tinsman 0 Posted February 9, 2004 I live here in the states and i dont know what its like over in the UK but if i want to get somthing painted here its way more that i can afford, as i am only in high school. I took my $160 grill to get painted and it cost me $150 :shock: . i was wondering what i would need to paint things my self? how much it would cost? where i would buy it? Im thinking about getting a body kit and to get that painted would just be way to much. any comments would be helpful. thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 9, 2004 I just used a spray can on my Grill/eyebrow, cost £10 (i think) for the can. looks very good IMO, just take ya time, and sand it properly :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Same here: DIY! Best results, I found, is to get one of those spray guns for model kits, as they give a very fine (teardrop free) pattern, unlike spray cans, which I have always found give too course a pattern. These spray gun kits cost no more than £16, that's including the first can of compressed air. I have done my grille spoiler like that, just use loads of plastic primer first, then use almost 50% thinner to paint ratio, otherwise your spray gun nozzle will clog. Good luck, Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 9, 2004 I always thought those air brush kits were alot more than that. I might have to invest, seeing as I need to touch up the two wings were people have driven into me (3 times in 6 weeks!!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
