JustGav Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Is this a wind up, you can't paint a car in hammerite. Please tell me you aint using a roller. Why not? Kev has actually done a lot of this himself and while it won't be the same as a $50000 paintjob, he has taken the initiative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Why not? Kev has actually done a lot of this himself and while it won't be the same as a $50000 paintjob, he has taken the initiative Exactly. It's all about what people like and can afford to do with their cars. Individuality. Incidentally the car that the late Rik did looked great and was an inspiration to many I am sure. Oh I should add, in some people's opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 I actually like the satin paint job for a temporary job, not permanent, but i dont have the enviroment or money to use and gun and compressor, so this a good way of getting my car on the road, im not loaded with cash to do what ever i want, so i have to make do with what i have. Im just of billing road shane:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Doesn't bother me how you paint your car. It's the finish that matters......... and painting any car to look like black drain piping is just wrong. There was a Porshe in matt black that drove past me Fri last week. It looked minging.

evinX Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 I want to do something like this under my bonnet with brush on hammerite, paint it white first, then lay on the red, i really do like this, and it saves my satin black paint.

nevins Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 So smooth finish not hammered effect then, Could you thin it down with thinners and use a gun to apply it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Also I was toying with the idea of a matt black supra but then I like a deep shine to a car. I would just get annoyed when cleaning it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermonkey Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I quite like the matt look, very different from the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you bought it in tins, but then it looses it rust protection quality, i want to keep that so got the aerosols:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy147 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Got some balls doing this mate, I resprayed my own wheels as a temp fix and suprisingly they still look ok, but the thought of painting the whole car myself....no thanks lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aweegin Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 FANTASTIC!! I love rat black!! If it was any other 15 yr old car you wouldn't think twice...go for it..it's just a car Out of interest..regarding the baby wipes thing...why can't you just wash with soapy water as per normal? The only problem i found when i ratted my old motor bikes was how easy it was to mark..like dragging a fingernail along it would leave a mark etc. Be interesting to see if you come across this also..i hope not though..but hey..you can just spray it away BANG..AND THE MARK IS GONE lol EDIT: One of the best cars i saw, was at a bike garage my mate worked at many years ago..many diff colours of paint and folks just dipped their hands in ..and the hand prints covered the car, sure it was an only banger of a car but it was cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
