If there is any wax or stubborn dirt, try wiping it off using cellulose thinner. This will help to dissolve the wax and baked on dirt. Wipe the cellulose thinner over the area using an old cloth. You will only need a small amount as it is extremely potent. Always use cellulose thinner in a well-ventilated area as the fumes can be toxic. Cover any areas not being painted using painters tape and paper. Rip off pieces of painters tape and use them to cover any exposed surfaces that you don't want paint on.
If you are trying to cover a large surface, such as a window, tape pieces of paper over the surface to protect it from the spray paint. Part 2. Choose a sheltered and well-ventilated location to use the spray cans. Aerosols work best in warm, dry and sheltered conditions.
Work inside a well-ventilated garage if it is cold and damp outside. Avoid humidity if possible as this makes it harder for the paint to dry. Wear safety goggles and a dust mask to protect yourself from the paint fumes and dust.
Apply 3 coats of primer, waiting 15 minutes between each coat. Apply the primer to the car from 25 centimetres 9. Spray primer over the entire surface that you will be painting. Gently push down the spray button and move the can across the area using even, back and forth strokes. Move at a consistent pace to achieve an even coat.
Wait 15 minutes before applying the next coat of primer. You will need at least 3 coats in order to get an even covering. Allow the area to dry for at least 24 hours after the last primer coat. Sand the area with grit wet and dry paper until it is smooth. Wet the sandpaper and rub it back and forth over the area until the primer coat is smooth and even. If you are sanding a large area you may need multiple pieces of sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish.
Clean the area with warm, soapy water. Remove the dust from the car using warm, soapy water on a cloth. Rinse the car to remove the soap suds and then dry the area with a towel or wait for it to air dry. Part 3. Shake the paint can for at least 3 minutes.
The pigments in the paint separate over time so you will need to shake the can vigorously to re-combine them. If you have already shaken and used the can within the last 12 hours you will only need to shake the can for 1 minute. Test the paint on a spare piece of cardboard. Hold the can about 25 centimetres 9. Check the card to make sure that the paint has sprayed evenly. If it is patchy, shake the can for a few more minutes.
Spray the paint onto the car, using horizontal strokes. Push down the spray button and spray the paint over the car using even, back and forth strokes. Take care to keep the can parallel to the car as you move your arm across the area. Continue spraying until the area has a light even coat. Move your arm across the area at a consistent speed to achieve an even coat.
Apply at least 2 coats of paint, with a minute break between coats. Applying multiple coats of paints will give an even surface to the car. Wait 10 minutes before applying the next coat. The paint should still be slightly sticky, this helps the next coat to stick and blend into the previous coat. Spray a coat of clear paint over the area using a horizontal motion. Push the spray button and move the can along the area in a smooth motion over the surface you have already painted.
This will help to protect the paint from the UV rays in the sun. Leave this coat to dry for 24 hours before using the car.
After ruthless road salt, a few logs, more than a few brush and stick clearing sessions, and an occasional boulder bash, this Montero was left with some paintless and rusty spots that required some attention ahead of the annual New England corrosion season.
Modern technology has made it possible to order up everything required to finish a touch-up task with factory color-matched paint in an aerosol can without the giant investment in compressors, dryers, paint guns, reducers, filters, and so on.
The first step is to figure out the factory paint code from the underhood VIN tag. I sourced an aerosol from an auto parts store a few years back, but this time around I turned to the miracle of the internet and paint code databases. I cross-referenced the code by year, make, and model on the Automotive Touchup website and placed the order. When the paint arrived, I hit one of the color match cards with the basecoat to make sure it was a match before starting in on any bodywork, grinding, and sanding.
Scrub down the area in question with soapy water or degreaser. I figured dents and dings added some battle-scarred character to the Montero and focused on the rust spots. Say hello to your old pal Bondo, mix up some Tiger Hair, or fill any offending deep scratches or chips with body putty then sand it all down in stages.
Keep sanding and work out to finer grits. Power tools are OK to start with but hand sand with the contour of the body on the way out. Mask off and prime. Sand the primer out your finest grit and then clean everything up.
Some naptha on a microfiber cloth pulled all this gak off even though the area looked clean. Sanding Step 3: Sand Give your paint a smooth and even surface onto which it can adhere — sand your entire vehicle using circular motions, either all the way to the bare metal, to the original primer, or at least enough for your new coat of paint to adhere to.
Step 4: Clean Using a rag and denatured alcohol or mineral spirits, wipe down all surfaces of your vehicle thoroughly, to remove any oil residue and ready it for painting.
Priming Step 6: Prime If you have sanded down your vehicle to the bare metal, you will want to use a corrosion-resistant and self-etching primer in order to prime the surface of your car.
Step 7: Allow primer to cure If you removed any rust, make sure to prime these properly by feathering them until they are smooth and applying enough primer to the areas. Step 8: Sand once more Sand the newly primed surfaces once more, but be sure not to sand too much and expose the metal surface again. Step 9: Wipe down Wipe the primed surfaces with a rag slightly dampened with thinner. Step Sand and Wipe Before you apply your last coat, sand the surfaces once more to remove powdery residue, then wipe with a clean rag.
Step Apply lacquer Apply a clear coat lacquer, using the same painting technique. Step Remove masking tape Remove masking tape while the clear coat is still wet, then allow the clear coat to dry according to your manufacturer.
Step Buff Using circular motions, complete your paint job by buffing out all painted surfaces. Car Category. October 30, Facebook Twitter Courriel.
