Auto Rattle Paint

Hey, im painting a vintage Peugeot Bicycle, a little OT, but i figured since this info could be useful to when i paint my car id ask the question anyways...wondering how the duplicolor turns out...im gonna make it lugs one colour tubes a different then plan on using lots of clear than wet sanding it to a really shiny finish...anyone think this wont turn out?

Talky

 

duplicolor in itself is good rattle can paint and will probably work fine on a bike BUT it would take alot of cans and very patient tedious work to cover a car and then I doubt it would hold up .Rattle can paint is just too thin to go on thick enough to work well in my opinion. just my 2 cents good luck

 

yeah...i got spray guns for the car body when i do it, the rattle would be used for small parts....

 

Duplicolor is perfect for your project. It wet sands very well.

 

If you really care about the finish, but need it to be spray cans, have a paint store mix you some aerosols using real paint. Superior results and true custom colors and finishes are possible.

$50 worth of custom aerosols and it'll look like a body shop painted the bike.

$100 worth of custom aerosols, and it'll be ready to roll into an indoor show.

 

im just building the bike as a commuter...but i wanted to makeit look nice as the old paint was chipped and the frame was rusting...so i cleaned it all up and now for some paint...plus i get to learn alot about bondo and primering...

another quick question...do i actually ahve to use there primer (duplicolour) didnt notice that part until just now and ive alreadly got 3 or 4 coats and lots of sanding of a different primer...
