hi, depends how much effort  you want to put into it. i would take it back to the primer, remember to grind back to metal where the gog work is poor etc.... then put two pack primer over it.
you can put  2pack over acrylic. 
 
some people  say certain  things etc,,,  that you can do this or put that over that or use this with that.  but my brother  knows a lot more than i do. , and has mixed up certain  hardners, thinners etc   with very good results.
 
 
 
 
he`ll be back  on 15 th jan. so if u want email me with any more questions then,  and i`ll get him to answer you.
 
he works as a spray painter at bruce lellman crash repairs, here in renmark

well the body is pretty close to perfect, it has just been repainted. i.e. the guy i bought it off had painted it and then he sold it to me. The paint is just not perfect, looks burnt and scuffed in places etc. Hard to explain.
 
Anyway, it has a proper coat of acrylic, solid midnight blue from ford...which is actually purple. So i would have to go back to primer to do 2pak right? i mean i couldn't paint 2 pak over the acrylic paint?
 
cheers again mate

hi, if you go to 2pak u dont  have to go back to bare metal, in fact u can use 2pak straight over acrylic primer.  its better if u use 2 pak primer as well, cause it fills  a heck of alot better than acrylic primer etc.... all u have to do is grind back any body work that has crows feet, lifting  body filler, flacking paint etc.....  i am not too sure on the price on 2 pack primer, but i think that its about 150-200 dollars for 4 litres including hardner, but depends alot on brand.
 as for how  much it would all cost depends onb the condition of car. large  tin of body filler is around 35-45 dollars, then you have paper etc...
 use 36 grit  to get a decent shape of bog, then go over  it with 80 or 120 dry rub then put primer over that.
i use a longboard with the 36 grit on that.

hi, i would use around 400-600  wet`n dry.  if its  too smooth the paint wont stick  properly.  my brother  has gone away for holidays , and he would have a pretty good idea of whats wot.  if you still need info  he`ll be back on 16th  jan.
  acrylic is getting a bit old hat now,  you are better off using 2-pack.  e.g protec 604 paint..

does anyone here know much about paintint a 1600?
 
my paint is new but quite rough.
 
i am thinking of doing an acrylic job, well getting someone to spray it for me.
 
If i did the prep work which is just sanding back the car with 800 wet and dry to take the shine off.......i'm guessing that is all...please tell me if i am wrong, How much should i pay for the labour and paint....assuming that i don't use a booth?
 
How much should i pay for paint?
I was told it was group 4 paint and thus expensive....it is a ford midnight blue that i am doing......any help is appreciated guys.
 
regards
