A little painting help, please
There's a small area on my bumper which I was trying to improve the paint finish on (there was some lacquer run on it), but which I've rather messed up :( . I want to see if I can rectify the situation but I need a little help. I have a small amount of the correct paint (Wedgewood Blue 2, JBH), left over from a recent successful bodywork job (not done by me, I hasten to add). What is the process of applying this? I tried with a tiny paintbrush, after very vigorous and prolonged shaking of the can, but still ended up with a mixture of light and dark, presumably because of the separation of the metallic particles. Do I need to use a spray? I presume I need a couple of coats, then a couple of coats of lacquer as well. If anyone can talk me through this, I'd be most grateful.
PS Not sure now if the paint is metallic or pearlescent - what's the difference, and how can I tell? |
JBH is a Metalic Paint Wedgewood Blue 2.
Me and Painting? Now you really are having a laugh. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon10.gif So will have to wait someone who can advise on that part. |

The air brush gives very fine control - much finer than any aerosol can ever give so you can blend the repair in. You can also spray with fade-in thinners to blend it in further. (see paints4u.com who can also supply paint) Definitely worth a try. Ron |

The propellant is £9.39 but you could possibly use the spare tyre or a compressor (which I used). Ron |
I understand that metallics don't match up properly until laquered.
Is that right? TC |
