He's rattle caning it.

Why didn't you post it up in the thread you started the other day?

 

[GeorgeH]

Ah so he is, I remember the other thread. Why 2 threads? Confusing me! Your coming along fast.

 

[Captain Clio]

The Colour is Carmen Red Renault paint code 719

 

[Captain Clio]

Sorry about the new thread still new to all this, as for the other questions. Yes I'm using rattle cans I had a batch of about 13 made up along with lacquer, whet the whole car is done I'll wait about 3 weeks then start to flat back a bit.

 

[LiamR172]

What size are the 13 cans?

Looks alright for rattle cans so far

oh my :O

 

[DanEdser]

That's quite a lot of orange peel :/

 

[Kieran..]

He wil be flattening it back for ages! Lol

 

[Scoot]

Why would anyone rattle can a car? I would rather my paint be absolutely fucked than drive around in something that has been rattle canned.

 

[Captain Clio]

There might be orange peel now but I will be buffing the car with an industrial buffer this will get rid of the orange peel effect and bring a good shine and smoothness to the body but I have to wait about a 1-2 weeks for the paint to cure and harden.

 

[Jon.G]

How long did you spend prepping the paint?

 

[Alastair.]

Somebody on detailing world painted there car with a paint brush, looked mint once he had flatend it all back and machined it up.

 

[Knuckles]

Looks good so far

Sweet Jesus lol! Link?

i remember reading about someone rattle canning a 225 matt black lol. Everyone praised him

 

[Mr Plums]

Its all experience, when he flattens it then polishes it up, it might look half decent if he doesnt rush and hasnt got paint all over any plastics, BACK TYRES etc.

Its not as though its a veyron he is rattle canning lol.

Probably would have been cheaper to bring the paint back up with a machine polish mind.

I was thinking more like a floor buffer to bring the paint back up . But he done a good job with the can ,

 

[Captain Clio]

LOL funny you should say that because that's what I'm going to use next week. The reason I've used cans is because when I bought the Clio it was all in primer and since I'm on a budget using cans was my only option, I would have preferred to have had a proper respray done but alas I can't afford it.

 

[1991renaultsport]

Hats off to you mate! I would of done it but fair play mate.. Fair play!

Not everyone has money to throw around though.

And when its flatted and buffed, the finish will most probably be the same - prep dependant of course.
