Maybe try Rodney at RD Custom Diecast, Bruce at Zollo Diecast, or Jim Silva? 🤔

2K is really straight forward, nice even coats just enough to cover from about a foot/foot and a half away. I usually let cure overnight though it can be sped up with a bit of heat. Hot dry sun for a few hours or about 185F for 10 min in the oven. 😁👍

Have a question,I used to do paint and body for over 25 years and I'm getting into diecast because I can't do my old work anymore, question is what makes the paint stick to a completey slick surface like the polished ones?

@HonestDiecast

Жыл бұрын

Thats a great question and no doubt probably a head scratcher for an experienced painter. The key is an extremely clean surface prepped with 90%+ rubbing alcohol, acetone, or any type of hard cleaner/purifying agent or degreaser. Ive even used brake clean in the past, but acetone has worked best for me. I usually dunk the car in acetone for at least a few hours after polishing to eat away any polishing compound, skin oil, or anything that may prevent a good paint stick. Ill then clean the compound and impurities from the door jams, body lines, and grills with a pick and do a final wipedown with acetone again. Once the cleaning is done, you should never touch the surface again until its cleared on the final step. For instance Ill use gloves and place the car on my helping hands and they wont leave that until the clear is cured. Make sure the car is up to temp and warm again after cleaning with a liquid that will cool the body like acetone, alcohol, etc.. Spray your paint OVER AND UNDER the body (a lot of people miss this then encounter the paint chipping at the bottom). Once you're satisfied with the finish, you have two options: 1. Do your detail work and decals (if applicable) then do final clear OR 2. Clear the body, do detail work and decals, then clear again. Ive done the first option but maybe try the second on your first one and see how you like it. The clear is the only thing that protects the paint from chipping off, so definitely keep the car out of harms way and be VERY careful while handling. Hope this helps! 👊😁👍

Go down as far as you can safely go, then use your big drill bit to snap the head off. I always try to prevent having to redrill once the rivet heads are snapped and the base is off. Sometimes Ill run the tap down the pilot before even taking the base off as well. Helps prevent the end of the post from mushrooming out and making the base a pain to snap back on. 😁👊

Hey Kulture! So no undercoat/primer, if you want a spectra or RLC look you need to spray it direct on a brushed or polished body. Because of this you definitely dont want to touch or scratch it after spraying the MetalCast. Clear depends, but I usually go for about three or four solid coats. Not heavy, but enough to ensure a uniform and shiney coverage after spraying. 👊😁👍

If you cure the paint in the oven or in the sun (hot, dry climate) you can spray clear in as little as a few hours. Any other condition Id recommend letting it sit over night. 👊😉👍

You have to Brian, if not you will definitely scratch the paint or it will definitely begin to flake off overtime. The polished finish does not give the Metal Cast much to hang onto and the Metal Cast is an already thin paint being applied sparingly. 😁👍

Juan, the duplicolor metalcast is a transparent candy spray paint which allows you to see through the paint finish down to the bare metal of the car. Thats what gives it the "spectraflame/RLC" look. 👊😁👍

Juan, the surface has to be absolutely clean with alcohol or acetone (don't touch it with bare hands after cleaning it). The body should be at least warm as well, Id say no less than 75F-80F. Lastly the weather, too cold or too humid might yield less than optimal results. 😁👍

Hey Sanjay, glad you found the vid useful! If you want a spectraflame finish, you cannot prime as you are essentially putting a transparent candy paint on a bare metal body to get the look. If you clean the body very well and keep it clean then you will have no issues. My recommendation is to clean with alcohol or acetone, spray the metalcast, then apply clear coat/detail/clear again. 👊😁👍

No primer because thatll take away the "spectraflame" effect, thats why its crucial to clean the body well and prevent touching before clearcoat. You can also apply a few coats of clear after painting and detail ontop of the clear, then clear once more after details are added. 😁👍

Gotta get some my friend. With any paint, ESPECIALLY the metalcast you MUST clearcoat if you want it to last. Its especially important with metalcast because you're spraying very thin to achieve the spectraflame look. Also, you are spraying onto a bare metal body that is very smooth so it'll have a tougher time having something to stick to. You can pick up some Duplicolor 1K clear from O'Riellys as well which is mh go-to for clearcoat usually. I prefer 2K clear but its pretty spendy and has a short shelf life once you crack the hardener. 😁👊
