Red oxide or satin black???

Right, looks like i need to replace all four wings, lower door repair panel, bonnet and a few other small bits on my bug so it looks like the og paint is gone..boo hoo

As i cant be arsed to paint the thing properly yet and its going to be a rolling resto should i go for racing red oxide or wetsuit black?

Im not really a fan of either but its not going to be forever.

black over red oxide for me

...although Dickie can probably do you a few different shades of Lada beige, he's got buckets of it

Red oxide looks like work in progress!! Also I don't think that it is porous, as in letting damp through like primer!

Then you can always put the black over it!



Mind you Crimbo and kimbo paint there rides on here with a clear wax stuff what works a treat!

What colour is the car?

Hearing aid beige



Im pretty sure red oxide is porous but im not sure about satin black.

Does anyone know which finish is better, satin or matt?

satin is less porous & smoother than matt but I'm not sure either are completely water-tight

A'int primer with Zinc in the steroid of primer's?????


I don't know but the bug looks cool mate!

On that bug go for the black - red oxide will look arse.

black

black

Is that applied with or without thinning is down 1st dude? When i spray celly i normally thin it down 50/50 but i guess that would be too runny if rolling it on?

How much of your bus have you painted using this method Dickie, just the lower front panel or...?

All of it I think

Really? Thats pretty impressive

all of the bottom half and all the roof as far as i no . he would do it all but the sign riting is a prob . its look that same as the sprayed bit in mat

mmmmm, might have to give this a go as my compressor died and i cant afford to replace it.

Thanks for the info guys/gals

Hi Crags, Dickie was giving Spellbound some advice on roller painting in one of the previous threads on this site, There was also a thread on vzi about it ages ago with lots of pics of different dubs done that way, Some very good examples on there
