If you want to paint over existing auto paint, the first thing you need to do is clean the surface. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Once the surface is clean, you need to sand it. Use a fine-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the surface. This will help the new paint to adhere to the surface. If there are any areas that are chipped or flaking, you will need to remove the old paint before you can paint over it.
No, acrylic car paint does not need a hardener.
Acrylic paint does not need clear coat, but it can help protect the paint and make it last longer.
After painting a car, you need to wait for the paint to cure before driving the car. Depending on the paint, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

With a Fujispray G-XP and M model HVLP gun, I'm using them. The 6oz and 28oz systems are mine. This evaluation pertains to the 6oz.PROS: It's fantastic that the gun won't leak when you tip it in any direction. The disadvantages outlined below are therefore mainly minor annoyances.Compared to a standard cup, cleanup is simpler.No longer does material back up into the pressure tube!The built-in filters are convenient because they eliminate the need to strain the content.Although it's convenient to store food for a short period of time in disposable cups, stirring it later is practically impossible.MyCONS: For the spraying I do, 6oz is a little tiny. They may be a little bit bigger (8 or 10oz). The 28oz size is the only alternative option for the H/O model cups, and it is uncomfortable and taxing on the wrist.Since you have to remove the pressure tube and allow the material to drain from the cannon into the cup, replenishing during a job is a little more challenging than refilling a conventional cup. If not, it would be a messy tangle of drips.

The item seemed to live up to all expectations. I'm pretty happy with it thus far. The only issue I've had with it is that part of it got on the front grill's matte-finished plastic. That area has acquired a greyish white hue. I'm not sure if it will wear off or if it can be washed off. However, I would prefer for it to have its original black finish.

The TCP mixing cup will allow you to put 32oz into the cup and still have room to stir without spilling. My previous cups that I have been using are 32oz at the rim, the most I could actually blend is 29oz and I'd have to stir slowly and carefully to prevent spilling. Now I can combine 34oz (30oz 3oz 1oz) of my catalyzed lacquer in the cup and not worry about stirring.As others have remarked the cups can be tough to remove from each other in the stack of 25 that they come as. If you grab the cup on different sides and pull carefully to relieve the vacuum they always come out. The individual who mentioned they utilized compressed air definitely has a good idea, I'm going to try it.The lids that came with them don't actually fit real secure. I would be terrified to knock a full cup over with a lid on it and expect it to stay sealed.I placed some of my cleaning thinner into a cup and put a lid on it. I let it sit for 3 days. There was an ever so small weakening of the cup but absolutely nothing that I would worry about. I use an acid catalyzed conversion varnish and that rested in the cup for nearly 6 hours and had no impact on the cup. It appears like you can let the lacquer dry hard and then use compressed air to blow out the dried finish and reuse the cup. Generally I use a 2 cups for the day if I'm only spraying a single color or clear. The first cup gets combined and is used to feed the spray pump. The second cup is used to keep mixing new batches to fill up the cup feeding the spray pump.I don't use the ratio indicators on the cup, simply the ounce marks. I wish they were marked at ever ounce instead of even ounces. I normally combine in 5 ounce portions, so 5, 10, 15, 20....... So there will be a little amount of guesswork for the in between markers, I don't think that will be a problem.These cups are roughly 1/2 the cost of the cups I had been using. the 74 cent cups I have been using are significantly sturdier and the lids fit very snug and secure. I rarely use lids.I've just used one cup so far and it has performed as well as the cups I have been using. They are bigger and that's a plus, they are less expensive and much more clear so I can see the contents easily. I think they will work well.

These are not paint stir sticks, I realized after reading the reviews. Therefore, I had a pretty good idea before I bought. They are only common wooden sticks. roughly the size and appearance of a ruler. Because it isn't what it is described as, I deducted one point but still gave it a 4. As evident from reviews of other products, not just mine. However, I needed it and knew exactly what I was buying when I made the transaction. One star is deducted only for the product's false information. Despite knowing this, I still purchased it since I needed it to repair some structural damage to my wall. So all I needed was some timber to support some dry wall. I therefore based my decisions for this product on the customers. Not the item itself, but it was still what I needed, thus I'm satisfied. Simply update your product description since this is still somewhat helpful.

