ReeceGolliker Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I'm spraying a jam lip and a pair of side skirts, how many cans will I need and where should I get the cans from? I've found some in halfords but I've heard bad things about it being a bit too cream? Also the parts are fibreglass, is standard wax and grease remover safe to use as ice read it isn't? Thanks for any help Quote
Ollieh17 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 id just get them done properly mate. rattle canned stuff never looks quite right in my opinion Quote
ReeceGolliker Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 The lip needs respraying pretty much every year so I'd rather spray it myself, and the skirts are just reps so if they're not perfect i don't mind too much, I've rattle canned some boys before and got a decent finish. Quote
Gainzy Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Do it properly some body shops add thinners to the 2k makes it shine better you need a few good coats to get it right Quote
ReeceGolliker Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 I'll get a few quotes for them then, I just want to avoid spending more on painting them than the skirts are worth. How much should I roughly be looking at for a pair of skirts and splitter if I prep them all up myself? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Could probably get them done for £100 cash in hand ida thought. Aersol cans plus primer lacquer and all that normally adds up too Quote
Glanza Mac Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Send them to get them done and fitted to your car aswel, anything goes wrong you take it back and they fix it free of charge for the same price :-) Rob. Quote
ReeceGolliker Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Do you know any places local that isn't too expensive? Quote
Gainzy Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Buy the paint separate to, get a good half a litre fibreglass absorbs the paint over little time so you want a good 3/4 coats across it super white 2 don't forget the 2 as there is 3 shades 2k pro spray. Quote
Glanza Mac Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Auto art isnt bad, panel and paint is top quality but comes at a price, A T autos did my wings and that was a good job and price Rob. Quote
ReeceGolliker Posted July 5, 2015 Author Posted July 5, 2015 Ok, I'll get a few prices! Cheers mate Quote
brad25577 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 i scratched my bumper and my paint code is 040, so we smoothed it off and brought the 040 halfords one, cant see the difference its a great colour, but still would only recommend for small jobs like what these guys have said. Quote
