Spraying advice

[kleaky88]

I'm still in deliberation about this and its doing my nut in. I am skint, the car is ready for spray and will then go on the road. Ideally I would love to get it 2 pac'd but I don't think I can afford it.

What result can I expect from a home spray in cellulose with the best prep possible? I have prepped the car to a high standard and after spray will machine polish it etc etc. But what will the quality be like? Can I get a good finish? And how long will the cellulose last?

waste of time in my opinion.

do it in 2-pac

far easier, quicker and more forgiving. celly is really hard to spray. i painted the roof of a landy last night in 2-pac. start to finish 20 min. it needs a 1200 and a polish to be really shiny, but the gut is going to live with the odd dust mote as its 'only' a landrover and looks really good. one coat job done.

cone is your man for more details but i think he will concur with me.

ive heard good reports on that Dulux one coat,true rich ?

"with all the prep done " ?! not often do we see that, im sorry but a good finnish is 90% prep and it has to be perfect or your wasting paint, you shouldn't have to resort to flatting nd buffing (does Carl go on here Rich )? if you get it wet enough it should flow out nice , Too wet nd you'll be surfin.
good luck
