DIY Re-Painting

[Ken Abraham]

Hi again listers,   I have been very slowly trying to organise a 'quality' respray - it will cost about $2K. Realistically, the whole car is not worth $2,000, even with 12 months rego and a full tank of fuel!   So I have decided, for a laugh, to have a go myself. Can any one offer any hints?   What are the differences between Acrylic Laquer and 2 pack enamel paints? What type of compressor and spray gun do I need, CFM rating etc.. What is the difference between all the primers, i.e etch, surfacer, filler??? What temperature do you need to 'bake' 2 Pack enamel.   The car is painted a particular colour (scarlet) that is not standard. I like it and would like to repaint it the same colour. I can get the paint colour matched, but is there a colour chart or something so I can check that it is not a standard colour for another type of car?   Thanks heaps, Nick   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
