Hi, I have an FTO that is my project car. I have been learning a lot about the mechanics of it which is why I bought it in the first place.
As it has turned 21 years old this week the paintwork isn't great, so as a thought to increase my knowledge and skills I have decided to respray the car.
I tried rattle cans (on spare panels) and to be honest it has turned out pretty good.
I do have a compressor and can pick up a spray gun. So I think I am going to go for it.
However I do have a few questions I hope someone can answer.....
What paint to use, there is cellulose, synthetic and water based, I wanted to stay away from 2 pack due to the isocyanates and the fact that I will be knocking up a makeshift paint booth. (Timber frame plastic lined).
I have an air fed mask from work
I know a lot of people don't like matt black or satin but I quite fancy it.
The car is currently black and I want to keep it a type of black.
