|
|
My Standard 8 was sprayed with black cellulose about 6-7 years ago, and although I have kept the paintwork well polished, scratches and other blemishes are now showing through. If I want to repaint the bonnet top and roof with coach paint and leave the 'good' cellulose paint areas can I paint over the cellulose and how do I prevent an obvious joint between the coach and cellulose paint?

Is there any reason in particular that you want to use coach paint? Oil based over cellulose is ok, but if anyone attempts to pant with cellulose over the oil base in the future they will get a reaction.
I'd spray in cellulose and blend in by moving the gun away where you meet the good paint, cut in when the paint is cured, or you can use fade out thinner.

Thank you for your response. As I do not have a spray gun all my painting is going to be done by brush and the only experience of brush painting was on a motor bike many years ago.
If I can use an oil based paint that's ok providing is can be applied with a brush. I'm not really worried about a future owner respraying the car with cellulose.....
What oil based paint is recommended and does it require a primer?

I would suggest Dave has the answer.
However, if you don't have a compressor and gun and don't wish to invest in one why not do the job with rattle cans? It is surprising how good a finish you can get - much better than brush painting (i.m.o.).
Your call, of course. |

To get an answer to your actual question, you could have a look at the Craftmaster Paints UK website. They make traditional enamel paints for all types of vehicles boats and stationary engines for brushing or spraying.
You can also ring them up for advice. Very helpful. |

Back in the dim distant past I hand painted a V8 Pilot with Valspar (is that still available?) After using plenty of rubbing down compound and plenty of old fashioned wax polish it was good enough to pass as a cheap respray

Hi
I'm sure I've seen Valspar somewhere in the last couple of years.
https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/
There is a store finder on there.
My father sprayed our Austin TenFour with Valspar, I can't remember how much thinners he had to use but it was probably a fair bit, using a cylinder vacuum cleaner spray attachment, which of course was plugged in to the outlet end.
That was a feature of cylinder type cleaners having a hose fitting at each end I don't think any modern vacuums have that facility. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Whilst on the topic of hand-painting vehicle bodywork....can I offer the method of using a roller to apply the colour, followed immediately by a brush to even things out?
I have seen one or two YouTube videos of this technique, and , by my somewhat reduced standards in this department, it seemed a useful technique? _________________ Dellow Mk2, 1951 built, reg 1952.

These days a gun and small compressor can be bought for less than £100, so why use coach paint?
