[satanic]

Going to hit up the car shops this afternoon when I get off work... Praying for Gold paint, but if not I will get Red.

Will pick up 10 cans of Gold if there is a supply

[d00dz]

cool.. dont forget break cleaner! for every car

[satanic]

Man, get your own brake cleaner

I'm only gettin' paint for everyone, otherwise I'll have tonnes of stuff on a credit card (too high a risk sorry)

[d00dz]

oh yeh.. lol.. forgot u were getting 100000$ of stuff..

ill see what I can do

[Shado34]

hey all,

sounds like an interesting event

just a few stupid questions. Are the paints spray paint based or brush on?

Do u need a special gloss type coating to apply after?

Last question does anyone know how hard or easy it will be to get a nice result, ie from exp?

tnx

[satanic]

This is what I've been told you need (things you apply)

1) Brake Cleaner

2) Hi Temp Caliper Paint

3) Hi Temp Laquer

That will give it the glossed/anodized look you are after and will make it last a long time.

As for all the other stuff, it's pretty obvious: sandpaper, newspaper, masking tape, bla blah blah

Paints and Laquer are in a can, so spray. I don't think it'd work too well with a brush unless you were an artist to begin with

[Wink]

Maybe someone can lend me their laquer and cleaner.

Sounds like a good time will be had by all but I don't recommend VHT at all after using it a couple of different applications, both baked on and left to dry normally. Even using clear coat it ended up looking crap.

try the Holts though featured here

[d00dz]

LETS CRUISE NOW.. since we cant get it and VHT is shit..

We need to get some "dupticolor" stuff

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=73794&st=100# <--thats better

[satanic]

OK we're still trying to get paint... if this turns to shit by midnight tonight (when all stores close I think) we'll cruise instead.

No point getting everyone out with all the equipment if only 1 person has paint I'm p'eed off!

[Shado34]

did u try calling auto one they apparently stock duticolor,

ill head up to the wiatara one and check

[satanic]
