It's Rustoleum Protective Enamel (Oil-based). What do I use to thin it since it's not Tremclad?

 

Have fun with the hours upon hours of making it all smooth from applying it with rollers .. I had a buddy that did his CRX like this, good luck though!

 

thin it with mineral spirits. i don't think you really even needed to buy primer

 

yea he is right use mineral spirits i did the same thing but i did it whith a paint gun it was my firs time so it driped it looks ok but some how it looks like it neads more shine let me know how it came out

what ratio did u do paint to mineral spirits?

 

can we use the ppg reducer instead since i have a gallon of it right now?

 

bye the way im going to spray it on for sure !!

 

it shouldent be a problem ,just test out the reducer and see how it reacts tot he paint ,thats all ,like take a bit in a cup and poor alittle reducer in there and see what happens,if it mixes it will work ,if it just sits at the top of the cup youll have to use the mineral spirits

and yes you can put rustolem in your gun ,remember its paint and you have a paint gun just make sure its thinned good ,or youll have troubles spraying that thick stuff lol

when i mexxed mine for the first time it was around 70/30 70 paint and 30 thinner ,but id allmost go with 60/40 mix

 

sweet thanks buddy!!! i got a 2000 gsr test hood that im going to shoot this week and il post it for you guys

 

cant wait to see how this comes out..!

 

Oh, you should have gone to the local paint store and had them mix up 8 cans of Single stage in a ratle can and srpeayed the car, rollers on a car spell disaster.

good luch any way, I need to see how this furns out...

 

i said i chose to shoot the paint. i have a gravidy feed spray gun already anyway
