NewGuy Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 First off for the cracks I personally would strip all the bog out then use a hammer n dolly to try an get it straight as possible then do a skim of bog on the whole dent area then block sand it back. Yes you can just sand the clear then prime over.To get rid of pin-holes in the bog try mixing the hardner/bog differently, try "fold" it rather than swirl it around Hmmmm, ill see what i can do, yea i swirl mix it, ill try fold it in etc and see how i get on i hate pinholes. How should i go down thru the grades of grit when sanding the bog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenger79 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 try better bog.avoid evercoat,turbo etc...cheap shit use say 36 up to 100grit to get the bog semi-shaped.then use 120 to 200grit to shape,prime,wet sand with 400,paint have you got a sander of some sort,or are you doing it by hand??

cute wee gem Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 First tin of bog I got was Turbo, at the time I thought it was great untill I got K&H Toucan which I use now and is only 10 bucks or so more for a big tin Yeah same deal here, I usually use 40 then 120-150 then prime, Is wet sanding primer better or what?, I've always just dry sanded it..

snake Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Im going to be painting one of my front guards that ive had to do abit of welding and panelling on. Ill be buying my own paint gun and am wanting to spend around $350-400. Any advice on what i should get/ things to look out for etc? I dont really know much about this kinda stuff chur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Just go with something branded. I have a Devillbiss GTI (non-hvlp) and that cost me 450, and I love it especially compared to any other gun I've used except for a Sata something.. which was 1000+ Sata and Devillbiss are damn good brands, a few others I know of are Binks and Iwata, Avenger said Welmade are good guns, which are cheaper I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Could you be a little more specific man Seriously i dont know alot about this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Ok, what I meant was if you get a proper brand then you can't really go wrong, as there are alot of cheap knock-offs. Are you only painting a guard or do you plan to do alot of work with this gun later on?, whole cars etc, or just touch ups/1 panel type jobs?

snake Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Im planning on just the guard and if it comes out alright ill do more. I want to do everything on my car but painting the whole thing might be abit beyond me. cheers for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Just get a cheap gun then, no point wasting 400 bucks on something your hardly going to use IMO, get a gravity fed gun (with the cup on the top rather than hanging off it) as I rekon they are much better to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenger79 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 ^^agreed......but for home use id get a suction(paint tin on botom) gun.there cheaper,easier to clean and easy to fill with paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draizuh Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Painted the back bumper of my car today, was pretty stoked with the results, will try do the front on monday. Basically ruffed it up with some 80 grit. cleaned with wax and grease remover. sprayed on some of shit plastic adhesive shit which makes it stick better, primered then painted. it haad aa few drips (was a spray can job) but came out looking pretty sweet i feel. Ive got a few small rust spots around the hatch and in the door area i want to see to. any one got any reccomendatins on a easy way to get at it, if/what rust killer i should use, bog etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 i wouldnt reccommend using a rust killer/converter, id grind/cut all the disease out, then bog/weld as required, that way its never going to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 never use super cheap rust killer/protection when my roof was in bare metal i sprayed that all over it then tried to prime over it and the primer just flaked off so i had to go over the roof again and get all that shit off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'd also cut it out, but if you have to use POR15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
