Hi
I have been doing some spray painting before using cans and was thinking in moving to a spray gun and compressor as I really like painting and me and my brother have a few things needing spraying.
It will be mainly bumpers and no nothing bigger than a bonnet. I have done some research into what to use and have a shop that sells quite a big selection. I just want some advice on whether I have chosen the correct products and any tips on painting.
The bonnet I plan to paint has a couple of small dents on it. I plan to:
1. Strip paint around dent
2. Fill dent using filler
3. Etch primer using, Mipa 1k Etch Primer, just the bare metal
4. Prime and flat whole bonnet with HMG Synthetic High Build Primer
5. Paint bonnet using the paint here, it's a solid colour.
Bumper:
1. Prime whole bumper with same primer
2. Flat primer.
3. Basecoat with same paint but the metallic one
4. Clear coat - U-POL 1k Clear Coat or HGM 1K Cleat Coat. Which one?
Will I get any reaction with etch over paint? The guide on here say it will but some say that they haven't got any by dusting it on.
Also what are the advantages of priming the whole panel rather than priming the parts needed and then basecoat the whole panel?
