Hi all, do we have any paint experts amongst us?
My van doesn't have a brilliant paint job but it does look decent and too good to justify a full respray, funds don't allow at the minute anyway!
There are a couple of issues I need to sort though. One is it's had a lazy spray job done with windows etc still fitted so I want to remove all my red under white borders and also the roof had been twatted on something at some point so there is a good size patch of surface rust on the roof and gutter.
I've got the paint shop colour matching me a 2k rattle can to the same white and this was there advice;
1. wire wheel the surface rust off
2. Sand the area and surrounding paint with P240
3. Prime
4. 2k
5. Blend paint and oversprayed area with P600
6. T Cut
Is this good advice?
My main concern is I have some primer over spray, so I decided to do a test area on it. So I gave it a rub with P600 as advised and T Cut it but just can't get it to shine. The test area is now matt white :shock: .
I worried I'm going to make it look worse than it did in the first place and need a full spray.
