Panel spraying *NEED JOBS*

Ok now this is basically to show the process of how i am going to be spraying pannels. These are off my mates old bike and have been through a hell of a lot of shit paint jobs looks like 4 coats over the original which wernt even sanded down.
This is the first process


Now finished one of the pannels its ready for a sand down to smoothen it out and prepare it for the priming stage.


its now clear to see where the person who had the original panels binned it.



Ok now all pannels are stripped and sanded down. Tomorrow hopefully they will be primed and painted.

and a remind of what the first one i done came out like

Re: Panel revamp

Re: Panel revamp

Yep there will be constant updates as im planning to get people to pay me for spraying theirs...have a few already .

 

Re: Panel revamp

Oh right, i remember you came on talking about how SHIT pm tuning are, which made me not want any of their products which has made me buy a malossi crank instead of pm tuning one lol. And it seemed they protected pm tuning...
anyway i get a good laugh of that site and get advice...even though u now mention that it may not be the best lol.

But hey its only a forum
and who fucked their first rebuild? rainbowrunner lols

 

Re: Panel revamp *quick update*

Just sanded down the footboards and small square panel 3 times each with 3 different grades of paper (180, 240, 320) and i can officially say i can no longer feel my fingers...

 

Re: Panel revamp *quick update*

Lol yer i heared about him fucking up his bike, he tried again and has done it...apparently.

Thanks for the advice on the video, will do and the paint is acid cellulose which is mixed with laquer

 

Re: Panel revamp *quick update*

LOL yer its very good stuff, very hard to get it glossy but it can be done. Not sure about the settling bit, but ive had one sprayed for a week now and ive tried wiping water and all sorts and it seems ok? lol

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

Half the priming 'IZ DOON'

From the first coat of priming, its easy to see where the pannels have been dropped or original paint has come off. im going to do a few more coats and see if the primer evens out which is when it will be sanded and sprayed. If it doesnt even out im going to have to fill them and prime again. and just for confirmation the primer will be sanded down where the pannels are uneven so dont think its finished yet, its far from it.


And this is the gun i used



Opinions appreciated. Thanks

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

looks like you'll be needing some stopper on some of those marks.

Do't you use isolatorbarcoat first as a precaution?

smart gun BTW. I've just bought a FLG05. Not in the same price range, but still gives good results

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

These set dont need to be anything special tbh they are just going on whilst mine are being done properly. Also the marks on the pannels wont show on the finished product i can assure you of that so dont worry . They have been sanded down with the primer evenly now.

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

bit off topic what would a decent spray gun stand you At or is there any cheap/good ones about Wont mind buying one

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

If you want a decent spray gun your going to have to pay for other things to power it like a compressor which are very expensive to buy and run. The guns themself can cost and thing upto £400

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

Ah nice. Using a compressor is quite weird, I think I got the hang of it now. Let us know how you get on with the illuminous panel being painted. Old paint place said they needed to strip that certain paint otherwise it would react or something. Don't listen to it though, I think it's a load of crap.

Good luck

 

Re: Panel revamp *ANOTHER UPDATE* PRIMING!

Funny you say that, on one of the panels i primered, it reacted with something on the surface whether it was oil or grease i dont know but i didnt like it. Owel gave it a good old sand off and off we go again
A compressor is the best method in my opinion. and i will do.
