with a gun..how much paint will I need a quart or more?

 

id get 2 to be safe ,and if you dont need the 2nd one return it

 

thats what Iwas guessing better to be safe then sorry

 

you can't return mixed paint.......
Two quarts will paint an intire car so that might be MAJOR overkill. One quart should be fine, if not too much.

 

This is of course assuming you mean ppg paint and a paint that is reduced 3 to one or more.

 

i dont know about that ,i would buy 2 are you doing just the face of the rims ? or the hole rim in and out ?

when i rattle caned my rims ,it took 16 cans of paint lol in and out ,but i allso did alot of coats and yeah i know there is a diffrence between rattle can and can paint

paint them with some sort of rustoelm /trimclad paint /or even just the stuff called rust paint at walmart ,its cheap looks sicka nd does the trick

then after hit it with some rattle can clear ,if you want

good luck i wanna see pics

 

Dude, I can powder coat your rims for a good *** price (doing this as a side job). If interested hit me up.

 

powder coating is the way to go!!

lol yeah you might think so but they did last ,right now ive started to strip them down again lol lots of paint ,they had a nice rounded look too them ,no imperfections what so ever

 

when you dillute quarts of paint it goes ALOT farther than its counter point in spray cans, thats really not even comparable since spray bombing a car takes tons of cans yet a quart and a half of real automotive paint would do it.

No dought they would last and look good.
But why spend more money when you can get the same outcome for cheaper and less effort
Just my op

 

^ same outcome??? u seen powdercoated wheels after 2yrs compared to rattle can job? if you got the money DO IT.

 

OK OK back on topic whats reducer and where can I get it....I believe its paint thinner but Im not sure.....if so can I just get some at the home depot?.....guess I need to mix it with the PPG...noob i am and what PSI should I spray at with a hvlp gun

 

If you're going to be painting with PPG, then get a PPG reducer (there are different reducers for different temperatures). Don't go to Home Depot and buy paint thinner lol. Everyone sprays at a different PSI also. When I went to school they said 10 PSI at the nozzle. I personally spray at 19 PSI at the handle (for clear coat), for base coat I usually bump it up a little maybe around 22-25 PSI at the handle.

 

thanks man....I'll order some up

 

just out of curiousity what would happen if you didnt use a reducer or is the paint to thick then?

You could spray it but it would be a waste of money and material. It wouldn't lay down nearly as nice either.

 

damn ok ok....guess I'll wait wish I knew I needed reducer first...1:1 ratio
