Might be spraying my front diamond tommorow. Going to spray it black but dont no weather to do it matt black or gloss black?

what are peoples opinions? The cars Titanium btw.

Also, i'll just need, sand paper (what grade??), primer, paint and laquer? that correct?

Cheers

depends on what else you have on your car, what the colour scheme is
i think gloss black looks good
you do need primer and lacquer as well as paint but i dont know what grade sand paper something fine just to finely rough the surface to make the paint key better.

at the moment this will be the first mod. However, the plan is to get the car looking like this eventually:

i think that looks pretty cool but i think people on here will slate it!

wont need laquer

matt black is matt, laquer will just send it to gloss finish

primer aint essential for something so small tbh. just give it a scuff up with pretty much anything over p320 (p320/p400/p600/p800/p1000/p1200) and just spray it, will be fine

your wheels look glossy black so id probably go for satin/gloss finish

Gloss! Matt will look a bit like you're missing your badges on yours.

That photoshop looks ace mate, wheels/ height really suits it!

i said gloss so thats why i said you need lacquer

 

[Final Maxim]

never seen anyone spray laquer over gloss paint myself

 

[AlexG]

black paint with laquer over it to give a glossy finish

 

[Final Maxim]

thats what im getting it, gloss black already has the glossy finish without applying laquer

 

[AlexG]

:dapprove: ok then

 

[Final Maxim]

nutter lol

 

[AlexG]

lol oright then how about he gets some matt black paint and an can of lacquer! he can spray it matt see how it looks then if he wants it more glossy he can use the lacquer then we will both be happy! hooray:rasp:

 

[Pint]

LOL you guys! LMAO

the wheels when i get them will prob be powder coated matt black tbh. not decided yet as they are a way off

I had heard you could get a laquer for a matt finish which is why i asked. lol
ooo im still un decided lol. will have to have a ganders at the paints i guess. hate makin decisions like this!

Thanks for the comments on the PS too.
Pep, hpefully when she's all done and created you'll see her in the flesh just like that

 

[AlexG]

just do lots of photoshops of matt vs. gloss and see what you like best and post them on here and we will give our opinion at what we think would look good.

I think how it is mate!! Sorted that way! Ive just refurbed my mates alloys with him this week, didnt pay attention to what grades we had but we used around 4 diffrent types a bit of checmical metal to fill gaps, 4+ primer coats, then roughly the same with the paint (contains laqur) they looked brand new Very jealous soo have to doo mine now!!
Ill try find out the grades and let you no
