October 14, 200817 yr Author comment_281489 hey mate you gonna be painting the bay yourself? Hey Luc Me and a couple of other helpful hands are going to do the prep and priming but seeing as the colour i chose is metallic, i will probably enlist the help of a pro to actually spray Unless Mick is feeling up to the challenge? :wink: Report

Yeah the body will be pro sprayed when i save up the coin and get to that stage on the list And the colour is only available in acrylic unfortunatly, I would have preferred 2 pak Report

So you can put a 2pak clear over an acrylic? i got told you couldn't but the guy wasn't too sure Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_281518 don't believe what some people say, i got told to put an acrylic hardener over my enamel paint aye, idiot haha, but yea you spray a crear hardener over it and she is solid as bruh, 2 pac you will find is extremely toxic i think you will find and you need like a full body suit or something like that to paint it. but yea do it yourself, sprayed my entire car with spray cans and it turned out great even though i did absolutely 0 prep, if i did it would have been perfect, i used the cheapest of cheap cans from bunnings haha, i don't recconmend it though unless you want to spend extra prep time and don't want a mad finish like you get with acrylic.

October 14, 200817 yr comment_281519 So you can put a 2pak clear over an acrylic? i got told you couldn't but the guy wasn't too sure definately! my car is an acrylic basecoat with a dupont oe8000 2pac clear coat! the basecoat coulour being acrylic makes it really easy to put on! once that is perfect put about 3 coats of clear! buff and it'll perfection! glassy mirror type finish! alot easier than tyrying to use 2pac for the colour straight up!

October 14, 200817 yr Author comment_281520 Yeah i'm pretty much going for a nice clean streeter (a couple of pegs below show car) so i definatly wont be spraying the body myself I know you have to put a clear over the acrylic and if i can put a 2 pak clear on then it will be much stronger, however i want to be sure the 2 pak thing can be done before we do it Cheers - Andrew Report
