Keep any oil contaminants away from the car. Wipe the entire paint surface with a very clean rag, then finish it off with a tack cloth. Like the painting primer, mix the paint according to vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. It has been said that a “second-best” brand of thinner can be used as it may tend to dry quicker and faster keeping the paint from soaking into the primer or plastic. This type of solvent can be had at your local Canadian Tire superstore. Use the same spray gun and the same pressures as before. Go around the car body twice, putting two coats per painting go-around. Again best to spray in the morning time periods or late at night as long as the bugs are not out – in the Winnipeg , Manitoba night. The sanding techniques are the same with color as they are with primer ( except for no fog guide coat) , and what you will be doing with No. 400 paper and plenty of clean Manitoba water is removing any bumps, runs , sags or “orange peel” on the auto body surface. What is important is to look out for tiny nitro cellulose lacquer in that it will clog, which causes the paper , clogged with particles to scratch the surface. Because of this,be sure to keep the paper clean, Depending on the colour you are using, repeat this sequence from three to five times , spraying eight to 12 coats ( about two gallons of materials) on the automotive body. If you consider that this is a lot, remember that you are sanding off 1uite a bit of this this material. The final steps are to put on the last colour coats ( do not thin this much) and then let the whole painting project sit to patiently and thoroughly dry for a month minimum drying period.
