cheers[/QUOTE] i say anyone that can say i care about my car a liltle bit, should not paint there car with acrylic, its just shocking, and about filiung chips,after filing chips if u dont want shrinkback marks into the chips u MUST prime it, coz fine filler is not so fine it has real tny hoiles in it, and when u paint the car, in a couple of dyas the paint will shrink into these real tiny holes aking the shape of the chip, FULBST u should neva put pearl in clear, coz the pearl is a base and the clear is 2k solid wich dont go together the more pearl in clear the more it will dull , u should use clear binder so u can see fru to the bottom layer and the binder is made for base, wich wont dull and u have clear over it with nothing in it. unless there both acrylic. an acrylic paint job could neva be good as 2pac SPRAY IN A BOOTH: is good coz it will keep the dust out and u can control heat, u DONT have to bake a 2pac paint job, if its a hot day leav it for 3 days and it will be hard as baked, ive painted cars at 7 degress wich is way too cold and even at 35 degress wich is way too hot, i say normal painting temp is around 20 degrees but i can get the same results with 7 and 35 degress, with 7 degress the paint is going to take much longer to dry, and with 35 degress its going to dry real qucik and u will be runin around the car, a full respray shouldnt be done in real hot weather even in a booth, if ur doing a respray dont do it in a garage or etc, coz u hae spent all that time and effort pay around $150 hire a booth, or pay me so i can paint ur car i hope ive helped someone here and if u have anymore questions just ask.

any of u painter guys care to explain to me wat silicon is and where it comes from and how it wrecks ur job.. My car doors were affected recently by this 'painters worst nightmate' while they were being sprayed.. i was told by the painter that it was caused from the sound deadener/sealer **** that sticky crap on the inside of the doors.. would this be true ? he tried silicon drops in the paint but no success, they ended up wiping the paint off the doors straight away instead.. so back to primer.. apparently they need a quick whizz over and they'll be sweet to have another go.. does this sound right.. or are they speaking **** to me ? they prepsoled the doors down... and its glasurit paint aswell.. give me ur opinions.. also now that the paints been wiped off ready to have anothe go.. will the same thing just happen again or wat ? amatuer ****ers.. shell turned out nice tho.. shame bout my ***in doors. peace.

2pac is better but more expensiver and more dangerious to ya health but smells sooo nice, mine was done in acrylic and shines the same as a base colour of 2pac without clear, so i do say that 2pac is better, 2pac is more runnier then acrylic, need to have experence using it though but if you are after a high gloss hard paint finsh, id go 2pac
