Jack Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Following on from Marks post about paint stripping, I would be interested to learn how to spray my GMC. Has anyone got a 'fools guide' to spraying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Haven't had the time to sort out the painting for this weekend so the GMC will be going in red oxide :shock: ............I have been told not to worry as they would make sure that I was parked out of the way :roll: The last time people saw it was Yellow, it is now Red and hopefully the next time that they see it it will be GREEN, I said GREEN. My winters project is to put the GMC in the barn, strip of everything that I can, wings, bonnet, mud guards, fuel tank etc etc, bring them home and prepare them and spray them in the garage. I need to find, beg, borrow, steal a generator as I have no power in the barn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 Any one get any pictures of the results of using a roller? I am reading that in some cases a roller gives a stronger finish than spraying?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 My bedroom wall was done with a roller. Will a picture of that do?? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean101ryan Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 First time I did my 101 was with roller. Works fine with matt/satin finishes as they cover a multitude of sins. Gloss can be done this way. I used small radiator paint rollers.Spraying will give best job but if you are just tarting up for the season, rollers is better than brushing although you will still need brushes for finishing edges. Look at this a this very good site for some painting good advice http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Dam good site Sean, thanks for that. Steve, you haven't got wood chip wall paper, have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Steve, you haven't got wood chip wall paper, have you? There's only two rolls of paper in the whole house, and you know which rooms they are in!!!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
