    Full Respray

    Hi peeps,

    Has anybody got a right up of procedures on how to do a full car respray?
    I have the time and effort to put in. Would like to give it a go at home as a little/big project.
    Pictures, prices and steps for a backyard job.
    How would it look like without an oven to bake it in?

    Any info would be a great learning tool.
    Is it possible to get a decent finish?

    Many thanks in adavanced.

    Or even anyone who can do resprays cheap please let me know. Willing to do some prep work myself.

    Youtube has a lot of helpful videos too.
    It's a specialist skill (in my opinion) so you should take a good look into any information you're given.

    Yes it's possible to get a decent finish.

    Google has plenty of info.

    An oven isn't required since you will be using Acrylic paint. Or you can hire out a booth and spray 2pak which is more expensive and requires more skill.

    Basic run down of what's required:

    Colour of your choice 4L = $150 - $500 (depending on colour)
    Acrylic thinners 4-8L = $100~
    Various sheets of sandpaper [wet/dry] = $20~
    Sanding block = $1~
    Air Compressor (Super Cheap Auto has these on special quite frequently with kits) = $150 - $300
    Acrylic Clear 4L = $80~
    Acrylic Primer 4L = $60~
    Masking Tape [few rolls depending on how much you use] = $5 - $15~
    Drop sheets = $5 - $10
    Wax & Grease Remover 1-5L = $10 - $30

    Optional:
    Spray putty/High Fill = $15~/Can (Fixing small imperfections)
    Bog/Filler = $15~
    Applicator = $5~
    Guide Coat 1L - $20~

    Time: 1 Day ~ 1 Month

    Weather - 24-30 degrees low humidity low wind

    Where can booths be hired? just a general paint shop?

    i recommend you to use acrylic paint rather than 2pak

    if you make a mistake using 2pak you can't really fix it cos you paint once and plus you need an oven spray booth

    on the other hand with acrylic paint if you make a mistake i.e paint and it's drip shows you can use sand paper to fix it before using the final clear coat

    also acrylic paint is cheaper

    Why do it acrylic when charliebrown will do it for you in 2pak, cheap as fuk & properly in a proper spray booth.
