Cheers, mate. That's the sort of clear advice I need when it comes to paint. Hadn't thought of the volatile stuff in there. I'll probably go for a good primer as you have. I am hoping to get the red as close to the rioja red, which is the original shade of red as the vehicle, doubt rustoleum do that
No worries. A good primer and top coat will be fine. Epoxy primer is meant to be very good. Not used it myself yet but I've only heard good things.
Nope I doubt rustoleum will do rioja red either Thought you just wanted to paint them red
Just want to add my thanks for this thread, Aaron. Can't wait to get a Landy of my own. Trouble is, I probably won't be able to take it completely to pieces because I'll need to drive it!! Dilemmas of Landy ownership! :decision:
Cheers Good look with finding a Landy.
Taking it to pieces is all part of the fun (Well for me it is)
That's why you need two. One in bits and a daily driver
The primer color will have effect on what shade the finish paint will have a light color primer will have a brighter red , than a black/dark primer will give a deeper darker color with the same paint. as well as air pressure will effect color and the thinners. right every thing down when doing the job in sections. air psi and very accurate measurements of paint, thinner, and hardener,
