plastic primer promotes adhesion along with scan seal. plastic primering over laquer is not needed at all as its already been done previously to promote the current basecoat. just needs a wetflat or grey scotchbrite (if the finish is v good), basecoat and laquerin

if hes spraying over laquer why would he need plastic primer?

will work fine

im sure you could.. but wait a week? bout as productive as getting Loony to spray it lol

didnt know what they was doing. you aint gonna cover metal flakes by putting on coat after coat after coat, youd end up using about 10 litres of laquer, needs to be wet flatted after 2 or 3 coats to bring it level then laquered again for a finish

yes it matters, i spose if the metal flake is very fine (which i doubt it will be) it should be put in the laquer, otherwise if you put it in the basecoat its gonna be a very very uneven finish and just look a mess.

didnt think it was paint myself, ive sprayed a corsa before with a glitter finish. Basecoat Laquer with glitter in x2 2000 wet flat all over to level proud bits Laquer again with no glitter x 2 or 3 wet flat and mop to finish

ok once its in primer, wet flat the entire car with either P800/P1000 or P1200. The P800 will take less flatting as its more coarse but you may go through in the odd place n need to blow a little more primer on. once its all wet flatted, make sure its 100 % dry, get your airline down the door...

been painted before, s**t prep. gonna need basecoat and laquering again as i can guarantee, as soon as its had an airline blew on it most will come off. 100 quid for bumper painted

aint long got back from twicross zoo, was fuckin muddy as hell on the parking fields lol :\

lots of people give the basecoat (colour) a wet flat before laquer, but aslong as the finish looks ok and theres no bits of s**t in it, just wipre the basecoat so its dust free and bang the laquer on. laquer can be wet flatted if you have runs or bits of s**t, but you'll need a cutting...

in a way its good he was doing 110 mph, as said before by nik i think, his cat was hit at 30 and it suffered for hours, hit at 110mph, would have died instantly, no pain, nothing. sure poor cat rip and sorry to hear about your car dude, should be repairable though surely?

i dont think there is adjustment mate. i think the only way you can take that end of the bonnet up is to take the catch up a bit. 2 10 mil bolts i think, just undo them slightly, tap the catch up, retighten, that should bring the bonnet up.
