Spraying wheels

Featured Replies

I'm painting the centres of my borbets a different colour. Whats a good way to do this?

At the moment I've sprayed one layer of primer on each, its not going to be a good job

because I'm too impatient to be a sprayer haha But how long do i leave the primer?

How many layers of primer? How long to dry? How many layers of colour? And then clear laquer?

:-D

the boyf recently sprayed my vw badge black, and he put about 4 coats of primer on that, left it a day, then 4 coats of paint. left it another day then 4 coats of laquer n left it another day.

I'm far too impatient aswell

i normally do a few coats of primer, then leave it a day, then a few coats of paint, then laquer if needed. i never bothered doin anythin more in depth on them if i gonna use them daily 8-)

Yeah i'll be doing it the pikey way so I'm not bothered about technique haha

Think i'll primer them all today and then put the colour on tommorow :-D

2 coats of primer and leave about 30 mins on a warm day flat back, paint 2 - 3 coats leave overnight if i was you, flat then clear coat :)

i can do the lot in an hour with my stuff :p

but i have heat lamps and heat guns :)

listen to that man. if his paint can stay on that polo when the bass is cranked, it must be good :lol:

Primer hardens in just a few hours. Paint,however,generally takes over a week.

Best to do a coat of primer every 15 mins for an hour,leave until the next day,then wet-flat it smooth. Thin coats of paint can then be applied the same,with optional laquer going straight over the untouched paint the next day. Wait over a week if you want to then polish the laquer (or the unlaquered paint) smooth with a compound. You only need laquer if its metallic paint or some of the alloy is bare (such as the rim).

I always end up with fingerprints in the paint coz I'm too impatient to wait 4 it to dry, i sprayed my standard wheels black, it doesnt look bad, its better than the greyish normal ones. lol 8-)
