Paint advice - any guides/suggestions/advice

[mattmk1]

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice regarding paint, I'm looking to respray a mini at some point soon, last time I did it, I used a Cellulose paint on top of halfords primer after taking off the shiny coating of the car... so all in all a rubbish way of doing things, but tbh it worked for that one it coated it all and I was happy enough with the finish, this time I'm hoping to do it better, so any advice or guides on primers/paints/techniques anything that may be useful.

If this has already been answered a link would be appreciated, many thanks

Matt

So far I've figured from google, that 1k is rubbish, 2k is great (but if you don't have a booth and an air fed mask you'll probably die a slow and painful death) and cellulose can good, or can shrink, crack and loose its shine after a short amount of time...

...any recommendations?

get a decent mask , use 2k unless you don't mind flatting and polishing , although youll need to do it anyways , only need to prime repairs and any paint thats been broken , unless your painting a light colour over red as that needs priming as they say it bleeds through ,

fit a extracter fan to pull the fumes out the garage , I used a car rad fan and it worked fine ,

look on youtube for guides , theres plenty on there,.
