hey, just wondering if someone could help me out?
i wanna spray my engine bay cause its a shit dirty grey/silver colour,
i want to do it all my self, a mate said to use oven cleaner to clean it all up, then i give it a light sand back, i want to paint it satin black
will i need a prima or something?
how much paint should i buy?
whats the best technique to use?
i have done spraying before, but i got no idea how to prep it right, or where to get the stuff from
all so how much paint does it take to spray a whole car, without bonnet but with door wells included?
cheers
go to motormate buy some prepsol/prepwash. get a green scourer from the kitchen use soap and water and scourer and scrub every single inch of the engine bay. onceits dry (blow off with air blower or rag dry) use a clean rag prepsol and go over the whole area with it use a primer surfacer or watever primer you like then paint!
Pfft, just give it a good clean with degreaser. spray it all down with a high pressure hose and then dry it all up.
Tape up everything u dont want to paint.
Grab 2 cans of primer, spray it up!
Grab 2 cans of good paint (with anti rust), and spray away.
Then sit back and admire.
Total cost $20.
And for the people who laugh at the cheapness on my 'ghetto engine bay paint job'... i'd say the pictures are prof enuff.
*BEFORE:
*Puttin on the primer:
*And finally the paint. (out of spray cans).
It was so easy and cheap, i decided to do the rest of the car as well
Theres the results on a cheap easy ghetto paint job. Now go get sum spray cans!
dam that thing looks good.
did u use a high pressure hose for the whole car??
makes me wanna do mine to my bonnet
i painted the rolla and my tuff lux with acrylic paint and a $99 supercheap compressor and spray gun.. ha ha ha..el cheapo.. but it looks better than what it was!
I was spraying a bodykit the other day, same thing, got very tempted to spray the whole car.
Car looks good dude
