Car Paint

[sky017]

hey guys im after some propper paint which would be used to spray the outside of our cars , but which id be using for doing some interior painting for plastics.

does anybody know where i could buy paint in sydney i can use in my spray gun with my compressor?

and how much id be looking at spending per litre - for silver.

thanks

cost will depend on whether you get 2pack or accrylic. will probably be about $30-$40 a litre. then you will also need thinners.

if you have never painted before, go to the wreckers and buy an old boot or something to practise on first.

what would be better to get ? - the accrylic or 2 pack? and the thinners - are you saying i need it for cleaning purposes or does it need to be mixed with the paint for drying the paint faster etc?

im good with the gun spraying and stuff , iv been doing it for a while . im just not to good with the paint differences

any informantion given would be much appreciated for when i go and buy it i know what im buying and know what im doing.

thanks

yeah i have heard the same thing - al lot of factors i need to take into consideration.

but im after a pure finish as if a proffesional was doing it.

ah man i want the genuine stuff . im spraying some skirts and a lip and also my dash console . so i need the good stuff . although if i were to buy it from a car paint shop - wouldnt it be pre mixed and ready to spray , or would it just be the bass - and need other things mixed to it . cause i just wanna buy it and walk away with out any trouble if you understand.
