you have to take the good with the bad and this year its had more bad than good

the weather really makes it quite if its raining and so on as people just doing seem to care about there car then lol

its when the suns out and there cleaning it they notice stuff and deside to have it done

 

but yes best day ive had is about 430 quid

just depends on the jobs and phone calls mate

 

and the water based paint now is really good for colour match

silvers can still be a bit tricky but better than the solvent paint ever was

any way good luck with it mate :thumbsup:

shame you cant get one of them dulux paint matcher scanner things but for cars, could use it to scan the existing paint and then get all the codes and mix amounts to make the paint, would make life a lot easier

at the mo you just get the paint code off the car

punch it into the laptop paint scheme which ever 1 you have

then it brings up a list and tells you how many shades of that colour there is ,and how much weight of each tinter to use , i always go for the standerd shade and 9 times out of 10 its good

if its an older car then its best to mop polish the panel next to were your going to paint so to get the paint back to its original colour

 

but silver are a fookin night mare

bit better since the water based come out tho

dont have a cvlue what you guys are talking bout now :)

 

but yeah kirk i allways use standard shade you cant realy go wrong then . im using leckler system or ppg will see the price difference first . i love the waterbase mate iv allways used it so solvent is more of a stranger to me now i find that the drop coat blends the waterbase out sweetly not used it much on the road thou i imagine its not to bad just use a heat gun and plenty of rocket in ya laquer should make up the time

 

what system are you using mate .

light sand to take the edges of then get an artists brush and run the brush down the edge let it dry do it again untill you have got the right build then clean brush and run some laquer down it on the brudh again

 

same aplys to bonnet chips just keep dabbing the chips in but this time use the wooden end of the paint brush it will be easyer to do and leave a nice bobble of paint in the chip

when fry a dab of laquer then when thats dry g3 it up

some colours work better than others with that method

 

but if your painting the car forget all that lol and just sand them down
