Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.
Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG) |

i think @Superhawk996 is right. if you know what you are doing urethane based paint is fine. i don't paint. but i get it all ready for mike to do. he paints when he has to at the end of the day and we clear the hell out. everything gets covered in plastic sheets. he gets all rigged up with resirators etc. we don't have a paint booth or room. we have thought about knocking one up. but mostly its individual panels get painted in the back corner so its not really worth the trouble yet.
i got a feeling the falcon ute might have been done with urethane. i can ask. two coats with about 20 minutes between. its only a misery if it starts going wrong for some reason on the first coat. contaminants or something affecting the paint. humidity whatever. even temp can mess you up down here if it gets too hot or too cold on the day when its planned to happen. its toxic as hell which is why i think a lot of professional painters are not excited about doing it anymore. but the exposure from one job with the right gear on to protect isn't going to worry you. its the guys who have to do it day in and day out that really want to avoid it these days. |
