Yes did a drop coat the metallic were standing before i cleared. I put on 3 decent coats of clear. Im gonna do the front bumper today which is in grey primer will be interesting to see if there is any difference in colour. To the wing
Does it matters what colour primer is used when applying basecoat? Will it change the basecoat colour slightly if you you sprayed on black primer to say grey or white primer?
ive just finished painting a wing and bonnet on my car which was a new from eurocarparts which had the factory black...

Have you used bumpers from eurocarpart? Do they come primed...
Thanks guy. I knew the bonnet was primed as buti get the thinners trick cant quite tell with this. Im not sure if it's bare plastic or not but the inside of the bumper looks like a different texture to the outside, the outside is much smoother so im guessing its primer.
I might get a can of...
Just wanted to ask if anyone knows of the aftermarket front bumpers from Euro carparts are primed and also can i just scuff it and hit with basecoat without putting additional primer on the black coat it comes in? It looks smooth and i think its primer, is there anyway to find out? Heard rubbing...
I did see that one but this is where i get confused because thats not sae30 its iso32 whatever that means, but the 4 stoke lawnmower one is sae30? And thats what is recommended on the front plate of the compressor. Where do you guys buy your air compressor sae30 oil from
Hi i have a belt driven clarke se16c150 and im struggling to find oil for it.
On the pump plate it says to use sae30.
Is petrol lawnmowers sae30 oil the same as air compressor oil? Also struggling to find one with no detergent oil too. Would this be ok to use from Toolstation its 4 stroke...
Thats good to know its normal to have oily water. I will look to replace the rubber washer in the inspec glass but if it still leaks do i just replace the whole inspection glass? anyone know if i could use a generic one of ebay or does it need to be clarke (machine mart)? Thanks also how long...
Hi bought a second hand compressor when i picked it up there wasnt any oil in the compressor i think its leaking down from the inspection glass as i could see a little run of oil under the glass and also when i drained the tank of air underneath there was a bit of water and i think bit of oil...
Pressure is normally set to around 2.5bar which should be fine. I think i will try thinning to 10%. Thanks. Just waiting for my gazebo to arrive in the post as im spraying outside and too many flies not ideal.
Thats cool. So sand all painted areas down with 800 and fire away. Also im getting lot of orange peel in my clear. Any idea what i can do to reduce it. I used 2k acrylic lacquer 2:1 with no thinners as the instructions doesnt say to add any thinners, do you think i should add around 20%...
Im spraying a bumper using waterbased basecoat and going to finish off with 2k clear over it.
I sprayed my base coat 3 days ago and didn't spray the clear on it as i got a few runs and bit of crap in the base coat i needed to sort out first.
So after sanding out the runs my plan is to spray...
Ok so sprayed my bonnet and front bumper. Bonnets came out fine need to cut and buff the orange peel.
i ended up getting few runs or reaction in the base coat in the bumper and didn't bother lacquering the bumper at all. so my question is ive wet sanded the runs off with 600grit
1. can i...
That makes sense so your not actually bonding directly to plastic but to the expoxy primer.
I cant find lecher 29107 on. Can you point me where i can get it online?
Just looking into buying some dolphin glaze to repair stone chips and scratches and one seller has told me you cant put this directly on plastic bumpers is that correct?
