does anybody know of any sites that give a detailed description on how to re-spray your car. like prep work and techniques used. or if anyone has every done their own car, can they let me know how it turned out and how they went about doing it. i've already got the air compressor and a ventilated room to do it in, but i need to know mre detailed info, like time between coats and number of coats or colour and clear etc... thanks -------------------- Suppose you could eat a banana if you wanted but it doesnt really have the same effect........ :-)

1. Strip your car. If your doing a color change, strip interior, engine bay, everything. Take out glass, the works. |

[quote]use sikkens or one of the leading refinishes. Cup the paint from any where between 18-22 seconds. The heat can be a piss off because in summer the paint can dry before youve finished the pannel ask the paint shop in your area to suggest the best thinner. if you happend to use bog never use too much hardner! coz it will bleed through and your finish will be bloody crap! :twisted: [color=green][/color] |

We used 2pak on mine, and yes, it does need an oven. Usually to bake overnight. Also, most of those steps were used on my car, I worked out the refinements in my head. If your at aspley tonight, I'll show you what happens if you don't let undercoat dry properly. |

Baked mine at a gentle rising temp, which reached 52 degrees overnight. By the time the doors were opened in the morning, it was back to room temp. So, it goes up then down overnight. |

I wanna re-spray my car in another colour. white at the moment. the new colour will be a coluor taht is already on cars at the moment, but does it cost much more to customis a colour (make it lighter / darker)????? ok then. i got a swift 2 door gti (just for size purposes) front kit side skirts and will be getting back kit. car will be straight as possible. i want the entire outside painted, not engine bay (don't wanna touch engine) and the inside of the doors etc. i am prepared to straip most of the car like door panels and carpet around doors, and also sand car back and use a little bod on some minor dents. i'll need some advice on how far back to sand but if i can get the car pretty much sanded back ready to paint, and i'll tape up the windows etc...when i give you the car, how much would i be looking at???? price on.....me sanding car/striping car you painting.....???

You can get shit paint and good paint. Oh, please go and speak to these guys: http://www.houseofkolor.com and get some funky color from them. I'd love to see one of their "large metallic" chunks in a white car with silver pearl....mmmmm. I reckon they got pretty good paint, and you get what you pay for. |
