so i got the fender today...
and i was wondering what ima need to do in order to paint it to match the rest of the car...
what do i need to buy from that paintwebsite (automotivetouchup).
and im gonna spray it since i dont got a gun or anything...
and how many cans should i buy?
THANKS

 

i would say 2 or 3 for the fenders. wouldnt hurt to order a spare can for random things.

 

well its only one fender that needs the paint job...
but doesnt it need a clear coat of some sort?

 

Is it Milano red? I think even Autozone carries that in a rattle can. Just make sure it's clean, spray some primer evenly, let dry, spray your red, maybe two coats, let dry, gently sand to make sure the coat is really even, then spray a couple of clear coats, then sand that with some really fine sand paper. Then use some polishing compound to make it shine.

 

Wow thanks wellfedhobo,
and yeah its milano red. its R81. as long as its milano red it should match right.....lol
and the fender it said it was primed black... so that means i dont really need 2 prime it over right?
and any clear coat should work?
i got some clear gloss from when i did some hub caps.... would that work you think?


man ima go check out autozone lol.
im pretty sure they can beat the 27 bucks per rattle ima be spending at that website.


P.S...
what does the number mean after the "R81-#" mean?
lol cuz they got the same name... but different number

 

It's a color variant. Dunno how much it changes the tone.

And as long as it's automotive clear coat... I think it would work.

 

mmmm... ill have to try it lol

 

I have heard that the primers that parts come with are only to keep them from rusting while in the warehouse and during transit and they are no good for painting over