I don't like to modify cars. Additionally, I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, so the idea of working on my car's brakes terrified me quite a bit. I viewed numerous tutorials on how to paint calipers in order to become familiar with the procedure and ensure that I was doing it correctly. In addition, I researched evaluations of the various goods and suppliers and considered the possibilities (brush painting vs. spray painting). I'm happy I chose G2 because, in the end, it proved to be the greatest option for me.In a series of January days with an average temperature in the mid 50s and low 60s, I decided to paint the brake calipers on my brand-new Audi A6. Even the manufacturer advises that the paint should only be applied between 56 and 70 degrees F. I jumped right in because I was in the optimal temperature range.I didn't have to spend a lot of time cleaning the calipers because my car was brand new (2017); they were already in good condition. On masking and tape off the areas of the wheel that must or cannot be painted, though, I did concentrate. Additionally, I bought artists' brushes compatible with enamel paints. I did learn that the kit's included brush has a tendency to shed. Sincerely, I didn't observe that, but I still utilized my brushes without giving it a chance.My calipers received a total of four coats of paint. It took some time to complete the initial, light coat. It received a final, smooth finish after the last coat. I decided for black to go with the blacked-out appearance I wanted for my A6.It was easy for me to apply the paint. There were moments when I filled the brush with too much paint and it leaked, but I could simply correct it. Between coats, I waited at least 15 minutes. I did, in fact, buy two kits. I was only able to raise one wheel at a time because it was impossible for me to set my car up on four jack supports. I started by painting one caliper, giving it two hours to dry, putting the wheel on, and then moving on to the next wheel. I've heard that some individuals have successfully divided the hardening agent and paint in half to save for a future project. I refrained from doing that out of concern that I wouldn't have enough hardener to paint and the paint would eventually fail. After finishing all four wheels, I let them two days to cure. G2 advises waiting 24 hours, but I wanted to give it longer drying time because the temperature in my garage went to 56 degrees at night.After it had dried, I removed the wheels once more and finished the design by applying high-heat transfer stickers to the caliper. As long as you have the time to dedicate to the necessary cleaning, preparation, and painting, I would highly suggest this product to everyone. I am very happy with the results.

I bought this to smooth down some previous touch-ups that had grown proud of the surrounding surface before the car's paint was fixed. I could really feel it "catch" the high point, and with just a light touch, it brought them all down to the point that they were no longer detectable. Your companion is patience and a soft touch. Be ready to have that cleaned up because it will leave behind tiny scratches. The touched-up areas were indistinguishable from the surrounding finish once the minor scratches were removed.

I began the bodywork for my summer automobile restoration project by mixing two-part body filler on a scrap piece of plexiglass. It works, however cleaning the plexiglass in between filler operations was tedious and time-consuming. It definitely simplifies the mixing procedure a LOT, so I eventually gave in and bought a board of these sheets. Repeat steps mixing, using, tearing off, and disposing of the sheet. swift and simple. Because of the paper's glossy texture, the substance doesn't seep into it.Seriously, invest the money and purchase a board of these sheets if you mix any two-part goods. I promise it's worthwhile.

