Prepare the surface by using wet & dry paper to sand down the original paint (note that you don't really want to be sanding the baer metal - stop before you get to this stage). Note that you wil also have to remove all traces of your previous attempts first. Undercoat - 2 or 3 (or more) THIN AND EVEN coats of a good quality spray undercoat. Now you can start painting - 3 (or more) THIN AND EVEN coats of your lacquer spray, making sure it's properly dry between coats. -- jc |

What kind of painting product do not come off ??? Please Advice ME! Susan Czhung Preparation is the key to a good finish 1. sand all surfaces with 220 grit or higher 2. clean all surfaces with ammonia based cleaner 3. Let completely dry 4.On metal use a primer.Lacquer or enamel primer depending on the type paint. For light colored final color use white or lt.gray For dark final colors use dk gray,red or black 5. Once it's primed and dry,lightly sand with 320 or higher,then use a tack cloth to pick up any dust. 6. For lacquer colors, apply in thin layers about 15-20 apart until you gradually cover the prime coat. Allow paint to completely dry about 1-3 hrs.Then apply a Clear top coat in layers usually 3-5 coats depending on how much depth you want to the color. Any little blemishes can be taken out with very fine steel wool. After which you can apply your final coat.Then don't touch it for 8-10 hrs.Best conditions are 70 to 80 degrees with low humidity BTW if you use Fusion paint for plastic,thoroughly clean the plastic with ammonia based cleaner. After painting Let dry for 24 hours before you touch it. Rust-o-leum makes a primer for plastic Hope this helps Jim |
