Re: Auto Painting Questions
Resporator? no no no, you want to be seeing the pretty colors while you are painting, keeps mind on something...lol.
oh, ya, pretaining to the question
well i havnet done any body work, but i have parinted fiberglass enclosures with car quality finish.
1. Rough up the fiberglass with 150 grit.
2. Rub down with Tack Cloth, Bondo makes everything...lol
3. Coat of Primer, not just any primer, the color and texture of the primer will affect color coat.
4. Sand with 220grit to get any un-even spots out.
5. Rub with tack cloth
6. Another coat of primer
7. repeat 3-4 untill it gives a primer coat so smooth you almost dont want to ruin it with color.
8. Coat of Color
9. Sand lightly any imperfections
10. Rub with tack cloth
11. Coat of color
12. Refer to 9
13. Last coat of color in your average job, take your time, how this coats determines what your job will look like except for the gloss.
14. very light sanding making it look as good as possible. all clear is going to do is make it glossy. wet sanding with a grit in the 300's is best.
15. Tack cloth
16. First coat of clear, not too heavy, fast, 50/50 spray.
17. sand lightly
18. refer to 15
19. 2nd coat of clear, a little heavyer than the first, but not super heavy, this is your real clear coat.
20. remove imperfections with wet sanding
21. refer to 15
22. Last coat of clear, mainly to remove imperfections, fast and light.
23. wet sand with very high grit. im talking in the 600's or higher. untill you get it smooth as a baby's ass and no runs or cat eyes.
24. buff the shine, ya, you know it, work it...work it.
26. Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off.
your finished. woohoo.
