| 766360 | 2009-04-20 11:12:00 | Back in the good old days......nearly, but not quite, before plastics were common place...:) we used to use a cellulose paint called Brushing Belco, applied with a wide very soft camel hair paint brush. Many coats used to be applied with hours of polishing down each coat. I saw a Kombie van done by brush in three colours and the guy had kept the paint heated so it flowed nicely. You would have thought it had been spray painted. In my view it would be a mistake changing the colour as it would require completely stripping the car to do it properly. Years ago I sprayed my car and every little stone chip I sanded back and treated but it wasn't until the final coat that I discovered I hadn't feathered the edges enough. You could only see it in certain light but it was annoying. |
