Spray Cans

[dsh85]

Has anyone sprayed their saxos using the halfords set? just wondering wat results u got. i was thinkin of sprayin the black bit under the front bumper of a vtr, moneywise it would be a good choice n all smileys/smiley2.gif
opinions plz?

thanks. danny

In theory it could work but unless your really skilled with the can i wouldnt attempt it.... you could end up paying alot more to have the problem fixed

i did a fuel cap on me old car and that was spot on. but that wernt metallic.

[welshy2k]

its really up to u just make sure u mask the car off so no overspray could get on the other bodywork and you should be fine

[dsh85]

well if it goes wrong its an excuse for gettin summit else done at the front smileys/smiley17.gif

[welshy2k]

yeah it would be that lol new front bumper maybe smileys/smiley17.gif

dsh, i have sprayed both my skirts side strips base plates, splitter etc using that kit, all looks sweeet as mate, even had a few chaps from in here saying nice job, smileys/smiley2.gif ensure that u keep the correct distance and try to keep the cans constant from start to finish, otherwise u get patches, let me know who you get on matey. smileys/smiley20.gif

[stevossaxo]

i had a search for ur pics stevesaxo to have a look. very nice if it comes out as well as that then ill be very happy smileys/smiley14.gif look forward to seeing these pics aswell

[welshy2k]

as i said b4 buddy just mask up around the area your painting and you should be fine smileys/smiley4.gif i i did my own now smileys/sad.gif i paid £250 orgionally to have my car colour coded

[dsh85]

done it! took 3 hours with waiting to dry n that, much better than the two 24 hour waits it advises on the cans! looks good. i had visions of it being a totally diffrenct shade of blue but was wrong!! only problem i had was unmasking were it lifted a small bit of paint which i pushed bak down as soon as. hope itll be alrite smileys/smiley14.gif not noticable at all tho

pics? i would leave the spraying to the bodyshop to be honest. but if your confident with it then by all means give it a go.

[dsh85]

[Dan]
