Old Red Celica Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I had my front wing sprayed (Astral Black) and it had laquer put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Poole Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Its paint made up by halfords. Dont trust the colour match of the rattle cans off the shelfs. So i get it made up and put in a can. The halfords book says you dont need laquer but i thought id check. Im guessing made up to order rattle cans arnt 2k?

joe588 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not essential for lacquer, may as well if you already have the stuff though. Just make sure to flat the paint down before you spray it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cait Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Not essential for lacquer, may as well if you already have the stuff though. Just make sure to flat the paint down before you spray it on. Is there a step by step guide for repainting bodykit coz I'm Skint or should I leave it a few months & pay professionals to do it (is it best left to the Professionals really ?)thx x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Dan I guess your right 1 of the guys at work has agreed to do the job, think he said either £170 or £180.. not gone into detailed discussion with him as yet so not sure if thats me buying the paint on top of this price ? Impatience is a terrible thing It will be poss near Sept/Oct before spare money is available for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
