Got self etching, a can of denatured alcohol, and some 400 sand paper. Only thing I don't have that was recommended is the scotch bright pad. Were would I find one of those?

grocery store...lol

[adamwilkes14]

[bigtigga84]

so how goes it?

 

[bigtigga84]

Well, the rustoleum primer is great....... the actual color...... not so much. Can this stuff be bought in quarts? Im out of paint so gonna have to wait till Monday to get more spray if I can't get a quart. I know a guy that restores classic autos that im thinking of having spray the rings. The shell looks good too, just the damn rings are givin me issues.

Its spotty. Like there are glossy spots and dull spots

 

[adamwilkes14]

Which line of their primer did you use, the Automotive primer? I think thats only avail in spray cans.

 

[bigtigga84]

yep, the automotive self etching. it worked awesome. it's the dinky ass cans of the lacquer paint

 

[adamwilkes14]

I have never used it personally.....I have always stayed with Duplicolor myself. My dad's 76 Chevy truck was primed with RustOleum via a damn roller...how many coats of the primer did you do? Did you sand the primer before the top coat?

 

[bigtigga84]

two and yes. i really thing it's operator malfunction lol and that there isn't much paint in those cans. anybody have any experience with this place?

I have

its decent paint i painted my door handles with this brand a few years ago and it will turn out great as long as the prep is done correctly.

 

[bigtigga84]

thanks man! gonna see how much getting it from the stealer is first.

 

[0212353]

dealer is about 10 bucks a can. You need to paint when its not humid out, thats what may be causing your blotchiness. and CLEAR it. It will remain "flat" looking if you don't.

 

[bigtigga84]

Thanks JJ, took it too the body guy I know. Depending on how much it costs probably gonna have them do it so its done right and looks good. Don't wanna be reppin George with a ****** paint job. Lol no humidity? Wouldn't get done till october around here if I do it myself lol
