Spraying help

[carlos 318is]

I have sprayed some other panels in the past and had no problems

More of a problem now is I have just been told the place I was going to spray me car I now cant so it looks like now my only option is a large gazebo has anyone ever used one to spray a car in and do you guys think it would be ok if I got a large fan in there to remove the over spray

I'm surprised that you can get cellulose for such a modern car! The paint shops are only supposed to supply cellulose for use on cars that orginally used cellulose as the finish.

Your BM would have been painted in 2K acrylic from new so if I were you, I'd see if you can get the use of a spray booth with clean air supply for the air fed mask. Or do all the prep and get the top coat sprayed in 2K by professionals in a booth.

I can get hold of celle no problem and the reason I am doing it my self is because I want to and I cant get hold of anywere to spray it so another reason I am useing celle that why I asked if anyone had used a gazebo in the past

YES mate i have used a large gazebo before to paint a car in, the use of the fan you mention, i dont think it will be any good, probably worse in fact as a fan blows, an extractor fan sucks.Your fan will blow any dust/muck onto your paintwork.
I defo would use 2k in the gazebo, it dont take to long to dry and looks a better finish seeing as yous is not an old classic car which were painted in celly

The one thing with fans is that yes it will pull out the fumes but also will pull out the heat.

will allso pull in more dust

 

[carlos 318is]

Ok so I see a plan forming

1 large gazebo no fan and 2k paint

Now that's the scary bit as I have been told it can KILL and I dont fancy that

You gotta have an air fed mask in a Gazebo mate...........looks cool at Barbeques

Back to celle then just need a plot of land now to set up the big tent and get the car in

Just noticed you are in Kent- which part Carlos???

As my car has so few dents on it can I use a Halfords rattle can primer and then spray the celle over that. Also is it best to take the dent to bare metal then use the filler or can I just rough the paint up

best to get the dent down to bare metal mate

 

[carlos 318is]

best to get the dent down to bare metal mate

But what about the primer

 

[piman]

Hello Carlos,

the filler needs to go on bare metal, not paint and once smoothed the primer goes on top.

Good luck using rattle cans, I wouldn't dream of using it on a whole car.

I am not going to use rattle cans on the whole car just the filler patches as the rest of the paint is good I was just going to cut is back and spray on top

 

[piman]

Hello Carlos,

OK, I misunderstood.

Alec

 

[carlos 318is]

So that should be ok then to use the rattle can on the filler parts and celle over the rest of it

 

[piman]

Hello Carlos,

yes that'll be fine.

I personally wouldn't use rattle cans, they don't have much build and if your using celly primer just use it on all of it or am i missing something ?
