Night Fury Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 That price also includes sandpaper(which I'll have plenty left over), a can trigger(also may use again for asst projects eventually), and 1000 sqft of plastic dropcloth which I will FOR SURE use in the future, I only used about 200sqft.

white4d96 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hm, seems a lot lighter than I remember. Mine was a darker metallic blue IIRC. Looks good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Fury Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 It's 'done'. I'm not super satisfied with the results, I would've had to get like 10 more cans of blue to make it not splotchy. Very hard to blend. Regardless, I got clear on it, and after a buffing it should look pretty darn decent. I'll buff tomorrow. I do have a few pics as it sits now, I'll post them in a half hour or so.

GnatGoSplat Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Well, I can't say it looks good, but at least it's all one color, more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I actually kinda like the effect. The color did darken up like I remembered it as well. Now if only I could paint mine that colour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Can you buy Rustoleum by the gallon? I've read on other forums that people have good results using this thing: http://www.harborfreight.com/high-volume-low-pressure-spray-gun-kit-44677.html  I've read the secret is to use more reducer than the paint calls for, because for some reason these turbine type HVLP setups need more reducer than air compressor+HVLP gun.

slick Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Looks about like I expected. Â Looks like you started and stopped spraying while on top of the panel. Key to no blotches and dark spots it to have continuous, even spray the whole length. Start and stop before you even touch the panel and after you've passed the panel. Yes, you waste paint. But looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 ^^even with HVLP guns, that's the way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_mezz Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Metalics are tough to work with, solids you can just keep laying it on till it's uniform. Did you wind up using 7 cans of clear too? When I did my door I wanted to make sure I had enough on there that I could compound it down a little later on so I did 4 color + 4 clear.

Breakdown Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I just noticed something. Â Is that the actual colour of those rims, they look spray-bombed. Â Plus, they shouldn't be that colour, on that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I love it and wish it was cleared and smooth at the same time. The gold has to stay!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
