Hmm. Good mask you got there. lol
Looks a good job.
I hope your not using 2pack paint with that mask lol
Thanks for your comment. All in all it was a great day and iv got loads done. I can say iv sprayed the base coat on today and will be spraying the lacquer on tomorrow. Pictures will follow.
Iv sprayed the teeth on my grill because iv had custom made aluminium grill to replace it so there was no harm in it.
Only problem iv had is the mask. Im sitting here and my heads spinning lol. It was 2pack aswell. Iv never sprayed car befor and didnt realise it was that strong. Im gonna go hire a stronger mask for the lacquer tomorrow because that dose stick
Anyway im off for a bath and out to the pub. Will post the progress tomorrow.
Its a wonder your not dead lol
Im sure 2pack penetrates through bare skin, your supposed to wear an air fed mask, and a complete suit. :eek::eek:
yeh im surprised your not dead! i was in a full suit and air fed mask when i sprayed at my dads

i dont want 2 piss on yer campfire..........but are ya not supposed 2 laquer just after u've painted the basecoat???
im not an expert but i thought thats teh way ya went about it so that the laquer doesnt end up peeling off in weeks/months after its all nicely painted
shoot me if im wrong though
you should get a Aerosle (like in Lynx and all that) Mask - you are using a dist mask that keeps out dust...
looks like a good job! keep it up! :D
Just got up and will be starting in hour or so. I have got a propper masks this time. No the laquer is the last coat you put 2-3 layers on.

Leave the basecoat till its completly dry. dont leave it over night or it will peel off. In a booth we leave it for 10 mins or so because there is a constant air flow of 25c.
Dont forget your drop coat with your basecoat or it will end up like a patchwork quilt.

or if you have left it over night, give it a quick duster with thinners and leave for 20-30mins
yeh i gave it a quick dust.
Laquers going on now so it had a good 19hours to dry.
you seemed to have forgotten to take the kit off the car and binning it before spraying it
