spraying and painting metallic - teach me
Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2013 9:20 am
Hi guys,
i have kind of touched on this subject in the VOC forums, as small rust bubbles are comming up from under the paint, the metal work feels solid still, the paint not so much. i have smeared grease on this to cease its progression.
Im teaching myself the painting process - at the same time trying to achieve a qulaity job for as little as possible.
firstly i want to know is a rattle can just as good as a spray up with a spray gun?
secondly what is the paint process with the spray gun? so far i figure you need several guns or a gun that takes several nozzles, im really not sure what size nozzles i need for each stage is there a definitive list of the bare essential equipment i need?
third, what is the best paint process? so far i figure its
rub down to bare metal in the area i want to correct/respray
mask off any areas that i dont want any paint
wet n dry with 3000 grit and wipe clean
then put on a wet coat - what is this? just water?
put on a primer (is it just one coat?)
put on the first coat of paint, giving a 50% overlap
leave to dry and correct any mistakes or runs
second layer of paint
then 2 layers of laquer
have i got my methodology right? also with metallic paint are there any things to look out for over spraying a solid colour?
my paint code is 327
im saving to get a devilbliss startingline kit or a gun with several different size nozzles - have you guys got any recommendations on sprayguns and metallic painting techniques? much appreciated
