Hi All, I am looking at painting my zuk. I have done a few repair jobs in the past but have never tackled painting a whole car. If any one can offer any advice, tips or tricks it would be most appreciated, and I'm sure a few others will benifit also. Also any good online suppliers as in Nth Qld the local auto shop is a bit light in parts and a bit heavy on price. Thanks |

* if you are doing a repair always use primer over the repair !! * painting metallic ?? always wet rub the car with a fine grade abbrassive like 800 wet and dry (but obviously wet) * prepsol the surface before you paint it, it gets rid of all the shit from your fingers and use a lint free towell to do it as it will collect loose dust etc * make sure u do the little parts that fold under the guards cuz otherwise it will look stupid. * to make stickytape stick... give the area a quick clean and prepsol. * if its shiny. its not ready to paint. if its an even dull sort of texture. go for it. * the way your job looks will more reflect on the prepwork than anything else so make sure its good. * when your painting MOVE YOUR BODY !!, dont think that you have to stand in one spot like a robot. * for large areas eg. roof, bonnet. paint them half at a time. * make sure you always have even air pressure and its not going up and down. if i think of anything else ill let u know dude. |
