Hey guys,

Need some advice/info on how to merge existing paint with new paint without painting the whole part(ie entire door).

Bought some aerosol cans; I have my primer, paint to match and my clear coat all ready to go. I'm working on paint damage(paint peeled off), and it's smack in the middle of my door. There isn't any dent or rust, only the car paint & clear coat came off(primed surface was left). It's about an inch or two wide. I've already prep the surface and it's almost completely smooth, I sanded the area of the damage and half a cm or so outwards of that.

So, heres what I need to know:

How do I merge my car paint + clear coat with my current paint job?

Step by step instructions would be appreciated.

eg. "Spray past damage area with car paint by 1 cm, then spray past painted area with clear coat by 1 cm."

Thanks guys.

well, if your colour car is a metallic colour, good luck, no matter what you do you wont match it properly.

if its a normal colour, you would best go over 1cm to merge the colour, otherwise your going to have this circle of where youve sprayed, best way to do it is flicking the spray can from left to right to get a little bit of paint everywhere, so it evens out better.

with cans you wont ...under normal spray conditions you need to cut original paint back to its proper colour at least 150mm past any damaged and primer ,,,each coat must overlap the last one edge by about 25/30 mm but dont use heavy application ..when all is covered you then use colour thinners and i mean just coloured to blend in the edges on your last coat ,dont use heavy applications just a misty spray ,,when dry gentle cut to bring up shine ...most spray cans are not the same colour

I previously sprayed my D-wing in black..

Black is hard to get RIGHT!

Got it colour matched by Autobarn.

TIPS i found handy.

- Put the spray can in Hot water from the tap (not boiling water) for about 10mins prior spraying. this makes the paint easier to get out of those little spray nozzles.

- Shake the can for atleast 2 mins. swirling it around, upside down, side to side, up and down. (I masturbate a lot, so i was pretty good at it) JUST KIDDING!

- Practice on a bare metal surface, practice until you are confident to give it a go. I practiced atleast 5 times.

- Slow and steady wins the race, Prep work is your number ONE key to your final result. Good prep = Good Final Result.

- Spray according to the spray pattern of the nozzle, either Vertical or Horizontal. if it has a Vertical Spray patter, spray side to side. Some nozzles you can change.

- Get a 80% thinner plus base paint in a can. Autobarn can make this up for you too. Use that for a final coat.

- Once finished let it cure for atleast 24hrs before touching. Even if its a quick dry type paint. Then use a light cut and polish to bring up shine.

- If you have Orange Peel ( Little lumps like on an orange skin) you may need to use wet and dry paper, 1500 grit min...don't go lower. take your time with this, you don't want to paint it again. Also put some detergent in the water to let it glide easier.

Good Luck with it all.

No your not...

- Practice on a bare metal surface, practice until you are confident to give it a go. I practiced atleast 5 times.

Masturbating on a bare metal surface, sounds painful, And no way you can do it 5 times,not in a row anyway

- Slow and steady wins the race, Prep work is your number ONE key to your final result. Good prep = Good Final Result.

Yeah dont want to do it too hard and fast the end result is never as good, have your lube ready and all your favourite porn sites open, and dont forget the tissues, nothing worse than having nowhere to jizz

- Spray according to the spray pattern of the nozzle, either Vertical or Horizontal. if it has a Vertical Spray patter, spray side to side. Some nozzles you can change.

I know what you mean man, i wake up some mornings after a hard night out and spray all over the floor, sometimes it goes in 2 directions which is awkward,especially when your at someone elses house and it goes on your pants as well

- Get a 80% thinner plus base paint in a can. Autobarn can make this up for you too. Use that for a final coat.

Your getting way to kinky for me now :wub:

Good Luck with it all.

I couldnt help myself... :wub:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p

      Can't put strut back

      Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.

      Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from

      Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
