painting engine bays

bout 300 for 4L or you can ask for it to be mixed in with your tin of black so it will just be add hardner and reducer and off you go.

just remember that any huge bits of **** that land on the panels cant be buffed out.
most wont be seen that bad but if theyre huge the panel willl need to be done again

so wait! would this also work on metallic green, that is meant to be COB?

i.e. mix in the matte agent, mix hardner with it and off i go? sorry for all the stupid q's

 

[wildss]

lay base down, add matting agent to clear @ 2:1/50% then add hardner and reducer and shes good to go

 

[ari666]

yeah so i still need to get the basecoat right k. back to the drawing board.

 

[wildss]

just use slow thinners, lay it on heavy but not heavy enough to run and once its covered mist over the top till it looks right. sit back and watch the metallic settle and go from there.

my main fear of doing the metallic is i need to do the whole car all in one go to get the colour right on every panel, but a car that size and in my small garage, im sure to f'k something up, for example get to the last coat of clear and have the air hose rub a panel (which has happened before) with a solid colour it wouldnt really bother me you just hit some more on it and block back the lump once its dry, but with a COB it'd mean pretty much going back to the start.
