Subject: RE:Paint/autobody: Anybody here do their own work? by skirlin on 2008/1/23 16:21:54 This is an excellent thread. I have painted dozens of cars using pearls, candies, and metallics. My first car was my mothers which was...light silver which came out ok and I have gone from there. I haven't painted a car since the late 80's and the info on the HPLV is great. I am hoping to paint my vette next year and will be doing some practice jobs on my other vehicles. I had a buddy who wanted me to spray his Nova with a medium blue metallic, he said he would do all prep work and all I had to do was lay on the color. The greatest painter using the most expensive paint will not make a lick of difference unless the prep work is good. His was not good and I told him to work some more and he said it's ready, just paint it. Wow, how many coats would it take to fill 100 grit scratches. Genius is in the detail, you can do it. |
