Vai-Man Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 that plasticote works ok, did a whole van in it haha, im sure you would be able to rent a compreser and spray gun? correct me if im wrong. but if you have a garage or similalr just spray on a still day and roll it inside.

Spencer Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ^ the plasticote matty b looks like arse compared to tin shit wouldnt even bother. At least if you compressor it its sealed and you can wash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowgan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 gunning it is definatly the way to go, and every1 is bound to have a friend with either a compressor or access 2 one. or like me and mates that are spray painters=]. cans are for other peoples property, take pride in your own stuff.

Ke36 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've done a few bonnets and bits and pieces with aerosol cans and never had a problem other than colour match issues. yea nothing wrong with spray can paint as long as you use decent paint $5 dollar cans are never going to stick but as far as doing a whole car with them, fuck that, compressor all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Done my bumpers and some trim with those little $12 cans from supercheap. Colourmatch is crap, but otherwise looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 yea go spend money on propper paint my matty B cost around $200 but that was with 3l of paint, shitloads of thinners, primer and 10l of prepsol. Just paint it outside and push it in the shed will be fine unless its windy the results are a million times better than cans. Also just ask your paint shop how to mix it etc listen to this dude, his matty b jobs are 'teh sex' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 After using the paint gun compressor and tin paint, I'm never gonna use cans again if I can help it. Goes on so much better and is clearly harder wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 did entire old ae85 with a overdraft and repco cans turned out mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 if you dont want overspray then roll paint it with foam rollers, we use them for priming(not thinned) panels because it goes on real thick and covers everything then you can block it back later, never tryed it with paint but if you thin it 20% or so i dont see a problem and to get rid of can paint you simply wipe thinners over it and it bubbles up and you wipe it off (you need lots of rags) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
