Who's Painted their Engine Cover

[rtbiscuit]

Its not the engine cover, just a few other things I have painted, some rust spots on the gf's car boot and some plastic door trims. Have degreased, sanded(600, 1200), primed, sanded(1500), painted, sanded(1500), then laquered! Was going to get some 2000/2500, use that, then polish with my dual polisher.

 

So if im too quick with the laquer it spreads too thinly and thats why it feels rough? If im slower and have the laquer thicker that will make it smooth (particles closer together)?

 

I appreciate your help.

 

i think that should be it, from what it sounds like its the laquer that ends up with a dimply effect as there isn't enough of it down to spread out and create a solid finish.

Ill give it a go putting more laquer on this weekend! Would love to get a proper paint gun and compressor in time.

Quite enjoy it - when it goes well!!!

 

Thanks again.
