Spay Finishes

[Guest daymatty]

Just resprayed my bonnet and wondered if anyone had suggestion for good quality lacquers for topcoat.

[Guest 1 FAT PUG]

you shoulnt need to laquer it if its a not metallic

you can get a better quality thinners for the topcoat paint, it will be a 2k laquer wont it.??

if so i hope you wear a mask as this stuff can and has killed people

it has got cyonide in it (if thats how you spell it )

[Guest ears]

It depends on what paint you have used for the colour coat, you can not really say without know what you have already done,

[Guest daymatty]

Sorry, The bonnet has been sprayed with Graphitte grey metallic.

[Guest whitey 205]

Have you painted it with basecoat and not yet laquered it? Any 2pk laquer will give a good finish if mixed and sprayed well.Should really be laquered within 10 mins depending on air temp.

Well, base coat can be lacquered once it is touch dry (dries very quickly) , but i don't think that it matters if u leave it a little while, as long as you tack rage and apnel wipe before lacquering.

 

Some lacquers are better than others, Pro-Spray stuff is OK for quickness (no thinner required) but we often use PPG D800 which is nice stuff and not bad price.

there are 2 types of paints with hardner (apart from cellulose which i hope you ain't using) the first and most common type for a flat colour has no need for a laquer top coat... as it is with the paint, you just need to buff the spray, maybe use a 1500 grade or 1200 sandpaper with water to clear any unwanted insects etc. then buff it. if the paint you gave it needs laquer, just sand down the paint with 1000-1500 grade paper with water then spray the laquer ( max mayer are good for example) than the same applies like the first paint i mentioned.
