Hey everyone thanks for always helping me with what i needed. My car is in the shop for paint.. things i want to paint myself are. the center t-top peice, door handles, and the end trim peices on the t-tops their self.. tell me if this set up would be ok. Buy all duplicolor product spray cans.

Duplicolor primer can
duplicolor black
duplicolor white
and a clear coat spray can? i think duplicolor has a clear coat spray.will this work out good?

 

it will work out fine, but make sure you put a few layer of the clear stuff on there, if you don't then it will scuff easily.

 

k thanks for the tip will do

 

Do light coats so it doesnt run and you might want to wetsand it, rattle can has a tendency to go on rough.

 

like wet sand each coat with what 400 500? if you have done this before can you please let me know the steps : ) please please. wet sand just the clear or what? let me kno thanks tonz

 

No you dont need to wetsand btw each coat its not that bad there arent exact steps to it either. I would wetsand with 1000-1500 grit after your done base coating and then put clear on. If the clear goes on rough you can always wetsand that again and then buff it out. Feel free to PM me if you need mroe details.. you dont necissarily have to wetsand or anything either, but it will look better.

 

k thanks i'll have before and after pics say 2-4 days : ) on the little stuff i painted thanks man!

 

Same situation here man except no t's i just used soem krlon gloss black got most of my stuff back on today and everythign looks awesome, i figure its all easy enough to take off and respray if it chips or fades. good luck with it whats happening with the paint work?

 

i gotta go to my dads work tommorow (thursday) cause the guy said i still had a couple spots to block, then he'll probably start primer and ect. should be done monday-tues.. then later on since im going to be building a motor this winter i'll probably get a new front end nose, and a new left front fender.. i already got a new right one, but the left one i just noticed had about a trash can full of filler on it lol.. i mean you wont tell with paint but i hate filler on my car..you can see my car was hit from the front side.. the nose is buckled

 

I wouldn't clear it. That stuff is already glossy and will probably look worse with clear on it.

FWIW, here's a (low res, wouldn't let me attach a better pic) picture of my car, rattle canned, no clear:

 

lol sweet.. but i want the finish to be very nice,, so i can scuff the base coat then coat with clear
