Hiya all, I'm new on these forums but they looked damn good!
Dont hassle me too much I'm from New Zealand so the products and terminologies here are a bit different from the USA.
I am about to embark on my second paint job ever, my first one I used PPG Acrylic Laquer system and it turned out quite well I think.
This time around I am going to try using a 2K product, hopefully a acrylic enamel.
From reading these forums I have come to the conclusion that I need to paint the car in the following order, can you please give me some advice so I know whether I am on the right track.
Brand Product Coats
------ --------------------- ---------
PPG Acid Etch Primer 2
--= Apply Body Filler =--
PPG 2k Primer/Filler BLACK 3
3M Dry Guide 1
--= BLOCK SAND =--
PPG 2k Primer/Filler BLACK 1
--= LIGHT SAND =--
PPG Color Coat WHITE (roof) 3-4
PPG Clear Coat (roof) 3
--= flash =--
PPG Clear Coat (roof) 2-3
--= MASK OFF THE ROOF =--
PPG Color Coat METBRG (body)3-4
PPG Clear Coat (body) 3
--= flash =--
PPG Clear Coat (body) 2-3
I am planning to use a Brittish Racing Green metallic pearl, PPG code 403201 on the body of the vehicle with a pepper white roof.
If any of you are wondering the car is a 1974 Austin Mini, not exactly a hot rod I know but maybe the next project will be!
I'm kind of new to this so any advice is really appreciated, especially on what paint system I should use.
