Great rattle can paint, Krylon Options

[Randal]

If you're going to get a rattle can for any paint work, try the new Krylon one with the blue tip. I asked the TS guys at Krylon and they said all cans should now have this tip - as they've been manufacturing nothing else since January.

Anyway, IT PAINTS GREAT! Much bigger pattern, so you don't have to keep going over and over again and setting yourself up for runs.

You can also adjust this tip to change your pattern. Haven't tried that yet, but will shortly.

I've always liked Krylon as it holds up. Also like Rustoleum, but that stuff is, IMHO, very hard to paint, especially on wheels.

the hood - just used the green tape at the FLAPS where I got the paint cans to make the lines. Easy, cheezy to do if you want to add a racing stripe and the lines are REALLY good with the green stuff (not the blue painters tape - it doesn't stick to the car well at all and I ended up using it only to hold paper over areas I didn't want painted).



as you can see, I wasted no time on dings and dents for a race car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Love the louvers. That is what I need on 222, pointing the other direction on the light weight aluminum engine hood I'm building, (replacing the total screen GT lid).

I couldn't find any big ones like that on the internet. Lots of hot rod louver panels, but nada panels like yours.

Did you make those? Beautiful.

Took me forever to find some nice large louvers online... lemme get you a link. They weren't cheap because I could only get 'em in CF (and NOT a finished piece BTW, they needed paint to look decent). Genesis is the maker but I bought them from elsewhere, not Genesis direct, as I found a place that sold them cheaper than going direct.

Lemme look around online a bit and I will come back and edit in a link. Look for Genesis louvers tho' - the roof louvers are also theirs. I think it was HPR where I got 'em - BRB.

edit - yep, little dyslexic in my memory, HRP tho' is where I got 'em. A quick Google shows a fair amount of suppliers now and they all seem to be right at $135 each. Again, I am no body guy and have never laid up glass or CF so I am sure they could be made much cheaper, but frankly my time is more valuable than what it would take to lay a pair up. I would rather just go to work for a few hours and call it even hahahaha. Oh yeah, I have bought from HRP a couple times now and they have been really good about having what they say and getting is shipped right out, so I recommend them. But always check price, they are not always the cheapest. In the couple cases I have bought from them they have been same price as elsewhere but I have seen some expensive stuff from them found elsewhere cheaper.
