Tom, if you mean those small aerosol cans or brush-on touch up paint you get from a car dealer then as long as the stuff can get onto the car without causing the spot you are painting to create condensation just from the temp of the paint compared to the temp of the metal, then you'll be ok.
I’m a total amateur with paint. It’s about 30 degrees where I live and I don’t have a garage. I was able to use my brother in laws garage for about 10 hours. I used some touch up paint and clear coat for my truck door sills. It was down to the primer so I wanted to protect it from rust.
Hello, I am kinda of new to paint but not entirely new to using a gun as I cerakote frequently and have sprayed out primers many times with full size guns. I have a few touch up guns being a astro pneumatic and a few iwatas with 0.8 tips.
The original paint is still on the bumper but with just chunks missing in the center as well as a small crack. I had purchased car color code matched spray paint/rattle cans (base and mid pearl coat) from a local paint shop to attempt this learning process myself.
When something like that "lifts" or "Wrinkles" it is because the solvents from your paint are getting UNDER the edges of the paint or primer, in this case because you have sanded thru the clear and paint TO the primer, it is lifting because it has gotten under the paint. I have found myself in the booth MANY times in the same boat over the years.
Slightly overfill the chip so that the new paint sits a little higher than the original surface, but does not extend beyond the damage across the surface. Then polish down to level. The only preparation necessary is to wash well and flush any polish out with a solid application of Prepsol. Chris. Top.
So that's 10 panels, 80 oz. of RTS per coat, 3 coats would be 240 oz. One gallon of paint gives you 256 oz. leaving enough paint left over to cover one panel with 2 coats. An extra pint would give Avanti 48 extra oz. of RTS for future repairs, enough for 3 coats on two panels. An extra quart would provide 80 extra oz.
so your saying to get a gallon of paint. with the hok reduced i'll end up with 1.5 gallons of paint. that seems like alot for the small amount of metal i have. the last guy said 3quarts of mixed paint. right? so that means 2 quarts of the hok bc26 and 1 quart of reducer.
I am new to the whole DIY primer and paint for vehicles. Here is the equipment that I used. Earlex 5000 painting station w/ a 2.0 fluid tip. 1 quart of Evercoat Featherfill G2 - Buff I read over how to use the Earlex painting system and the primer. I must say that for a 1st timer I was a little worried.
a delamination with it on any of my customers cars. Urethane has been the strongest paint I have ever used. I even painted my boat and trailer with urethane and it has been incredible when it comes to durability. The stuff is tougher than anything I've used. Any paint that comes in a can and doesn't use activator ( a 1K paint relies on air drying)
