Hi all- are there any fellows here with some spray painting experience who can offer advice on using 2pack? Can't see any older posts covering this... I know many will say, "leave it for a professional- especially on a Challenger!" Well, you are right, but this is my driver car, it has a 15+ year old two pack paint job already and i am saving my $$ for my 71 RT Clone. So i am doing as much as possible myself. I have a reasonable quality spray gun for the primer/filler and a good quality gravity feed gun with a fine nozzle for the colour.
The photos show where i am up to. I have treated and filled the rust holes with fibreglass filler and sanded back nice, ready for the two pack primer/filler. I have 1 litre of two pack computer matched to the colour and I will have to blend all these areas into the existing paint. After masking off the areas to be painted, these will be primed/filled with two-pack primer, then the edges sanded back flush. Note, the bog makes the damage look far worse than it was, most of the bog is just filling small depressions.
Then not sure how to blend in the new colour with the old to get as close to invisible seam. Is there a special technique, or do i still have to mask off? do i raise the mask off area, or just use a sheet or cover with the edge hanging down so that some deliberate overspray provides the blend? Maybe some clear over both new and old areas?
Thanks for any knowledgable suggestions.
