this monday i will be painting the inside jamb of a dodge challenger. my dad has welded the quarter panel and primed both ends of the jambs. the quarter panel is an after market one. this is my plan; scuff the jamb, sand the primed areas, then apply an orientation coat, followed by the silver metallic base and then clear it. what do you think. good plan? any suggestions? :kofee :kofee
Not sure I see the question here…
Anything primed will need to be sanded and scuffed. Any of the original primer from the 1/4 should be primed and/or sealed. And of course, all bare metal needs proper treatment…
With base coat, you would typically do 2-3 coats with a silver, 1st coat, 2nd coat and with some paints the 3rd as an orientation coat (orientation coat is always last). Then 2 coats of clear. All as per the tech sheet for the paint you are using
Also, make sure to prep beyond the jamb (onto the fact of the 1/4 and door) to ensure any paint up to and over the edge will get decent adhesion there as well
thanks. if i understood you correctly, 1. 2 or 3 coats of base, 2. apply orientation coat, 3. apply clear coat……sorry if you didnt understand my post, im a rookie, well, not even a painter, my boss wants me to paint the jambs. i also want to do really good on this challenger, i should have taken a pic of the car. i sand and tape cars
what brand of paint do you use? What are you using for a gun?
i use de beer. the shop supplies me with a sata base gun but i have my own clear gun- anest iwata lv400
Put enough base color to cover the primer /sealer. Not just 2-3 because the directions say to.
As Far as cleacoat. Dont try to spray it like glass. It is easier to polish a little orange peel that it is to remove runs.
Take you time . You will do fine.your just spraying the jambs. no need for an orientation coat. prep properly then base coat to coverage, then 2 coats of clear.
