Bigman1207 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 This is one coat of Rustoleum Combicolor applied to the front bumper using a Harris gloss brush, paint thinned with normal white spirit Rollered one side but will have to take a better picture as it's a bit tight to my fence. Just wanted to tidy up the bottom bits and i think it looks okay ish was going to pop another coat on today but reckoned it was too hot and paint would drag rainagain, Bren, HillmanImp and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman1207 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Oh and ignore the wheels they are getting stripped and done in gloss grey but that's a next weekend job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looks good that. How do you find the Combicolour to use? Its hard to find here. I bought 4l of Black and 4l of Ultramarine blue to being to NZ with grandiose ideas of painting up a tired Subaru Impreza. Sadly the customs checking man spotted it and said “nope, that ain’t going nowhere sunshine” So now my Dad has 8l of top notch paint he’ll never use.

Hi i found the combi colour need thining a fair bit . . Coverage very good very good gloss . . Reckon thinned three to one part thinner but it was massively hot. If not thinned it dries with bubbles but thinned you can work them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think we definitely need someone to roller paint an entire car with Combicolour or tractor paint as a tutorial. i think once I replace the Mitsi and it becomes surplus, Junior and I might have to redo it panel by panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I know you said you're doing the wheels gloss grey, but that one gold alloy actually looks pretty smart against the other colours on the van. Roller painting looks to have gone quite nicely too. 1duck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman1207 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 There is a bit of orange peel where it's rollered but where i brushed it on especially the bumper it's really smooth with minimal brush marks. Will be flattening the back panel then giving it a g3 then polish as a test but I'm very happy with results as it was very shabby The gold is a rattle can . . Deep copper metallic the centre cap cam out amazing however lack of prep on my part as in not removing flakes makes it look rather shite. Also the gloss grey has a better coverage and was also going to dn the door steps and the very bottom two inches that were stone garded. Now you have me thinking of that copper metallic as i have about eight rattle cans sitting in garage! Grrrrr vulgalour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
