How To Paint Fairings!!

[Haz]

I hope RD wasnt serious when he said "for a couple of dollars a can". I just paid 14 quid for 2 cans! THATS 35AUD! Where is this supercheap place?

Yeh you got ripped, sorry :P or maybe the uk is just generally more expensive place to be.

You got ripped off, they are cheap, not $17.50 each.

You can get spray paint from bunnings for $3 a can.

rd is spot-on. the prep work is the most important thing. the spray job doesn't really matter. when i was at tafe all the guys that were crap at sparying just loaded the paint on then sanded the paint flat slowly going through the paper grades then buffed the item nice and shiny.

Haz, i am not sure if you have this store in the U.K.

the spray job does really matter. when using pressure pack cans you must apply this paint at the specified distance for starters and only put on the required amount of paint then leave for one day and lightly sand back with the fine paper, repeat these coats as many times as needed with a sanding between.
