pm jacko , im sure he can give you some advice ,

beef

 

i know mate i dont like to bother him all the time lol.

 

if your skint you,ll get a respray kit of radiant red in any good paintshop containing 5 litres of 2k colour , 2.5 litres of hardener and a gallon of thinners .

that,ll do the job

 

does it shine nice

 

will this be any good?

as above just use striaght colour rather than dicking about with base and clear, its cheaper to buy 2k straight colour and a lot easier to use!! lierally just needs a half coat then a full coat with most or you can do 2 full coats if u wanted. Most paints you usually add 1% thinner to make it flow a bit better too.

Also need to make sure ur using a semi decent spray gun and spraying from 2 - 2.5bar normally but check with the paint supplier first!

 

celly is ok to use but doesnt really get used much these days and i've never bothered with it!!

 

i only want to paint in my boot and the floor as i will prob get the rest done prperley

 

im in the same position atm, sorry to hijack your thread a bit, but i was thinking of using Hammerite smooth to do the inside of my car, anyone tryed this? would it be better to use a primer first or just throw it on as is?

cheers

 

errrrr hamerite might aswell use stonechip

 

if its just for the boot floor just use the respray kit , will probably the cheapest option and as for shine you could paint the full car with it no problem as its good stuff .

but for resprays a always use base and clear but again just matter of opinion as is a dearer method but means you cover your back if any shit lands on the job or that , u can just give it a scuff and recoat it so its all perfect for clearcoat .

 

just get a 2k high solids paint and ask for all the other stuff you need they will know exactly what you need to go with it

 

how much will i need dave? oh buy the way i found that loom al pop it up some time next week

 

is this 2k solid easy to paint?

 

will it look like this with just 2k solid

 

Yeah theres no reason why not.

If its for the inside only youmight be better off asking for any mismatched reds, sometimesthey keep colours they have screwed up when mixing and these can be bought very cheap.
