Maz, you can draw a profile on some cardboard accurately & get a decent sheet metal shop to bend it out of .8 mm panel steel mate. It will make a lot better job of it. & yes someone had to say that half of the Rares holden repro patches are absolutely shit ! There's a fair few repro products from different companies, that need to be brought up in quality that's for sure & that's very common talk. Please no more bloody colour coded engine bays, surely they've been done to death. The original black to me really suits them. Gary.

[madtoranajzedded]

Yeah. she was all bent up other side really bad Gaz where its spotted to the bottom.

Im going to ask a couple guys i know if
They have a lhs guard thats buggered at
front but bottom is good..

I want to do bay in satin but i dont think
i can as its spose to be ..well not easy to
paint..me having stuff all experience
(Near zilch) in the plenum area it was
chataeu mauve but didnt look like it had
clear on it..how the hell did they spray it
in there..im thinking of just putting
Por15 like Jase said and use por15 top coat
thats in a can...can youget chateau mauve in
a solid color in 2 pack so i could paint it?

You can get gun extension nozzles to spray in the plenum area Jase

[grumpy xu1]

Chatue is a metallic colour not a solid. You can buy very small gravity fed spray guns about a 150 ml pot size, ask at your paint shop maz. The thing to check is the fan size the more adjustment the better, probably cost around $120 mate. Gary. Ps make sure that you use 2 pack epoxy etch in there too.

[madtoranajzedded]

Cool ill have a geezer Gene..thanks

Yeah i know its metalic Gazza.just wanted to
Know if could get in solid color so its
easier to paint.im a very long way off
doing the body .if i can get it in solid i

Maz, why can you not paint a metallic colour in there, but you can a solid ? I'll break it down for you mate.

(1) prep & apply epoxy etch primer & let it dry. Use weld through primer where the welds are going to be run, approximately 20 mm wide same size as you masking tape width, brands like roberlo ect you can epoxy over it around the edges,

(2) rub it down & prep for any style of paint & obviously mask it off. 3 mix the 2 pack metalic chatue base coat, apply 3 wet coats 20 minute flash times & then 3 wet coats of clear & let it dry for 2 days. Or mix up some 2 pack solid black & apply 3 wet coats and allow to dry for 2 days. Put the idea of solid chatue out of your head it's like saying i have a potato but i want it to be a tomato has anyone seen a potato turn into a tomato ? It's totally different paint.

(3) When you go to the paint shop you can get some flattening base mixed in with the black say 25 % mixed volume & you decant the amount of colour you need after stiring,add the hardener stir it & then add the thinners & re stir & you're good to go my friend, Simples

[grumpy xu1]

Ps everywhere you use that flap wheel will require the use of filler or lead ect to smoothen it to make it not visible after paint. Gary

[madtoranajzedded]

Honestly Maz, that's probably a candy or special effects colour, great if you want to never drive it & rebuild it every time a new look comes along. New chatue looks pretty smart and similar. The major difference between solid & metalic is the solid requires 3 coats all up & the metalic requires 3 of base coat & 3 of clear. The hardest part of the metalic, is laying the metalic particles properly, you need to be able atomise them evenly that's what makes it look great. Gary.

How long do you have to wait to rub back
some areas. i cleaned and cleaned and
cleaned before priming and still some
aluminium oxide has came out from
somewhere when i rotated it.

What grade dry sandpaper should i use guys..

240-320?

Cheers maz

[madtoranajzedded]

Tidied up a few areas in the bay where the aluminium oxide blew onto a panel when
priming ..found where it was coming from.
was in the rotisserie ends and the bit i
fabbed up to bonnet latch.blew some out and
taped it up

Looks heaps better now.  20170326_160454.jpg   543.3K   6 downloads
