Panel beater spray painter (qualified 25 yrs in the game ) . You've learnt a lot in your six yrs Soop . Heres the FACTS . Acrylic is as Soop has mentioned , CRAP , it never hardens an moves all the time no matter how old it is , sure you can slap sum good old 2pac straight over it if you wish , but mark my words "it wont last !!" if u live in the snowy mountins you might get 6-10 yrs out of it , but if you live up here in good ol sunny QLD , like i do :spot on: ud be cracken , peelin , blistering in 5 yrs . 2pac is a chemical reaction once its hard , ITS HARD, nuthin will touch it , brake fluid , accetone , thinners ( an i dont give a damn wht type you use IT WONT TOUCH IT ) only two things will , battery acid (long term exposure ) and paint stripper ,well 3 , sand paper wont do it any good either . Number one rule DO NOT i repeat DO NOT put acrylic over 2pac , it wont stick it'll just peel off , period . If you are going to recoat with 2pac ( even over 2pac ) an you wanna pristine finish thats gunna last u a life time STRIP IT anything else is just PISSING in the wind ( otherwords you are wasting your time ) . Now for the record . The last of the holdens paint in the good ol AIR dry acrylics was the eary commodore VB-VH from then on in holden used Dulux Rapide , now for those of you who dont know it is actually an " Acrylic Urethane Enamel " thats right , three in one ( tricky stuff to i can tell you ) it ran a 10:1 ratio and didnt last long , they phased it out during the release of the VR , where they switched to full 2pac . And consiquently Dulux dropped it like a hot spud ( holden copped a stack of paint warranty claims ) oooohhhhh i could go on all day . But thats the facts fellas , thats why half u blokes with ya VK-VR's think ya rides are painted in acrylic or was that 2pac er hang on it may have been enamel :rofl2::rofl2:
