Ants Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Do you flat and polish your panels after you've painted them Ants? It is a bit of extra work, but I find when using rattle cans it is essential to getting a really high quality finish. Not too necessary with white, but still makes it look a lot better.In most cases I would, however because the panels that have painted are not really going to be visible I did not bother. If it was going to be like a spoiler or bumper yes, although I rather give it to my local smash repairer for that pro finish I would like to invest in an a good quality air compressor though and then maybe open a restoration business for Skylines 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/27/#findComment-7252233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a spray setup with a compressor and guns, but I only use it on larger panels or panels where I need to paint match. If I'm spraying a small object from my car black or anything that doesn't need to match my white, then I prefer spraying with a rattle can then flatting and polishing. The paint is cheaper and it takes less time than setting up the guns, mixing paint, then cleaning everything after Nice idea, you definitely have the patience and eye for detail to do that sort of work!
