dixes boys redline build (guess the cost of the build)

<< < (6/8) > >>

bobafett i spent 30 quid on plastic coat

1 tin primer
2 tins of spray white (you only need one can
1 tin of lacuer

so yep ive gone the long way around :-[ but now ive found a system that works and i can use it for other stuff aswell

so i got the gun for 39.99 with 1 can of hammerite smooth in with it worth 14.99


it was already primed and coated with the plastic coat it was sound so i went over the top with the hammerite

its much better than rattlecan spraying  ;)
very shiney
not orange peel effect

but not quite as smooth as powder coat !

just wet and dry the frame down
wipe it over with meths
wash it all over with soapy water
let it dry really good
wipe it over with a tac cloth ,tac rag
hoover all around where your going to spray it
 if i was you i would use a hammerite primer  for  a basecoat 1 tin
then spray the top coat  1 tin

im sure you will like it :4_17_5:
i wouldnt do a crap job for my lad ;)
i could have car sprayed it i have the equipment but this is more hardwearing  imo :)
