Re: tip on painting

Post by Duke250 »

how long to I have to wait before I apply the dupli color primer filler on the repair area ? Also should I apply the primer filler on all the panel or just the repair area?
I had used the fiberglass repair and Bondo for my filler.

i used the duplicolor trim paint to prime it and then the bumper coat for my finish. Also they are flat black color no gloss in them . You can get those paint at an Auto parts store. Just apply those paints like the instruction say and it will come out nice with no runs.

forget about rustorleum spray paint.

Post by Duke250 »

have some updates on my Elite. I had all my plastic painted that satin black and now today I got most of my panels done too. Now I've used Duplicolor on my Honda elite and Rustorleum on Spree. I did that because i want to compare both together. Now I found out that Rustorleum if you take your time it can get the job done but take a long time to dry. By the time it is taking to dry it easy for anything to damage your work. Now with Duplicolor that thing dry so quick and buy the time something will go wrong with it . Duplicolor will be on its way to dry . Now with the can I like the way the duplicolor paint shoot the paint . It is easy to apply then rustorleum paint . Those are what my panels look like . I haven't apply the clear coat yet.
