Sorry to go off topic......:o I remembered I have some acrylic in the shed that has just straight brown tint in it, I think it also has matting agent. I was goint to use it on a chasiss. I am thinking I will use it as a colour coat over my existing hi-fill which is a dark creamy yellow. Then do that rub back thing to get it to look a little old and rub through the colour a bit then a clear coat on top to lift it a touch.....Consensus?

Hi there Mr.Pickle :3dSMILE: ,
How long as this paint been in the shed? if its been over a year i dont think I would use it, just my oppinion.
If you are going to do this you still need to make sure you catylize the paint so your clear is compatiable with the fade out paint job.
You need to decide on what material your going to use ( Acrylic Enamel, Acrylic Ureathane, ect.....)
and get the clear that will go over the top of the paint so all your hard earned work doesnt blow up on you .
you will also have to spray it all so you can achieve this as if you try to brush the color and spray the clear it might lift, and even if you try brushing all of it , it still might lift.
I,m not trying to crush your dream paint job , just trying to give some advice as these products were designed to be sprayed , not brushed.

I think I have moved from "Going to brush it" to Going to spray it" with an antiqued effect.
As for my paint it is acrylic laquer and would be about 8 mths old, I have the correct clear to go with it (same age). I like acrylic cause it doesn't hurt me to much. I can also give it as many coats as I like, in my shed. The high build primer I have used is also Acrylic. I have noticed though that the acrylic does not seem to stick as well to the "sikaflex" as enamel does but I can put up with that.:)
Thanks for lookin' out for me Streets...I need all the help I can get...:rolleyes: :p :rolleyes: :pQuote:

Gherkin - Would the nut shell brown / creamy yellow be close to a "nutter butter"???
That would mean your buggy would be a nutter butter pickle putter, right?:D
Since you are now talking about spraying and I am always thinking in terms of my own project, I want to ask a question of these paint experts. In a recent DIY-Network show there was a series on a buildup of a Deuce roadster in Boyd Coddington's shop. I was surprised that they did not seem to worry about "orange peel" from a heavy spray on the final coat because they did a lot of hand block wet sanding to finish it off. In the presence of a lady I will modify their comments about the paint which had to do with female cellulite, but we used to call it orange peel! Anyway, What this means to me is that one could do a pretty sloppy spay job in a home garage and then rub, rub rub with wet fine sand paper, finer than 200 grit. My question is what type of paint would allow this, in particular there are some pretty primary colors offered in Rustoleum enamel spray cans. Can that kind of paint be "rubbed out" when the inevitable novice spray errors occur? Maybe it is just better to pay an expert to do a good job with something like glossy acrylic. For that matter could a brushed-on paint job be wet block sanded to eliminate the brush ridges in a practical way or is this just a nightmare of rubbing? I suppose if this was applied to an early Ford Tub one could call it a rub-a-dub-tub?

Hmmmmm. I suppose to each his own. My preference is to lay it down as smooth as possible. May take more effort and skill, but it wastes less material (sanded off paint and abrasives), and ultimately takes less time. Newer products like the 3M system that you can attach to a d-a make it easier to do color sanding, but you're still grinding off costly material.
You'd have to work pretty hard, and spend lots of dough to get enough build with bomb cans to have material to sand smooth. And, again, if you could build enough material with a brush on you could sand that smooth too. But why?
And, of course, if you're not using a clear coat, colorsanding on single stage only works on solid colors, not metallics or pearls.
gherkin, Dont even think for a minute that acrylic lacquer isnt very harmful, its some of the worst stuff , just because it doesnt have a hardner doesnt mean that its not as bad for you, Lacquer is HIGH in VOC's and its why its trying to be fazed out !!!
And if your clear is a lacquer that is good, if its an Acrylic enamel and you do this paint job , you will have a non repairable paint job , as if you want to lay down some more lacquer color down over that enamel clear it will turn to cottage cheese real quick and all your efforts will be for nothing !!!

The 1st Model "T" Fords were brush painted with laquer and rubbed out.............not so far fetched.
If your body work sucks like mine usually does, it won't make much difference.
Good news everyone ITS ALL ACRYLIC LAQUER. So as soon as I get home....late next month....I will start the "rubbin and smoothin"....of course after the "rubbin and the smoothin" with the most important girl, but then the other stuff.......:whacked:
