zacsvl - mig welding is easy as. one of your mates know how to do it? get em to teach you

and here is my engine bay i just smoothed..painted in 2pac [IMG] [/IMG] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

farkk...u r obviously a painter tho right? if not TEACH MEE!

no the bay was my first 2pac job.. my dad taught me how to paint he use to b a spray painter...

Dam...nice man...i need someone to teach me...lol

yeah i was pretty lucky to have my dad teach me...there are a few good books out there on painting n panel work u should grab some n have a read..its fairly easy to learn....

heres mine done it in the shed last year not that good but its ok, i regretfully sold it tho had a original calais front end on it to, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

very nice im really keen on purple atm ay.

need a bit of advice... alost (not all) of my bay is bare metal. ive done some welding grinding etc and am now ready to start bogging. have read that bog doesnt like being applied over some primers... whats the process i should take to make sure i do this right.

i think you need to use differnt type of primer on bare metal

use an epoxy etch primer

what can happen if your use a normal highfill primer on baremetal sections ??? i ask because some parts of my shell have bare metal sections

it can flake off on all the bare metal areas just shoot a bit of etch primer on them before u high fill them. etch primers also have corrosion inhibitors whereas high fill doesnt

how long would it take to flake off... also i see that primer stuff in auto cheap is that stuff good or ****

Mate use Etch primer It Aint Just About How long it will stick for Bare metal Should Be Chemi Cleaned To Neutralize Rust And Dirty metal Then Etch Primed And U Can Use just a Cheap can If Thats What u Wanna do its Gotta be Better Than Nothing !

thanks guys. i was aware that an etch primer was the go, but did a bit of reading on bogging over primer and thought it said that some etch primers werent good for bog. forgot to mention that i dont have the space to use a compressor in my current garage... will a spray pack epoxy etch primer give me as good a quality finish as from a compressor? if there is a big difference i can wait until i move in a few months, but would rather not leave the baremetal umm bare for too long lol

point taken. etch primer here i come. i was thinking after ive finished priming everything i dont just chuck the base paint on top of that do i , i should spray like a white base coat or undercoat. im a newbie to this i just wanna make sure everything dont properly.

im painting my car yellow and ive been told to use a white primer because it takes a few coats to get good coverage

This is my acrylic effort. Its a burgandy colour you may find on a r33 skyline. Its wine red or something with few coats of clear. All acrylic. Its just a test panel btw Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
