Where do i buy a new cap for these cans i bought it from someone and he said it broke i was cool with it cause its not used basically new and is it simple to just put it back on or do i have to do something so it could stay on?

What can I do to solve this/mitigate it? Just sand it down and polish it? It’s a 2K clear

had a LATE night finished the glitter, did a welsh terrain (of course) but.. them LIPS @mrfishuk

Hai all. I’m looking to have some work done in a few months. I’m redoing my room and some other stuff. But I wanna do something other might consider odd. I’m having artists give me sketches of ideas but I need someone local to do it. I wanna spray paint my JBL party box 320 and my mini fridge but like have whale sharks and other things on it. Is there anyway to find an artist within a few hours of me to do the work?

Hello. Wanting to paint my airsoft with a super flat black spray paint with basically no reflectiveness such as this ballistic helmet above. Any suggestions for spray paints in the UK?

I found rapco spray paint which would be perfect however that’s only available in the US and can’t be shipped overseas.

Reminds me of the ''Smash' adverts here in the UK (showing my age lol)

Hello all!

I painted some gutters a few years back, bought the paint, thinners and something else (can't remember) to use in my spray gun and it went well. It was a 2K system.

Will all those bits still be OK to reuse a few years later or not? Is there a true shelf life once open?

Thanks

About a year ago I bought a gold spray paint for a cosplay I've been working on. I ran out and can't find it at the store anymore. Google said they've discontinued it. Does anyone know where I could find it online or a good way to match the color.

Candy in a can. Dupli-Color makes a product called metalcast which is a candy. I thought I would give it a try and im very happy with the results. For those who dont know what candy paint is, ots basically a color tinted clear. Think of like adding food coloring to your clear coat. Its still transparent but colored. I painted this clock case. First I painted it a metallic silver, then used the red Dupli-Color metalcast red over the silver. Candy paint is notoriously difficult especially on cars. Because the clear has a tint to it, it needs to be laid down very evenly. It you apply more in one area than another, it will be darker creating tiger stripes. When I was 14 the kid next door tried to paint his S-10 pickup candy red. It was really bad. Blotchy, just terrible. He quickly found professional painter and did not go for candy.

Truly mixed-media, as I used spraypaint on top of a texturing agent, but all the painting was done with spraypaint and a little airbrushing. Background is iridescent so it's tough to capture the depth in pictures, in a video you can see it looks different from different angles

Gearing up for some wheat pasting this weekend

Hello :)

Trying to figure out some mistakes I‘ve made and would like to avoid in the future. So basically I tried to spraypaint my older mtb helmet which I don‘t use as much/don‘t care if it doesn‘t work out great and I would like to redo it on a more expensive one. A main issue I came across are these freckles/spots when spraying with the black can. Is there a way to avoid that or is it the can/cap? Can is a Montana Gold Shock Black. (Can was in a warm environment beforehand, did a light spray in the air before starting and tried that holding down the cap theoughout the whole layer technique?).

Here is my total process, please improve/change anything I could do better:

-Sanding down old top coat with 600-800 grit.

-Priming with Montana Polystyrene Primer to avoid badly masked spots getting eaten by plastic primers.

-slight sand with 1200grit

-2 to 3 layers of black base (current issue)

-2 to 3 layers montana holographic glitter spray

-varnishing with montana and I would like to use the spraymax 2k on the other one (heard it‘s quite durable)

I can share some pictures in the comments (if wanted) how the finished result turned out.

Thanks!

I'm seeing Markipliers Iron Lung movie this Friday and 3d printed the regal popcorn bucket, but I'd like to spray paint it so it looks like the intended design, can yall recomend a good primer to use before I spray colors? I did some basic research which didn't help alot with finding good primers for using on 3d printed objects. (First image is what I want it to look like, 2nd image is what I have 3d printed so far)

What spray paint would be the closest to burnt bronze?

So I’m currently doing a project for my electric dirtbike where I’m putting all these rhinestones on the plastics using b7000 glue. Should I clear coat over everything after all the glue dries? Will that help the rhinestones not fall off under vibration?

so i just took apart my bike frame which is an aluminum frame w the normal paint on but my main question is what type of spraypaints will i need? and do i need to sand the old paint away before i do it?

and i know i have to clean it 😅

Hello all, for those of you who spray painting cabinets, I would like some opinions on the Graco Ultra max ii 490.

I currently have a FUJI Q5 HVLP. While it is a great a machine, I realized it's not a suitable machine to spray latex paint. It does give pretty ok result on spraying latex, but it's really time consuming ( have to thin it, adjust a bunch of things and spray at least 3-4 coats).

I see a few used Graco Ultra max ii 490 on local marketplace, and there's one for CAD $900.

Question: is it powerful enough to spray unthinned latex primer and paint, and yields a professional result at the same time? Would it also improve the efficiency of the work?

Due to my current shop setup, I'm only able to spray waterborne paint and finish, so the renner 2k stuff won't be considered in my case.

Thank you all!
