Decent Sprays?

masteroftherealm

Anyone whos done custom spray jobs have any reccomendations for decent spray paints available in Dublin.
Looking for really good metallics in Black and Bright Alien Green will pay well for them?
Oh and glitter clear coat?

Go into a decent car spares shop, they usually have Holts Spraypaint. I used it on 2 of my cases and it came out very nicely. The spares shop in navan also had a large range of colours to choose from so that was nice . Remember though - Sand-spray-sand-spray-sand-clearcoat. Think thats the routine, there are loads of good guides on the net.
The first time i did it i couldnt be bothered with all the sanding, i was stupid, it comes out so much better if you put the work in .

Yeah the holts black is good but they dont have a bright green. Would u check the store in navan cause the place i know has a limited selection, Im looking for some thing like this

Go to tallaght autoparts, off the greenhills road... They'll match any car colour u can find, all u need is the code. They can also give u the catalogue of colours n u can pic one from that... There's a s**t load of colours... Its the best quality spray u can get as its basically the same paint thats used on cars

Cheers dude.

Don't go spraying cases in your garage this time of year. The cold will make a balls of it.
If you can fit it in an oven/temperature-controlled area, do so. Cook (cure) the paint.
I assume you've either enough experience or enough reading-up done to know about undercoat, spraying technique, patience etc. :v:

What i did was stick a couple of rads in the garage(i had a few oil filled rads) n it kept it nice n toasty for the few days i spent doing my case..

Sounds like a cool idea, just make you spray VERY light coats, keep sanding between coats. 3 or 4 light coats should do it and then a clear coat, just dont get lazy and put 2 heavy coats on it, you'll make a balls out of it

masteroftherealm

Heh yeah I did that with my first case! Big mistake. This is my 6th though :v:

masteroftherealm

They do a couple of paints like Glasurit & House of Kolor.
