Hi all. Are there any decent aerosol primer and top coats available to do things like under body parts, wishbones, track controll arms, anti roll bars etc. Just looking to do a few jobs on my xr3i and rs turbo whilst I'm stuck at home. I will shot blast before painting

 

Halfords paints are good value for money ive found paint doesnt seem like water witch is what you seem to get from most places now like

 

ok thanks. I'll have a look latet

 

If you can find a proper automotive paint supply place that is open they can make you up things like 2k in spray tins, it is much harder paint but you do need an air mask which may be hard to get.

 

ok great. Thanks for that 👍🏽

 

I painted this back bumper with a can from eBay,

 

Good job, have you got a lot of painting experience?

was it the whole bumper?

 

If you've done a bit of painting (Spray) in the past, you can get a good finish with a decent aerosol, but the quality of the finish is very much down to preparation prior to putting on any paint.

Once sprayed, don't be tempted to start rushing the finishing process, have the patience to leave it until it's fully cured and you can go over it with an ultra fine wet and dry (1600) prior to polishing it with something slightly abrasive such as Autoglym Polish.

There is a knack to it, and some practice is needed, plenty of YouTube videos about getting a good finish with an Aerosol.

 

I painted a little in the past, but only ever diy,and yes full bumper, I didn’t flat the lacquer either just left it for a week and polished it with medium cut compound on the da

 

fairplay does look a good finish
