I used a paint stripping wheel, I started off on my 18v drill and is was better than the detail sander, But then I used My 240v(Aussie) electric Variable speed Hammer drill and omg, cut the stripping time down by heaps, I rolled on my primer and used Rattle cans for hard spots, Great job and thanks for sharing

Good job. If you ever do another do yourself a favor and get a pack of 5 sheets 3M 400 grit wet/dry paper and hand wet sand it. Save yourself some time and money and it will do a better job. A 180 grit scratch is hard to cover with paint. Of course house paint is more forgiving than automotive paint

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. I'm about to do the same project, I just had some questions 1. Would it make sense to sand and then wash it, rather than wash it first since you have to clean off the residue anyway? 2. Could you use the electric sprayer to apply the primer? It seemed like it covered better. Any tips on thinning the paint for the spray gun?
@poormansfoodtruck Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! You’re probably right in that perhaps it could just be sanded first and then washed (I just chose to wash down before and after to be thorough). And yes you’re also probably right about the primer, however I wasn’t sure how well I’d be able to clean the sprayer so just decided to use cans. But you’re absolutely right I’m sure it could be done that way!
@poormansfoodtruck Жыл бұрын
As for thinning the paint - I kept adding water to the mixture until it sprayed out of the gun cleanly and consistently. Honestly it didn’t take much thinning out at all

Did you use any lubricant on the gun, also did you need to thin the paint at all?
@poormansfoodtruck2 жыл бұрын
Great question! Yes I used some universal lube as it says in instructions to do so before first use. I added a tiny amount of water to make it a little thinner, maybe no more than half a quart just so it would flow through the gun a little easier. I also didn’t want it to run once applied so tried to keep as thick as possible. Hope this helps!
