    Rattle cans are usually something else, not 2k not cellulose,
     
  3. Rattle cans can be acrylic, 2k or celly depending where you buy. Some will react with everything (even themselves) which is a PITA to put it mildly.:(

    rattle cans can be anything, IF you ask but over the counter ones are usually acrylic( couldn't remember the name before) and as said acrylic reacts with everything and anything

    Would you say the hardener had an effect then?
     
  8. Yah I'd say it did something there went a lot in it and I don't no how well it would do with some thinners in it . Normally the paint can be scratched very easy after a day at this temp out side don't help but the top seems very well set even after a thick coat .
    Don't take my word for it more testing is needed I just need to find some of this jap drier carnt see there being much difference in the hardeners
     

  9. My van was spray painted during it's restoration and is still looking good , but this subject caught my interest as I'm seriously thinking of hand painting an old London Taxi I have. It doesn't need to be a great finish and I figure it'll look better the it does now, but it needs to be cheap as I can't justify spending too much money on it. I've never hand painted a vehicle, but I found this web site that you might find interesting called "coachpainting info", I've seen it mentioned on classic car forums a few times . It seems there are plenty of car owners using this method. The paint used is Tekaloid Coach Enamel, check out the gallery, there are some great looking results.
