back to bare metal to get anything to stick??

10 x satin black cans = $70 (K+H not no name stuff

)

cheap cheap cashy with me masking/stripping everything = $700

so anyway... will this effect anything down the track ?

If you are willing to strip it back down to bare metal then no it wont really affect anything. Even if the cheapy paint reacts with the old paint then you can still strip it back down to bare metal.

Painting's all about preparation, spend the time to prep the surface to be painted and the results will be much better, if you choose to respray down the track will be much easier to rub back and respray.

Of course using enamel on enamel or acrylic on acrylic etc is a good start!

That's true, 100% agreed, but if it's only going to be rolled, dented and scratched next drive out then why spend all that time and effort? You'll feel better about damaging it later too.

Yes, DON'T do it

Stop being a retard

Wash it.
Scuff it.
Mask it.
Wax & Grease remover.
Air compressor and cheap spray gun.
Industrial HammerTone paint. (it hides all of the imperfections).

Done.

Seriously though, i resprayed my old MK ute for $300. Most of the cost was for preperation tools/consumables.

kennards - hire a compressor and gun!
but then again bought a gun other day for $25 at bunnings, only for painting trailer and outdoor furniture. Compressor was only $150

Post by **shakes** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 7:40 pm

cool cool, you've just talked me into buying a compressor.

Something I "need" anyway.

next question. whats the basic procedure for rubbing back a car. What grit sand paper etc as I am completly clueless on this kind of thing.

From what I can tell acrylic is the easiest and safest to spray at home. How many litres would I need roughly for a range rover ute? and all the other noob questions that I cant find with a search that brings up 10000 pages with not much info on it.

Or even better give me some links with some good info on it.

Try those. No offence to anybody, but your best bet is probably the www as opposed to OL.

Best of luck at getting those guns for $200 champ

Well, you can come and paint my 180B for nothing, then i'll post up a whole thread "Painting Your Car - For Dummies".

please.....

you prep it...if your in Melb I can swing by and give you some tips. You do all the prep and i'll be more than happy to gun the car at your place.

You can cut most of the dust out of 2k Solid, where as COB you can't really do much in that sense.

I was just stirring mate

. I wouldn't do that to you! Whent the time comes, it'll just be a "good from far" paint job as its never going to be in showcar condition.

Its got two jam jobs on the original paint (not from me), so its going to be a 2L Selleys paint stripper job.

The hardest part of it all.....what colour do you paint your car!!!! At the moment its bright canary yellow (still has the circuit racing stickers and sh1t all over it). I was thinking plain white, or maybe a colour off a new falcadore. Who knows.

180b's need to be a really bright candy red

or baby poo brown. (or killrust matt green like mine is)
