Futuramic Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It's re-decoration time in Ginetta land and I have a problem. I have commenced my own particularly shite repainting of the G26 using foam rollers, hard work and swearing. I have only done a small area so far and am pleased with the results.However I am worried about the quantities of expensive brush on car paint this required. The bodywork is decidedly rough, so I'm having to flat and guide coat just to see which areas are high or low.My question is this: is there a suitable DIY type cheap grey brushable primer that I can get for cheap to prepare a smooth surface for laying down the expensive top coats? It's fibrelass by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 You can get spray grey primer from poundland, if it helps..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 How's it going with the Rustoleum paint? I'm going to give the Peerless a bash with it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Have you heard of the polyester putty Dolphin Glaze? Its very good for smearing over imperfections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Make sure you've no sandpaper scratches, these never come out.I've not noticed the difference between 6 quid Halfords and 1 quid poundland primer, only in the rattle can design, which is shite and drips.If you can, spray/brush the paint onto a flat surface, take doors off, it makes a massive difference.
