Maz90 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have used normal paint on my last 2 cars and its been fine.Just give it a good few coats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriswoodfto Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 cool. ill give that a go then, might put down a base coat of some heat resistant stuff then the candy red on top, thatd help a little bit i reckon, what primer and top coat should i use??

Dan_SV Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 use a heat proof primer, spray your normal paint over that the finish with a heat proof lacquer. that should protect the paint from the heat. opinion is divided on this subject, some people can and do just use normal paint and never have any trouble, but i've known this to blister and react badly to the heat. i would always recommend using the method i mentioned, just so you have some form of protection.

chriswoodfto Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 thats cool mate, if its sandwichd between heatproof primer and laquer then it should be fine, thanks guys, will get some pics up when its all done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_SV Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 that ain't me dude. don't get over to york that much (even tho its 15 mins away) trying to keep the car under wraps til its finished! i know a lass that lives near me who works in york, she may know who it is. as for the paint i'm sure there will be somewhere that sells it in tins. maybe try a smaller car place?sorry i can't be more of a help!

Russleh Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 quick question lol how is powdercoatin for dealing with heat ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_SV Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 ^^^honestly dude? i have no idea!!! have had a quick look through TGTT and a lot of people have used a powder coated rocker cover so my guess is that it would stand up to the heat pretty well, but that is only a guess :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A few coats and some laquer is fine bro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
