Daverse 175 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi guys,So now i've nearly (and about bloomin time!) rebuilt my engine, I've started looking at giving my gearbox and few other ancillaries, and maybe if i get brave enough tackle my engine and give it a lick of paint. Thing is I know nothing of spraying, I have a compressor, and thats about it! Could anyone give me a few pointers on, basically, everything! What guns are good? what paint / primer to use and where to get it from? Will have a few practice session on some newspaper and a few bits of metal I have laying around, but all help is welcome!! Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Brave man. I had a little play with raffle cans on the arse end of my C, turned out ok, but rest of car needs some major bodywork TLC Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 My theory is the gearbox is going to be not seen as much as everything as in the bay, so it doesn't matter too much. And it'll give me a bit of practice if i want to do anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 You'll need a paint that can withstand high temperature or when the engine gets hot it'll blister and peel off. On the block and box you'd prob be better just brushing it on as you won't be as accurate with a gun. Link to post Share on other sites
