spray painting over powder coat???

<< < (2/3) > >>

meticulous:
dont use 1 pack laquar as the finish is crap, get someone to do 2 pack, it lasts ages and the finish is spot on,you will need someone with a spray gun and compressor to do this, like me :daumenhoch:

Philbert:
you can get a good finish with canned laquer. just look at lazarous frame i did.

easy process, spray the laquer on in fine coats, to avoid any running. you'll end up with quite a rough finish but eventually an even spread. then with 2000 grit wet and dry paper flat down the laquer to provide a smooth finish then polish with t-cut, or pretty much any other car polish to be honest.

can't be asred to find the thread but it is titled 'is there no end to his talents' posted by lazarou about 3 weeks ago if you search for it

thats the problem with acrilic laquar you have to polish it like mad to get a ok finish, then you run the risk of polishing through the laquar onto the base coat, eventually it will dull off again, lots of hard work :'(
