Blending Paintwork

Hi Guys

Does anyone have any tips for blending metallic paintwork, should I use rubbing compound or would T cut suffice before the final laquer and polish.

Thanks

Okay now you have some problems. Spraying metallic is NOT like spraying a solid colour. If you are spraying out of a tin it wll be ultra shiny and a waste of time - it will never look like the rest of the panel.

 

So here goes:-

 

Get yourself a compressor (ath least 25 litres - preferably 50 litres - do not get one without an air tank - good for tyres but not for spraying, good second hand one) and a decent spray gun (

Erm cheers for that Andy, but to be fair I only want to rub out a few rust spots on our second car (an 8 year old rover 25), just to make it last a few years longer, just wanted to make a decentish job, most of which is below the trim line. Interesting post though, Thanks
