thx guys good info. im thinking bout just a little darker shade of red so i guess i can do without primer yea?

 

Yep
It's all in the prep
And the wrist

 

Wetsand before....
You did read it the way I wrote right?

 

sadly I skim read everything. I miss things
never have I wet sanded beforehand either

 

red on red? no way. just do 2 coats of the color you like
what is the current condition of your old paint? oxidation, chipping, peeling, dents

 

the painton it now is in good condition i just want it a little darker. there are a few body inperfections but nothing drastic or unfixable.

 

yeah just scuff it out with red scotch brite or 500 grit and a power sander if you have one

 

awesome. thx for all the help. cant wait to do it now haha

 

Heres mine I primed around edges where paint would come off easier its held up well for about 2 years now.

 

Haha that's kinda creepy. You live close by?

 

The engine.


The body


Dismantled, prepped and in primer.


Single stage acrylic enamel.

 

Well good job on skimming and then trying to correct me
But AGAIN
instead of "scuffing" or buying a power sander and warping ur panels

WETSAND IT WITH WETSANDING PAPER AND WATER
it comes out smoother than the factory paint and ANY paint will stick
Forever.

But whatever
Do what ya want
What would I know?
Only done this about 12 times and all still look great.

 

He's rite wet sanding will be emincely better than "just scuffing" that's what I do and it ALWAYS comes out looking professional .../:

 

when did I correct you? I said I'VE never done it. I didnt know spray paint was made for wet sanding
and figured you would point me in the direction of a spray paint that was made to be wet sanded if it existed
calm down high and mighty

 

@shaggimo that looks phenominal
any shots of the finished engine bay?
