Well the problem with taping off is you will have paint thicker in that area...You will need to have a bigger area tapped off. But yes you do have to fan the touchup spot.

Eastern Ky...I think I have seen it though.

 

you ever out at ohio valley?

 

you need to repaint the entire panel if you burnt through it, or mask off a large enough area so u can fade/pan out the paint. atleast a 2 foot circle
good luck, wet sanding is tough

so you painted it with rustoluim? i read the $50 paint job thing, i even tried spraying but it ran all over the place and dried very soft. i got enough paint at napa to do my car for only $250 or around there.

yeha i waited till about 3 hours ago to start sanding , i did one fender and the door both side!

but i kinda chickend out on the paint job bc ive never done it before and i was still unsure about the mixing i needed to do on the paint

soooooooo.. i will be reading up on it more and i will be painting my buddies car with real automotive paint

so i read that $50 dollar paint job crap and i was reading it


primed everything then i got rustoleum paint (professional grade ****)

and thinnned it with mineral spirirts to like water and it sprayed amazing

very little orange peel but it did run on the fenders but it was my fault it swong and the gun went to close


but the fiberglass fenders **** are garbage theres cracks all over the place and im going to be getting metal fenders soon and use the fiberglass fenders for wheni put the drags on so i could cut them and ****
that's when i put my turbo on

NO&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;NO&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&g t;&gt;NO say you did not do that!!!!

All you had to do was ask man I would have told you how to mix it. That **** is a mother to get off and a wast of money. The white CRX that I just got was painted the same way and in order for me to put on real paint I have to get all of it off or it will mess up my real paint.

Painting is not that bad, mixing is just as easy as reading what the paint tells you to mix like 4-1-1 and the mixing cup shows 4-1-1 and you fill it that way.

4 being the paint
1 reducer
1 hardener

You can even get a little Dixie cup and do 4 cups, then 1 cup, then 1 cup.

You can also use a single stage paint and you wont have to use clear. That is what I use.

Just like that. Well good luck with that ether way, but also good luck when you want to paint it.

 

i might be buyign another CRX for likt 800 it needs a little work

its a Dx

if i dont get that im going to loook for a hatch either EF or EG imnotsure yet

but when i get that im going to paitn that one for real bc ill have a daily driver and also ill be able to work on it for longer and take my time better

i mena i didnt rush this car but i could have spent more time on it you knwo...


when im ready to paint again i will call on you guys for the mixtures and what to buy

 

Good deal, Pm me anytime.

 

hey, CBURKE, what do you use for like compound., wax and like buffer pads different pads for difference compounds and **** right

like thedifferent coats you put on , apply, remove **** like that

you get what im trying to say?

 

I use 3M stuff. Just go to a paint shop and they will give you want you need.

From my post in your Paint and Body.

 

haha yea i posted that there and on my thread so i wouold get more answers and more of a chance for people to answer!

thanks!

 

harm- what did you use like did you use compound then wax

use the compound to get the light scratches out of the 1500 grit or so

then waxx after the compound?

 

You will not wax your car for about 2 or 3 mo. The paint may feel dry to the touch but under the skin it is not dry.

There are a few diff compounds you are going to use.

when you're sanding the edges, are you shimmying (sp) back and forth working on one section at a time or are your making one pass starting in the front and ending in the back?

how cold is it supposed to be tommorow? i prefer painting when it's cool and rainy because the paint lays down better and the rain minimizes dust.

keep up the good work.
