paint help thread

[tylerb]

I figured I would start a paint help thread..

if you need help or guidance or wanna know if something will work or how a certain design is done just post up and I will be glad to help...I'm sure omiotek and Gestapo will too...they are both very knowledgeable in this subject aswell...

[Omiotek]

Not a bad idea. Just remember don't give free knowledge away. Its wise for someone to at minimum do research then ask questions. I find knowledge being more valuable to the person asking then

[tylerb]

well of course...this is more for technique anwill it work type stuff

[The_cobalt_kid]

have you guys ever tried decanning cliper paint to spray it through an airbrush?

J/W cause i got my airbrushes from home in the mail....

[tylerb]

negative on that.. LOL...why not get the brush on stuff and thin it out??

[tylerb]

and why do you wanna do this an what's you project...you can pm if you'd like I can keep my mouth shut if its secret but there may be a better solution to your situation. ..

[The_cobalt_kid]

lol no secrets just looking to paint my calipers w/my airbrushes, but don't know of any good high temp sprayable paint, and i got buddies that want theirs done (an EVO, Scion TC, etc etc)

[The_cobalt_kid]

i'm gonna do interior pieces too, but thats easier to find paint for.

[tylerb]

yea...I would say take the can stuff and thin it out...but I don't know...I have never been a fan of the Colors they offer so I have never cared for that paint.

[The_cobalt_kid]

i'm probably just gonna do black or blue to match the car (ish) so its gonna be pretty easy to find ESP if i do black

[tylerb]

understood...I'm gonna let Matt put his 2cents in on this tho

[The_cobalt_kid]

Omiotek is matt? lol

[tylerb]

yes..lol

[Omiotek]

Ill chime in whn I get home tonight. Good explanation but too long to type on my blackberry right now

[M-Dub]

I suck at painting... can you help me?

[tylerb]

dubbie...what is your problems...we will go from there...

[M-Dub]

LOL I just don't know how to do it.... every paint project I have attempted failed.... so I have since given up.

LIke I really wanna do my interior trim in a flat/satin black but don't want to do it...

I had to have Gestapo007 fix my evo mod for me... although he did a KICKASS job at it and am glad I had him do it.

[Omiotek]

Dubbie I told you man. Send it allllll over I got you taken care of

[M-Dub]

I know... I just don't like bothering people....
