Re: Paint Mixing.........

Ok thanks for the tips. I'm a decorator by trade and when you buy paint there is a massive diff between dulux and some cheap nasty paint. Is that the same with celly? Or is it all pretty much the same?

Paint Mixing.........

Hi, Would appreciate any advice on mixing quantities for cellulose paints. This is for top coats. How much high gloss thinners do you use? And do you put in a splash of anti-bloomers as well?

Thanks

Spray Gun?

Hi, I know this isn't THE BEST gun in all the world but will it do the job? How do they work? Do you need a compressor for this type or is it a kind of pump to pressurise device? Your comments will be appreciated. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEALEY-TOOLS-S701-PROFESSIONAL-PAINT-GOLD-SPRAY-GUN-NEW-/1904407...

'CREAM' Coach-line

Ok, I'm currently doing a respray, and now want to find a stick on coach-line for my Trafalgar blue Traveller. My problem is I can't find a cream one anywhere, I can find every colour under the sun bar cream. Can anyone please help?

Re: paint - professional or DIY spraying?

Hi, I was in the same situation as you are. I had a quote for a respray, for only about £600, think it was a quick blow over, but I know that I'm really picky and wouldn't have been happy if hadn't done a really good job. So I decided to do it myself. I have a garage which I'm currently doing the sp...
