Bank Holiday Rattle Can
PHILIP2908:
Hello Everybody,
This is an old post which as you can see is titled 'Bank Holiday rattlecan' as I started this on May 31st last year - that's how long stuff takes when you've got a job like mine.
Having applied (badly) the candy apple red via a rattle can i then tried to do the same with spraying on 2K lacquer; made a mess of it and so handed it over to my local body shop who did this for £100.

The lacquer looks about 1mm thick and the shine literally deflects any attention away from the flaws in the candy paint. I'm really happy with it.
Total cost so far about £320. Should have handed it to a pro in the first place - would have been quicker and maybe cheaper.

That’s looking good Philip! Nice colour. What stage is the bike.?
Spitfire:
That looks seriously good, whatever the method it turned out right in the end which is the main thing.
Cheers
Dennis

Great job - looks really good. I also have a local sprayer that I use at similar cost and effect - I provide the correct paint/decals and he applies the finish (he gives me it back between coats for me to apply the decal as he is not an expert in specific classic bikes)

They look great, once the badges are on will be fab.