Let me start by saying that working with this product is not the easiest thing in the world. Applying it correctly can be difficult, but if you take the time to prepare properly and get the necessary brushes, it will resemble powder coating as closely as possible. This caliper paint kit employs a two part epoxy instead of just paint, unlike many other caliper paint kits. When I was a painter in college, we frequently used epoxy on commercial floors, and I can attest that epoxy is significantly more durable and able to withstand the heat that calipers experience than paint.A can of colored base (I picked yellow for Porsche calipers), a little glass container of activator, a can of brake cleaner, and a terrible brush for application will all be included in the box. You need really clean calipers in order to get a good bond. To remove the most tough brake residue, I advise getting at least one additional can of brake cleaner and a small wire brush. It doesn't hurt to give the calipers a little 150 grit sanding to properly clean them up. You should cover everything you don't want the epoxy on with tape after you spray, scrape, and sand (rotors, bleeder screws, lines, wires, etc). Epoxy has a strong, long-lasting connection that is very difficult to break (useful tip - acetone can remove epoxy, but be careful on rubber as it will melt it).You are almost ready to apply, but you need the appropriate brushes first. The brush that comes with the kit is considerably too stiff, far too little, and sheds bristles. I strongly advise getting these set of paintbrushes to use with your calipers: Paint Brush Set - 7 Artist Brushes for Plein Air Painting, Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor, and Gouache - Short Handle - Professional Travel Holder - 1 Year Warranty - Art Supplies by MyArtscape The huge brush is the ideal size, doesn't shed a single bristle, and is just hard enough to spread the epoxy for your second coat consistently (this is where it can get tricky). Due to utilizing the brush in this kit, which shed bristles on the second coat, I ultimately had to purchase a second kit, sand my calipers, and paint them once more. I cannot emphasize enough how crucial it is to purchase the right, non-shedding brush.One everything is tidy, taped off, and equipped with the appropriate brush, mix the base and activator thoroughly, wait five minutes, then mix once more, and then begin painting the calipers. You should move swiftly from one caliper to the next until all four have one coat on them since you only have about two hours before the epoxy starts to become unworkable in the can. If you are working quickly but attentively, this should take you around 30 minutes. Now stir your epoxy once more quickly, and then start applying the second layer right away. You'll see that the epoxy starts to really stick to and grip at your bristles. The brushes you bought will pay for themselves in this situation. The brush included in this kit is cheap HD brush that will shed and damage your application. Pay particular attention to any runs as you apply the second coat. Runs from the first coat can still be "hard brushed" at this stage and will even out, but after the second coat, there is no turning back. Third coat attempts are not advised because the epoxy will resemble putty at that stage and will not level out properly if you keep brushing it.Your caliper needs to dry for 12 hours (the packaging says 2, but I disagree) after two applications before you try to put your wheels back on. If you bump the caliper with the wheel after two hours, the epoxy will undoubtedly be scratched, undoing all of your diligent work. The epoxy is much more sturdy after 12 hours, but they actually require the entire 24 hours to cure. If you perform the necessary preparation and buy the appropriate brushes, this is a terrific kit. I would have given the kit five stars if it had a nicer brush. There is no justification for this kit's inclusion of a bristle-shedding brush.
A car typically needs two to three coats of clear coat. The first coat is applied to protect the paint and the second and third coats are applied to provide a high-gloss finish.
It takes approximately 1 gallon of paint to cover a car.
Many people choose to paint their own car to save money. Although the initial investment in paint and supplies may be higher than taking your car to a professional, painting your own car will save you money in the long run. You will not have to pay for labor costs, and you can choose to paint your car whenever you have the time.
There are a few key differences between urethane and enamel paint that may make one or the other a better choice for your project. Urethane paint dries harder and is more resistant to chipping and fading than enamel paint. Enamel paint, on the other hand, is easier to work with and can be applied in a thinner layer.
2K paint is a type of paint that uses a two-component system to achieve a durable, long-lasting finish. The first component is a basecoat, which is applied to the surface to be painted. The second component is a topcoat, which is then applied over the basecoat. 2K paint is typically used on automotive and industrial applications where a high-quality, long-lasting finish is required.
There are a few different ways to answer this question as the best brand of automotive paint could be based on a few different factors. Some people might say that the best brand of automotive paint is the kind that is the most affordable, while others might say that the best brand is the kind that will last the longest. Personally, I believe that the best brand of automotive paint is the kind that is the most durable. I have had to repaint my car a few times over the years and the paint job that has held up the best for me has been the one that was done
