Painting the interior...

[leemarkadams]

Happy new year to all.....

 

Anyway, what is the best way to paint the interior of the Escort?

 

Is it using rattle cans, or using Hammerite smooth?

 

If Hammerite smooth, what is the best technique to avoid runs etc?

 

Thanks

The best way I can think of without any spray equipment is to go to your local paint factors and ask for some colour matched in the custom aerosols that a lot of these suppliers can make for you .Use these for the bits you see like the door tops etc inside,and for the bits you dont see use 2 pack paint.We all know its toxic and not for DIY spraying but if you mix just the hardener with it brush paint it! provided it doesnt get on your skin it wont hurt you if its not airbourne (sprayed) the brush marks will flow out on floors etc and also it will be the right colour as well.A mid range paint wont be much more money than a dirty great tin of smoothright either! Hope that helps

i used the spiecal vinyle paint from halfords , its expensive and comes out the can terrible as it has no fan on it so the paint drys streaky

Thanks for the replies, the car has no headlining etc, so looks like I will be doing a bit of sanding, masking, painting etc....deep joy

if you have the equipment mask it all up and get in there with the stoneguard gun and then prime and paint it.
