Have you any advice on spraying to give.
Im due to do the front valance on my ERST and want to undertake it my self.

Really after stuff im gonna need.

 

ya mean the section beg=hind bumper?


what ya wanna know?

 

Indeed yeah..
Bumper is off, pics in Resto room.
SOme surface rust needs taking back and rubbing down on top where turbo heat has cracked paint but paint, thinners and laquar. What'll I need and thne ratios or is dependant on paint manufacturer

 

normally 2k primer is 5-1 with activator + 10 percent thinners


basecoat paint is 2-1 thinners

laquer 2-1 activator + 10 percent thinners


id get the panel gound down as much as poss in the rough areas treat then fill if ya want to if not load it up with primer to flat back for a good finish

all depends on how far your wanting to go m8

personally id cut the rust out and replace but a bit of surface can be sorted if done well

make sure you key the whole area off properly and panel wipe it to remove silicones etc etc

 

are you going to do the slam panel etc too?


same as above but naturally your aiming for a spot on finish so take ya time, getthe primer nice and flat ( spray bit black loosly over the primered area) as when start to flat it aids ya in knowing were ya have been and what is needed were

 

Thanks mate.

 

One last Q, what would be the best way to blow in to the two front wing joints??

 

best way is to backtape the edges to save getting that paintline across the wing tops

or you could tape up the verticle bit inside the wing edge and just paint the flat bit

all can look good if flatted back and moped up well afterwards
