Awesome first attempt, I know "professional" bodyshops who would put out jobs looking worse than that.

oh and waterbased or celly ?

 

[Hutchie]

oh and waterbased or celly ?

neither, waterbased is a t**t to work with and celly is illegal

2 pack

 

[JCC]

What don't you like about waterbase?

 

[mx1_champ]

i prefer waterbase , get loadsa lacquer on it then polish the c**t of it , never really used 2pac apart from primer or celly .
and how are you supposed to use the stuff that halfords mix , i asked the ''expert '' who mixxed the paint for me and he said '' i dunno:O ''
i mixed it 50/50 with thinners and it was dull , like basecoat of waterbase
then another time i used it mixed it the same and it was nice and shiny :S
any idea'sas im normally used to waterbased .

looks good from the paint espically for a first attempt m8

 

[Hutchie]

primer is
2 parts primer
1 part activator
and a drop of thinners to make it sprayable

paint
3 parts paint
1 part thinners (you can increase thinners to make it more sprayable )

laquer
2 parts laquer
1 part activator
and a drop of thinners


and you cant really go wrong with that, each mix can alter a little bit with different colours and products but theres a rough idea

 

[kevin.s]

looks good mate. how did the mica lie with it being two pack. didn know they still made this stuff and would have thought that it wqs more illigal to use that celly based paint.

 

[Dan1510]

Good job buddy

 

[MrTrick]

Good effort fella!

Has anyone found any good guides to spraying car panels anywhere on the web?

I should be able to get my hands on a small air compressor quite cheaply and I really want to spray my engine bay to neaten it all up.

waterbase isn't a t**t to work with, it is much easier to paint then cellulose or 2k and offers a lot more benfits!

2k will also be made illegal once the unused stock runs out, due to the isosianates involed in the hardners

doesn't look like a bad job as far as you can tell from pictures
