Hi guys, I saw a couple projects with rattle can paints and they look nice, and since it's been hard to find a captiva blue hood near me I need to do something to my own to make it look better....
About 3 months ago someone put something on my hood and it started to burn the clearcot and it looks awfull
Well before you advice me to take it to a body shop I'll do that but not now, it needs to be all painted and I'll do that on the next year cause I wanna put new roof seals and change some parts to carbon fiber, so for now I just want to give it a better look, cause it starts to look like I don't treat my car, but the thing is that without the clearcoat even the wax don't protect or look any better..... Enough for the talk and let me ask you advices....
Where do you buy the paint with the same colour of our hondas???? Mine is captiva blue, b62p....
How much do you think that I'll need to paint my hood????
Do you use primer???? or just sand the remaining paint\clearcoat to have it leveled and put the paint over it without primer?????
What clearcoat do you use??? And how much?????
By the way, I'm from Portugal, so I think that will make a bit harder to find the paint, but if you know some online store on europe that's ok.....
If I can do it cheaper than find and buy a hood from the uk I'll do the rattle can magic, if not well I don't know, maybe put a black hood and roof and hope that it'll look good
Thanks
