Thread: Fire wall painting in process

Tweet

i've recently sprayed my fire wall using dp40lf .I like to have a show quality paint job so what exactly do you guys suggest i do next . painting the fire wall using House of kolors zenith gold .

how many times did you prime it and block it before you sealed it? with dp40

If you sprayed the DPLF 40 over properly treated bare steel and it is smooth , you can lightly sand the DP ( if it has set 72 hours or more ) then spray color.

If the fire wall still has minor flaws and scratches , you can spray 2-3 coats of K-36 , let dry and sand , then spray 1 coat of the DP over the sanded K-36, then spray color.

Happy Painting :-)

I welded a plate to the fire wall to elimimate all the holes not being used so very little body work had tobe done. So I can lightly sand it and spray the color. I've never sprayed any HOK and was thinking about tricking ou the paint a little mybe adding flakes or a gold pearl.Probably use trans-star as my clear coat. I dont have very much experience so please correct my process.

if you want it nice you need to prime and block it i did mine that way

definately prime and block before spraying color. especially if it has a lot of metallic, the metallic will show flaws like crazy prime and block if you want a show quality finish.
