where to buy paint?

[dragonforce]

i have a small airbrush and compressor and i want to use it and spray belly pan..

 

where do i get paint to mix with thinner to spray my belly pan? normal neighbourhood hardware shops those kind of 1 small tin of paint for plastic can use? need to mix with thinner?

 

sorry for this very newbie questions.. i am very new to diy spray painting using airbrush.

It won't be a good idea using an airbrush to spray ur belly pan.

Maybe a mini spray gun will do. Coz u will need to get an even coverage of paint on the surface. The reason we use thinner is to thin down the paint enough so the paint can go thru the spraygun nozzle without any prblm.

 

 

Hope that helps

there's a paintshop at St George's road, facing upper serangoon road.

 

THey sell Sparco 1K paints and 2K clear coat. this is the proper automotive paint. $18 for 1 litre, but that was in 2006.

 

You can use regular thinner to thin it out.

 

The paint comes with a hardener which u must mix. Pot life 4hrs so plenty of time to spray. Dry to touch overnight, give it a week or so to harden completely.

 

Make sure you clean your equipment thoroughly!

Thanks for the reply bro, Nippon Pylox?

 

I believe the primer you bought is for plastic surface preparation since you mentioned car bumper. I am looking for a primer for metal surface specifically aluminium. Do you have any idea which shop carrying a huge selection of aerosol paints?
