I am looking for a decent uk forum that is dedicated to painting cars.
I have painted a few times but would like to learn a lot more about it, I have allways went to the extent of rubbing down, etching, high build, paint, and lacquer of whole panels, but would like to get tips for quick blow overs and laquering without doing the whole panel. That type of thing.... I have allways used 2k but keep hearing bad stories about it, might try celly but dont know anything about it.
So in long, any good ones out there or tips from here? Thanks lads

 

celly is wank mate very old skool ,2k is what you need to use ,as for blowing half a panel ,i only ever do that on bumpers not worth it on anything else ,with standox fadeout thinners ,there are cheaper ones but i swear by that standox

 

Bloody I phone, how do I change title of the thread in the mobile site? Auto correct is pissing me off.

Yeah I thought it was, just been hearing so much crap about 2k. Yeah I ment bumpers, for a door etc I would fade into the next panel. The laquering a whole panel is a p.i.t.a essoecialky a rear quarter the runs up to the roof. Want to start using that fade out stuff, is it a whole kit or just the different thinners that is needed?
I am wanting to respray an mr2 I got just to bring it back to life rather than spraying bits and mopping the rest. Can I paint on top of laquer that has been keyed? And not use primer, really don't want to put lots if effort into the car.

 

When I say crap about 2k, I mean health issues.

 

Grantcos,yes you can paint straight on keyed laquer or any keyed surface.obviously if it's metallic you'll need basecoat and laquer which requires a bit more thinking but is easy enough.
On an old car beware of reactions with old shoddy paintwork,you can use a sealing coat to avoid this but obviously it's a bit more work/money.

 

As above really. But just to add, try not to cut through the old paint as that will cause more issues with reactions if you don't prime it
