Satin blacking the BM

[Administrator]

Think trying to get the green right is going to break my heart so I'm gonna get some satin black and get painting tomorrow!

Sooo what's involved? Is a rub down by hand enough? Rattle cans or get a spray gun? How many cans would we be talking about? Is primer a must? Would you lacquer it? Any other tips appreciated

You'd want a pallet of spray can's save up and giv it to a panel beater..

better of with spray gun,
rub the hole car down,
spray hole car with primer for best finish then with water wet sand that with 800 wet and dry,
then apply your layers of paint drying each layer,
then laquer it, then wet sand with 2000 and buff finish compound then wax(sorry just a quick guide) you can buy 2pack paint in enniskillin that doesnt need laquer for 8pound a litre that would do the job
