Grundy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 http://www.350z-uk.c...k/#entry1202675 Clever man, however, I got carried away and decided on some other parts to spray too...

ZEUS Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Get plenty of pictures when you do your door handles so I can copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 ^^ Not sure I like the colour. Primer is a beautiful colour Get plenty of pictures when you do your door handles so I can copy Will do bud. Warming up to that 1st with practicing on these Question to all you sprayers, I know it goes Sand - Primer - Sand - Primer Etc. What about the paint layer? I've done a coat. Now do I sand and do another coat? or just keep going over with coats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If it were me id get a good couple of coats on before even thinking of colour sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Is it smooth to the touch? If it is and your happy I would tend to leave it. If not then gentle sanding with fine grit wet & dry paper (using water) will help. Depending on how smooth you want it anything from 800 grit -1200 grit would be fine.

14N Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The orange does take some building up for it to actually look orange. Don't rush into spraying loads on, just lots of light coats. Not sure what you're spraying, but you may need more than the one can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Cheers for the advise guys, just wanted to check what to do next ^^ 1st Coat. Will be doing more throughout the night as it drys. You will see Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you're spraying, but you may need more than the one can Good advice. Lot's of light gentle coats is the way to do it ~ helps avoid paint runs and will allow each layer to dry properly as it takes time for the propellant to evaporate between layers.

wizurd Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Looking good. Something I want to try with my zed as well. How you finding the dimples on the covers. You sanding down within them or just over the rest of the covers? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sanding down within them or just over the rest of the covers? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk I've just sanded down as if it was a flat surface, so nah, I've not gone into the dimples. It's seemed to have come out fine However when I come to do the door handles, I'll be trying to sand as much as possible, as they will always be on show, as this is just for when ever I pop the bonnet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cool. Going to have to try this soon. Just the colour to decide now. Liking the orange but not for me Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
