Paint Jobs

Don't, it will come off whatever you do. If you don't like the colour, best to get another cover.

depending of the condition of the sheet metal before painting .just use the same of good automotive primer

How to sand blast paint from metal? With abrasive blasting equipment. For more detail, ask a more specific question.

Ok, well, there are a couple of reasons why paint is used. The first is to seal and protect walls that today are usually sheet-rock and plaster. Since these are porous materials, paint is used to seal and protect them against mold, mildew, dirt, and grime. The other is purely decorative. Everyone wants to live in an environment that reflects their personality and makes them feel comfortable. This is a quick and inexpensive way to embelish your personal space and express yourself. Businesses take great advantage of this aspect. They can project their image and set a mood to get a message across to their clients.

Normally you shouldn't paint below 50 degrees, but with epoxy its more 'thick' and usually takes longer to fully cure/dry so it should be good till 40 degrees or so.

The car needs to be "prepped" before changing the color. If there are surface imperfections that need to be fixed, then that would also be done. Do you want to just do the outside or do you want the door jams,inside of hood, etc. If the car is in decent shape, it just needs to be sanded, everything masked off that you don't want painted (or need painted) and the painted.

It sounds easy but it isn't. Most DIYers would do this over a few weekends. A few weekends prepping than an entire weekend painting.

All of the answers below are correct. I'll just add one point. After you put the paint on the part that was previously rusted, put an anti-rust treatment to avoid recurrence of rust or migrating to other parts.

You're kidding right? Even pros have a tough time doing this-killing the rust- and at the same time, trying to get paint mixes to match up with oddball colors.

I've repaired many a rust spot with nail polish. It comes in a wide array of colors and lasts a long time. If the rust spreads, just add more. Your car might not look perfect, but it's a really cheap method that works.

to do it cheaply you need the basic tools first, i.e grinder, wire brush, ect. Take and either sand//grind the heck out of the rust till its gone, if possible, or cut the rust out and repair with body sheet metal or the same place off of a different car froma junk yard. If you want a cheap paint then buy a spray can of the same color from an auto parts store and go to town.

Unless the paint is black or white, you will have a hard time trying to duplicate the exact color enough to make the patch undetectable. Trying to paint the patch and get the paint surface to be perfectly flush with the surrounding area is also very difficult. If you really must do it yourself, take it slow and be careful. You might want to try on a practice piece before you do the actual work on you car.

Be careful with the sanding. Use very fine grit paper to feather the area before painting. Ensure that you remove all of the sanding dust. Any speck of dust will show up in the finished surface. A rubbing compound or polishing compound should be used to blend the repair into the surrounding area.

I think if you just slap a coat of paint over the rust, it'll eventually just rust out again, and there's no point of that. A cheap solution that I used is to get some rust coverter (8 bucks cdn) and clean the rust area off and slap some of this solution on. After an hour or so, the solution should convert the rust into a black coating that acts as a protective sealant and primer. Now you can paint over the rust spot.

i think it comes from when you leave that thing wet and outside or in a dusty room or garage the the water , dust and dirt particles join and eat away whatever that thing is and that's how it becomes rust

Basically, moisture (and impurities contained in the moisture) and air help each other to eat away at the surface of metal, mainly metals with some quantity of iron in them (I think).

Imagine moisture has the knife and air has the fork.....put them together and they have an evening of fine dining at the metal restaurant!!

At least this is the nearest I can get it in layman's terms.

Use the audio amplifier thing. and wear the uniform with the ducks. i think its called the GA-KO uniform. It makes the frogs croak. Use the amplifier to pinpoint on where they are. The Official Stratergy Guide has a whole section dedicated to this, each section of the game has a map, and even a screen shot of the kerotan frogs. This is how I found them all. [Plus the gako camo helps to sniff 'em out.

Ok i always wax my own laces because you save lots of money a year. what you have to do is get some transparent wax ...next pour some into a little container...next through your laces into it and then take them out (make sure they are very soaked) next put them in a washing mashine (still with alot of wax on it) and then you put the option drain and spin (or something like that) then when its done throw them in the dryer and there you go..... when you take the laces out of the washing mashine it might still be unwaxed but when it drys you will feel it!!

Rub it with Goof Off, this will NOT damage modern auto paint, I've tested it on 3 different makes.

A ratio stick is preprinted stick, either metal or plastic, that allows a user to properly mix paint products. Most paint companies use proportional mixing to insure the correct amounts of each component is added to the final sprayable mixture, (ie. the proper amount of catalyst, and solvent, for automotive clear coat.) Keeping the chemistry viable is crucial to the longevity and durability of the final paint job. Ratio sticks allow a user to mix any amount of product, large or small, and keep the ratios exactly accurate. Each ratio stick is marked differently, but principle is the same.

no Nothing violates that law.

Yes, you can use silicone spray on car paint, but it should be done cautiously. Silicone spray can provide a temporary shine and protect against moisture, but it may also attract dirt and grime. It's essential to ensure the spray is silicone-based and safe for automotive finishes to avoid any potential damage. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first before applying it to the entire surface.

You should use no more than about 55 ccs or two ounces of thinner to a litre of paint. Always check the instructions on the label to make sure.

Yes, Varsol, which is a mineral spirits or paint thinner, can be used to remove paint from glass. It effectively dissolves many types of paint without scratching the glass surface. However, it's important to use it in a well-ventilated area and follow safety guidelines, as it can be flammable and produce harmful fumes. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the glass.
