hi bud what you painting?
a full respray mate on a corsa-c
a full respray
have you painted a panel before?
practice on a pannel first to ge the right pressure from the gun also the pattern,plenty of heat in this weather would go down well.
tom off topic you got a pin puller?
been doing panels with a spray can and they have come out really good so far.just dont know the pressure setting on a gun
a spray can. post some pics of motor. you could quite easily kill your car.
what you painting base n clear? or solid colour?
nobody in your area who will do you cheap self prep?
Get rid of the cans mate,not ideal for a respray they react very easy and not enough pressure
solid colours are alot easier to paint
Setting the pressure for a gun is on the actual gun itself if its decent
Id think about getting a water trap filterd onto the compressor hose
Better the prep better the paint job

best thing to do is use 2 pak paint as you dont need to laquer it just watch with the fuems as their carcanagenic
how come you dont have to laquer it?
If you are spraying 2k ( 2 Pack ) MS ( medium solid ) or HS ( high solid ) paints. Solid colours you achieve the gloss with what you are given without having to apply lacquer. If for example you were to spray metallic you would need to lacquer, the base coat (metalliic) is matt and you achieve the gloss by applying lacquer. Basicly lacquer is a clear solid.
However you can buy a solid colour as a base coat and then lacquer as you would a metallic. This cuts out the process of having to key the paint as if it was a solid which had already dried/cured. A lot of jap cars are done this way, Solid base coat then lacquer.
Points to also remember
Adequate heat
Ventillation
Face mask NOT the paper ones
Paper coveralls
what do you mean when you say key the paint?
Sand it down or scotch it off, roughs up the paint to key the surface for the new paint to stick too.
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
when you sand down the primer, what grade paper do you use? and do you rub it down dry or wet?
800 wet mate, then finish off with 1000 grade wet. Make sure you block it to get smoother finish rather using your hands.
thanx bud
what about if they are not with 2k paint?
exact same process, exept you have to laquer it..
How do u no how much thinners to use?
if your using a compressor and a propper gun then invest in a mixing stick.. It highlights all the amounts on that. there only pence mate

Depends on which paint and laquer make you using ? Some might be 2:1 10% or 3:1 20% etc, Read on the tin should tell you what hardener and thinners to use and what ratio.
buy mixing cups. as easier to use tells you mix on side.
what colour you painting? metallic? or solid colour?
im going to do both mate
