87creepin Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Where do you guys get gun wash from, and is it cheaper/better than thinners for cleaning out your guns? also I don’t have a gun wash machine soo would an old steel pot suffice? I currently just clean parts off in a mixing cup but reckon the paint pots need a good soak. About paint pots, do any of you use the disposable type? I’m thinking about getting these https://www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/product/sagola-dpc400-paint-cup-kit-400ml-different-grades-available-ptdpc-400-125-ptdpc-400-190/ as they’re name brand and cheapest on that website. Aliex do them too but it’s always a risk with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I get 20L at a time from PBS, last a long time as you don't need all that much. About 80bucks I have an old stainless steel sink. That drains into the previous 20L container Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmulally Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I didn't know gun wash was a thing so I'll have to check it out. I just buy my thinners in bulk and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Yeah it's just low grade thinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positive Ape Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 In semi-related paint-barry chat i have an expensive Legend house paint brush that got gummed up with water based paint+insufficient cleaning+years of storage I bought some resene brush cleaner which is toluene i think. Maybe the same as gun wash? i soaked the brush in that for a while and it’s brought it back to life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hey all, does anyone have any tips for prepping and spraying textured interior plastic? I've been looking on YouTube and most of the videos seem to talk about smoothing it out first and are aimed at exterior parts like bumpers and door handles. This is what I'm working with: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87creepin Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 A light scuff with a fine/superfine scuff pad might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmulally Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I'd scrub it with a nail brush first and paint it with a couple of light dustings with no primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmulally Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I'm about to get the landy vapour blasted as it has too much bog and house paint on it. It has been an eternity since I have painted a car in bare metal and I'm not sure I have ever done alloy panels. Is Epotec primer still a thing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used epotec 408 on some panel repairs to the Defender cos its all I had a the time and its still sticking. Think @nzstato had some fancy aluminium primer for his? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
