blank finish

Just a query,

we may use different technical names / terms in UK but sure you guys will know what I`m talking about.

Metallic paint for vehicles. Many of these metallic paint require a spray laquer type finish to bring up the true colour. Any of you ever tried this as a blank finish for renovation????????

Are you talking about a undercoat to show through a candy or a clear overcoat? If a clear overcoat I would not recommend lacquer. It tends to yellow and/or crack with age and isnt very durable. A good urethane (2 part ) clear would work great. IMHO, I own a body shop and have been working with finishes of that type for over 30 years. Hope this helps.
HAGO!

The plasti-kote is a Auto finish in a spray can.
It can also be gotten in can for regular auto spray use.


But the clear like said should be either Permagloss-a urethaine or a auto 2 part urethaine

Check the link for a lot of info on it.

Thanks for the input guys. WAs just wondering. Permagloss etc aint available over here due to the flammable nature on air transport. Sea transport takes months. Plasti-kote I can get OK, does that work??
What I am talking about is a rod renovation where years of use has to be rubbed or sanded off a blank prior to re-wrapping. I then am trying to find a reasoably priced finish for the blank as I do`nt have any fancy spraying facilities, only a drying area which I do`nt want to contaminate by spray painting in. Aint got room for an additional spray area so need something simple.

If you are looking for that Transparent look you will have to tint a clear coat and then apply.
Just to paint a blank the plasti-kote will do it , some have said they do not clear, but a coat or two of something like permagloss or minwax spar urithaine over will help

Did you check out the link ?
