Spraying With Metalics

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

hi all, im spraying an old car soon, and im trying to decide what to do it in.

id like to spray the car in metallic silver, but ive heard metallic can be a bantered to paint with, because the metallic fibers change direction, which can result in a uneven paint???

so its making me want to spray with a solid colour, which i can do, but id really like to do the silver, since the engine bay, jambs etc are silver already.

does anyone have any tips on using metallic paint? how should i spray differently to solid paints?

pretty sure the process is much the same , just remember your final metallic coat you cant sand. So you have to take extra care n your final coat to get it as perfect as possible

The trick I read somewhere was to spray clear on your final metallic coat while its still tacky let it dry, then another coat of clear and then you can sand again..

I ahve used this method to spray my dash (metallic charcoal) and my cam covers (metallic silver) and they have come up pretty sweet.
