i tot you must mix with thinner? for paint brush, i read before mix with retarder better, it slows down the drying process and lets gravity do its job for the consistent look

QUOTE('62jaguar @ May 2 2014, 12:19 PM) so far, haven't sand off my decals yet bro... the red came off until i can see the silver, wahahahahhaha normally will clear coat (4 or 5 light coats - 10 to 15 minutes between)..then let dry for 1 day to harden.. then wet sand to get smooth and even surface..then polish, after that wax.. the clear red cam off onli a bit aa? if yes, that's normal okok , so i need to have a few light coats of clear coat only then i do the process of polishing? i went straight ahead without an coating yesterday night doing my virgin spray on alclad 2 paints, not bad, although i was expecting more from it |

QUOTE(limfreelance @ May 5 2014, 11:30 AM) i encounted problem of using enamel, & from that day on i only use laquer based. ok, this batch i try using lacquer base gaia gloss blackfor color selection, i use laquer to mix it out. metal color easi to chipped off, suggest use a super Clear gloss II as topcoat. would the super clear gloss II dull the brightness? i remember reading that it should not be coated, especially for those chrome or polished aluminium |
