Cellulose or 2 pack?
Discussion
Hi, need to paint my car.
I have used celly on a few cars in the past (1980's & 90's) and always got a reasonable result although not as good a shine as folks seem to get with 2pack.
Now if I go to 2 pack I need to relearn the technique apparently, I don't know the mix ratios, how long it takes to go off, how long I can leave it in the gun and I don't have an airfed mask.
But I want a decent finish.
Do I stick with celly?? I am willing to learn but don't want to cause myself undue agro (and death)

See if you can find a spray shop willing to have you assist in the job.
Maybe even evening class.

Seriously will do it myself but just needed a bit of advice, if it dries in a couple of minutes (same time as celly) I would possibly do it outside. Did a BMW in the 90's outside on a calm day (in the north east of England, granted, and got a good result. Presumably 2 pack in the outside is a lot less dangerous. Alternatively would one of those masks with filters (like a gas mask) be ok, or MUST it be air fed?
