automotive painting?
Hi how are you all today?
um does anyone know how much paint would i need to use if i decided on painting my car, i’ve got an mitsubishi cordia
its a pretty old sports coupe , it almost looks like the old TRD Lancia but with a diffrent back end and front end, anyway
im not sure what type of paint i need?
i heard some paint arent really suitable for the DIY because they can really make you sick because of the toxins etc
Down my local auto store they sell acrylic paint in 2ltr cans, how much thinner do i need ,is it a 50/50 mix?
and another thing what type of compressor would i need to do the whole job in one go, i thought of buying a compressor but dont want to pay a fortune, maybe hiring one is the best way to go…anyway can any of you guys out there help me out, thanx have a great day…
I’d go with at least a gallon and judging by the way you ask the ?I would practice on something other than my car before I did the car itself.now everyone is going to have their own opinons here but,myself,I learned by doing it until I got it right . And by doing it my way I won lots of compententions,,mainly on paint jobs on Tour Buses for some of the worlds best known stars.
As far as the thinner I never used the same mixture,it seemed to go by the temp.what i did stay constant with was LOTS of Hardener.the compressure,couldn’t tell you the size,I did the paint for a buddy who owned a Diesel Repair shop and pulled off the main.JUST KEEP THE WATER OUT!!!!and before you apply the paint wash the body down with wool-lite
