You can get pearlescent from Halfrauds, but, you got to spray it all at once and be specially trained... I think

[Wideboy]

i trust nothing from chavfords plus they rip you off, i was flicking through samples in the local paint shop and found a nice maserati blue :p

I would recomment the colour of my car as it is very nice, but, I don't want your bike the same colour as my car, ha ha

Why not try "petronas teal"? (http://riviere67.free.fr/Championnes/FP/fp1_1.jpg) ha ha

[Wideboy]

Aye, and then you could get a nice set of white leathers with tassles on, then you'd look the biz :cool:

[sv_rory]

What paint have you used for this?

[Wideboy]

not used any paint yet, if you mean primer it was acid etch, ran it through the compressor though it wasnt aerosol

[sv_rory]

acid etch! :O

Really you wanted to use an adhesion prmoter then 2k primer, Upol do awesome products for that.

Etch is most commonly used and really best for aluminum parts.

Make sure the plastic was as smooth as glass and not "fluffy" from prep marks, the little fibres will lift through the paint.

[Wideboy]

i'v used u-pol before and thought the cans where crap, the nozzles drip and splutter that's why i went for tin rather than aerosol

[blueto]

Bright yellow so u can be seen numpty head

[sv_rory]

I'm not talking about aerosol


You get it to go through the gun.

Also the reason cans splatter is because the components inside aren,t mixed correctly and are under temperature.

I use and adhesion promoter from upol in an aerosol for small jobs, it allows 2k etc straight over. i'll get the name of it in a monent.

[sv_rory]

Here you go mate,

I've just popped down and luckily I have some bits here to show you.

heres a picture of the promoter, I use this in the bodyshop all day long for small jobs like bumper repairs and swear by it.

Heres the picture of the primer I use for pretty much everything.

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/sv_rory/BodyshopConsumables002.jpg

And also the hardner. This primer is a 4:1 ratio.

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/sv_rory/BodyshopConsumables003.jpg

These products are the best and I reccomend them to anybody.

[Wideboy]

tar, you know anything about them trying to ban cellulose paints, have they done it yet?

[TazDaz]

Do a chess board effect.

That'll look sweet and I know you've been making chess/draughts boards IIRC!

[sv_rory]

Basically solvent based paints are being replaced by water based.

its because of the isocynates if thats how you spell it.

Solvent based is still readily available over the counter from all suplliers I have used.

In my opinion water based is better for several reasons.

1, it is safer.
2, it lays better
3, a lot less chance of reaction as it is not solvent based and therefore will not react with any other paints on the panel.


Shops are allowed to use all there existing stock, one guy I was talking to has enough to supply the same amount of solvent paint as he reguarly sells for the next ten years or more!

On the tin you will have a sticker that states not for use in the automotive industry.

I will get a picture of a tin i have here to show you what i mean.

You are allowed to use it for classic restoration

[Wideboy]

ah nuts, yeah i heard i might have trouble getting my hands on some

[Dave20046]

I has some graphite solvent paint for sale ;)

Not all Solvent based paints contain Isocyanates, only those that are to be used in high temperature applications and do are in a resin type system.

Paints can also be set 'hard' by using a dilute organic peroxide, but, that is more professional paints then over the counter stuff.

If you need it that bad WB I can get my hands on some high quality paint that is used in aviation, just, can't be too fussy on colours as it is either white, blue or camo-green...

[Wideboy]

lol tar for over, i'm after a certain special colour but reckon im going to have trouble getting it over the counter. might only mix it for professional spray shops cos it cellulose

[maviczap]

I think we need to create a new section - Paint nerds & how to spray :p

Nice work though WB
