pls. help me in top coating of my mc and re-paint of mags...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning po mga sir/maam...buti nalang nakita ko tong tambayan nio...very usefull po itong site na to...

Advice naman po kayo ng mga need ko gamitin at kung ano maganda...

3m brand ng sticker

1.

mag DIY kasi ako ng top coat para sa replica ng fury ko...para maging permanent na ung sticker sa flairings at iwas tuklap na rin...

gusto ko sana ung glossy....ano po ba ma-aadvice nio na gamitin ko? pag nag top coat po ba sa stickers sa buong flairings e kelangan pa ba ng primer o direcho top coat agad?

[COLOR="Blue"]sir, anong type ba ng paint ang gagamitin mo? automotive or spray can lang po ba?

mas maganda kung mag start ka from primer to top coat para looks new and fresh ang motor mo. start by wet sanding your flarings hanggang maalis ang top coat nya, kung kaya mo lihain hanggang base coat mas maganda...primer, then kung may mga imperfections sa surface mo, gamit ka ng body filler, liha, then primer ulit. liha, base coat, liha, dikit sticker, top coat. liha then buff 🙂

2.

plan ko rin re-paint ng mags..ano ba mga kelangan? ano maganda pang primer at pang finalize ng color?

gusto ko kasi ung red na parang reflectorized na paint..may nakikita kasi ako nun na parang reflectorrized ung paint ng mags nila...

[COLOR="Blue"]if automotive paint gagamitin mo for plastic flairings, yung Nippon PP Primer, for bakal use Anzahl Primer.

hindi ba sir mettalic red ang sinasabi mo?
kung red gagamitin mo, after primer paint, mag coat ka muna ng white, then yung red color na gusto mo para mas matingkad pagkaka red nya, then top coat...

this is just a basic po...

sana may tumulong...pls pls pls....

Your already thinking of top coat, I guess your paint is still good. As long as there is existing paint you should have a thinner test. So that the existing paint wont strip off..

Test it in some unseen area using a cotton bud to know what kind of paint was previously used.. we do not want existing paint to bubble up or be stripped off.

If existing paint is enamel based.. it will strip off and create bubbles when lacquer or acrylic lacquer is applied..

If existing paint is lacquer based.. it will strip off and create bubbles when acrylic lacquer or urethane is applied..

About the mags, use a metal base primer for alloys. Next paint it with your desired color. You may top coat it with clear top coat for gloss. Add a little color to your gloss to give it a tinted gloss effect.

You may add flo, Lacquer flo for lacquer, acrylic flo for acrylics.. its help the paint spread out evenly creating a superior shine quality..

If your on a low budget, used epoxy enamel, it is already shinny and is mixed with a catalyst so you do not need to prime it.. ( I use this in cabinets and stuff, not on cars.. but I know some people use it in jeeps)
