JustGav Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 You could probably wipe it off with a tin of paint thinners.. Then apply a good plasticized primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I take it this was something you did then, as you seem to know what type of paint and where it came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Try to remove as much of the paint as possible.If you dont,after the flat colour is applied over the new primer,it could react with the old paint:run,sag maybe not dry properly.If it doesnt happen with the flat colour,it might happen when the top laquer coat is applied.I know this from past experience with my own bumper.Get it as free of old paint as you can.Good luck.

stingjay Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 just gav would the thinners damage the fibre glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 just gav would the thinners damage the fibre glass It shouldn't.. depends I personally use Lechler paint products and that hasn't affect any fibreglass or plastic that I've tried i on. It did however just pull some cheapy halfrods primer off a helmet I was doing for a for a friend when I wiped it over with thinners before spraying.

SUPRALOOPY Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just wet flat the whole thing with 800 w&d any flakey bits will flake off and then you can flat the edge down. dry it all off and prime the whole bumper if poss, this will seal it. then guide coat and flat it down again then paint it.

JustGav Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Jw&d any flakey bits Considering I've just woken up and haven't even had my first cuppa, I read that as wd40 for some reason and panicced... Gaijin PS : Make sure WD40 and other silicon products don't go near the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a question for you... I've shot something with a high fleck silver metallic base ready for a blue candy. Busy doing some ghost images using a grey on top of the silver. All works fine until I lay the first layer of ink dye on it, for some reason the grey then seems to react with the silver. Do you reckon I should stick some inter-coat on it before putting the ink dye on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon I should stick some inter-coat on it before putting the ink dye on? That sounds all a bit specialist to me. But are all the products the same? and if not, do some use a thinner and some a catalyst? sounds like one of the products you are using don't like the other. I would read all data sheets available for all products as this can get exspensive to keep stripping what your painting. I have never got to involved with candy or high metalics as they are too much agro when things don't go right, Painting stuff in normal paint is bad enough. Not much help I know but its not really my field. Dave:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr keef Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 do not use anything like d40!...the painter will rub it down and put a barrier coat on as it will react with the new paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
