70 /30 color clear mix and 2 coats of staight clear

[Mick]

gee i thought my black was shinney but it's 2 pak, won't be any polishing though for me
looks good what's the name of the colour .............. here he comes red ?

[EK JAY]

Thanks Luke you wont miss it in the car park thats for sure

Thanks Mick the color is a hyundi color poppy red is the name
so i guess you could say its poppy cock red

[Mick]

is that off the earlier hyundies say mid '90's has a pinkish/peach tinge to it

[EK JAY]

Nah its of the hyundi Getz new model 2010 /11
its funny how many different reds there are out there
some look almost orange to pink when put up against each other
and some are just to bright like the holden sting red on the commodore or chilli red on the new barina's

[EK JAY]

Hi
ive repaired 3 doors now here is one of them just needs one more
rub back with 2000 so as to get a shine to it i then wipe the pannel with
some prepsol wax and grease remover so it looks wet makes it easy to check for any dents
that i might have mist then if all good its ready to paint
also have finished the bonnet and stone tray

[Mick]

2000 on primer there's something wrong with you
but like they say it's all in the prep, that's what's gunna let mine down

[Finny]

This one is looking good.
I'd better check on your previous wagon project, it must be finished ?

[EK JAY]

not yet finny but close not close enough for the nats though

[Sputzwagon]

You better stock up in 'refreshment'...I think I'll be spending a bit of time going over your projects come June, Jay.
Looking good mate.
Pay no attention to Mick, I too like my primer to shine from a good fine grit rub. (SO?..we're gluttons for punishment...so sue us! ).

Scotty.

[Harko]

Doesnt the paint need a surface to bight to .

[Blacky]

Doesnt the paint need a surface to bight to .

Thats what I thought too Harko - my mate who paints all my cars says no finer than 800 or the paint wont key properly.

Ask 10 painters and get 10 different opinions I guess.

[Sputzwagon]

It might make a difference when doing two-pack, but the idea of primer is that it bites to both the steel & the colour when using acrylic ...that's what I was told by the painter who I learned of anyhoo.
