Whats the right way if any to restore a painted textured surface such as rocker panels?
The Ferrari has the whole front lower half of the car done in this stuff.
And since I am having to repaint the whole car now the top half any way I am thinking the bottom will look old so I should spray it too…. Front and rear lower halves of the car have this textured stuff rest is just Black paint and Yellow.Sand it all off and respray it?
If so what products should I use?I would like to just spray it but how in the heck do you sand it without messing it up?
I Was thinking about just cleaning the heck out of it and shooting it with adhesive type stuff used for Plastics and then shooting it with color but I dont think thats the right way to do it.
when ya have the car in the booth an all ready for paint ya mask off all the areas that ya want stone guard on shoot it wait about 15 ta 20 mins then just paint it ya dont have ta sand it make any sense??
Does it take a special gun to shoot that stuff?
you can do it with rattle cans or a shutze gun i usally just do mine with the aresol stuff
practice first too so you can make sure you are gettin the texture right.
Paintable Gravel Guard by Dominion is what we use, but like Ding say’s practice!
Yep what they all said.. I use the rattle can stuff too.. Only takes a minute of practice to determine distance and speed etc to get the texture you want.. Easy as pie brother
IMO the rattle can is quick and easy but doesnt match many of the textures out there, such as toyota tacomas or maxda miatas, or econoline vans for that matter. So whats everyones opinion on duplicating that sorta thing. i used to use the wurth stuff out of it own gun but its hard to duplicate the match and is a real pain in the arse to use. My boss here had me use napa brand thru a primer gun and it seemed to work pretty well. What else?
I just use my primer/surfacer at very low air pressure. I’ve been doing that for years now and never had a problem matching any of the textures. Never had any luck with the shaky bomb stuff.
rattle can works fine with some practice , unless one’s spraying alot of it. For me it’s just one little piece or so. :pcorn:

I wonder……… Feather fill….Slick sand hmmmmm
Got me thinking now
doright just stonegaurd it youll be glad ya did
I do quite a bit of lining and texturing.
I generally always use a shultz gun. But then again. I generally do tons of the stuff. You do it enough and you’ll be able to match anything.The Spray bomb stuff really isn’t that bad. Just a little more inconsistent on how it sprays so unless you’re doing just a small area. you’ll have a hard time keeping the texture “Just right”.
You just want to avoid going too wet. or it will start to level out.
But it’s not a huge deal if you do. You can always let it set up a little. then go over it with a lighter coat and it will texture back up.
