DIY Resprays

[REMUS]

Has anyone ever attempted one? I've resprayed panels before but never an entire car.

Any guides on the net? I've taken a quick look but I hav't had a chance to look very far.

you can get a decent finish with aerosols but ....you really need a gun
i sprayed a panel on the uno once an it came out no bad just slightly orange peely . i think orange peel is the most common problem.

oh i have a decent spray system (well my dad does) although I will definately need to get a better spray gun than we have atm.

you doing it in the garage, remember the weather affects the finish aswell, a cloudy day will cause the paint to look a wee bit flat, the best time to do it i believe is on a bright dry day, there aint many of those about at the moment though.

I'll be doing it in a garage I guess, do you think I will need to sand the panels all the way down and put a coat of primer down followed by the gloss black or just make a key on the current paintwork for the new layer?

I will polish any flatness out with T-cut after I have put 3-4 coats on I just really hope it doesnt run anywhere!
