Classic cars are favorites of many car owners and enthusiasts. These cars have unique styles and designs that attract the attention of many. Now, if you just got a gorgeous model and it needs a serious overhaul, you’ll need something to make it look like new.
Having a shiny and shiny body is one of the most important things you have to work on. You’d like it to look like one of those new cars in the showrooms, looking like new and ready to go. This is when acrylic enamels come into the picture.
Acrylic enamel is a type of paint that is commonly used to give automobiles a deep, glossy appearance. To help you with your vehicle’s refinish, here are a few tips you may want to keep in mind:
1. Find a place where you can paint. Find a place that is not closed, has adequate ventilation and is covered. You wouldn’t want the rain washing away freshly applied paint or the wind blowing dust and other small particles onto your car body, would you?
2. Before painting, try to remove all fuel from the gas tank. This will ensure that there is no risk of any type of explosion.
3. Dress well. Wear your old clothes. Find goggles or any eye protection and gloves. Start scraping off the original paint on the car. Use sandpaper to keep the surface smooth.
4. There are some parts of the car you wouldn’t paint, like the windows and lights, so make sure to cover them with plastic.
5. Apply primer to the areas you would paint. Once the primer dries, apply a coat of sealer to minimize rust formation. The sealer would take at least an hour to dry.
6. Now you can start applying acrylic enamels. Use a paint gun and apply three to four coats.
7. Once you’re done, simply let the vehicle air dry for about 24 hours.
Your car will look magnificent and majestic the next day. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done and have fun driving it!
