Any advice would b greatfull

Im going 2 paint some parts in my engine bay, ive had them lightly vapor blasted,

wanna give them a really good finish but as i haven painted anythin b4 havent got a clue where 2 start n how, lol

i take it i will have 2 use a primer, then paint followed by lacquer, but is there any processes i will need 2 do, like sandin in between coats?

Cheers jay

 

what are you painting? the rocker cover? manifold?

what ever it is you need high temperature paint. normal paint wont work

 

nope im paintin my inlet n plenum, my throttle bracket n a couple of other bits

 

well dont hold can in one place, use primer first and let it all dry properly before you put color on to it and the same for the laquer.

as said dont hold can in one place, spray from about 10-15 cm away in sweeping smooth motions left to right. fully cover with a coat of primer let it dry for a good 6 hours then you need to use really fine wet and dry and give the paint a key for the next coat. then use color, let it dry, give it a key then laquer. you can buff down the laquer to give it a nicer shine after too.
