Who needs an expensive spray room

<< < (4/7) > >>

adeshere, did you use rattle cans or a proper spray gun? Also, did you have to cut back any layers or t-cut etc. Whenever I spray items, they come out quite good but the slightest knock and the paint is off. Never seems to have a hard surface to the paint when I do it? They have come out mint mate, good work fella.

adeshere:
I first took a file and wet'n'dry to the pedals to smooth the edges out and re-shape them a bit. I then cleaned them up. I then left them in the house before i sprayed them to let them warm up a bit as in the shed they get so cold.

I then hung them up and sprayed tehm first white. Got to make sure you dont put too much on at once uotherwise you get theose annoying drips !.

I gave them two coats of white and then about 4 coats of blue before a final coat of clear lacure

adeshere:
I used good old spray cans

This is what they allowed me to create

mivvi:
Top job on the pedals and the bike mate. Thanks for the info on the painting. Its nice to know you can get a finish like that with just cans! Im off to find my DXs then!  :D 

adeshere:
Using my spray room !!!  meant there was no wind blowing the paint everywhere so i had more control on where it was going.

I closed the box (technical stuff this) when i finished to stop general dust and grime getting onto the paint before it dried
