I thought 2-pack should only be used with professional breathing equipment? He mentions the 2-pack paint but not the air mask etc....
Great finish tho.

i think he did it outside so it wasn't so bad, but he may not actually mean 2pack. who knows

[mini_sam]

what are the difference in these paints, 2pack?

mini-sam, i re-sprayed mine myself, if you want advice, ask the professionals where you're gonna be buying all the gear from. If they're anything like the ones i went to they'll be more than happy to!

They'll tell you all the right stuff to buy, how to do it properly and how to get the best finish.

There's probably loads of other guide on t'internet but i'm sure you've looked already! :wink:

2-pack = isocyanate = you either use a full-face mask supplied with positive pressure filtered air from your compressor or get very ill very quickly.

how about a kitchen extractor fan? :cheese:

[frostie]

are there "easier" colours to spray urself?? ie: which colours should i avoid??

i quite fancy flame red with black roof and black arches...would this be hard, or just as hard as everything else??

[Jackman]

White is hard to spray supposedly, you get it contaminiated and it will change shade.

[Pooky]

I redid my white roof and it came out better than my flame red areas.

This maybe because we did it last however so we were slightly more experienced?! still managed to get a big finger print on it tho!

'is it dry yet?!'

List of colours id be interested in which ones would be difficult...

- Tahiti Blue

- Flame Red

- Yellow

[Pooky]

I did flame red and you can see sanding marks through the paint bit of orange peel as well. Flame red's really common as well, be different! :grin:

Go for yellow! No idea what it sprays like but it's my fave mini colour!

[TJenkos]

Was it you that made the yellow one on that mini resource creater?

Thats what gave me the idea!

[Pooky]

mini resource creater

:erm:

I have no idea what that is!

Nope not me 'fraid
