Can I use the touch-up spray paint for auto-body on auto wheels ?

I have a Dupli-Color black touch-up spray paint can. I want my wheels to be painted from silver to black. And I don't want to spend another $10 on wheel paint. Will it stick, shine ? Can I do it myself ?Can I use the touch-up spray paint for auto-body on auto wheels ?
Yes, you can. You will need about two cans of primer, a can of black paint(two if you have larger wheels), and a can of protective clear coat. You do the calculation on how much this gonna cost you.





First, you have to roughen up the silver shiny surface with sandpaper then apply auto primer. Apply black paint after the primer has completely dried. You need to clear coat the wheels to make it more shine and the paint will stick longer. Can I use the touch-up spray paint for auto-body on auto wheels ?
Yes

What kind of paint does auto body shops ?

i have a major dent between my side doors.


i was wondering what kind of paint does a auto body shop uses to fix it??


do they use spray paint??


and are they reliable.What kind of paint does auto body shops ?
I have been told to use One part Acrylic Lacquer Primer and two part Urethane Primer after that process a Acrylic Lacquer Clear Coat goes one followed by Acrylic Urethane Clear Coat.





A good cleaning and sanding is required and a discharge should be done to ensure that it doesn't attract any dust.





And the work goes on - I used http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/Painting鈥?/a> to get me through the job but I will say next time I will use a professional.What kind of paint does auto body shops ?
i have 16yrs. in a bodyshop.we also use everything urethane primer and paint.and the macco comment is very true.hah.maybe they do use spray cans from walmart.every job i have seen done by them is either peeling from not being sanded at all or faded a year later.many used car dealers go there to get a cheap shine for a sale.the name brand products that are the best i use are 3M but very expensive.something just as good with a lifetime warranty is transtar products.affordable and simple to use.good luck.
as a body shop owner I'll tell you that the majority of us use top of the line urethane paint with a clear coat. major paint companies work hard to provide the best color match and they meet factory specs for quality and durability. but not all paint co's do. quality paint is expensive but well worth it. remember, you get what you pay for. a good example is Maaco. they'll paint your car for 250$, but in a year it will look worse than before it was painted because of cheap paint. 250$ won't even buy enough good paint for an all over job. never mind the labor.
A good body shop will use your VIN (Serial Number from the car) to determine the original paint used and order the appropriate paint to match it.





They spray with special equipment, not aerosol cans.





You might try to find a 'dent repair' body shop - they can sometimes fix dents without needing to paint. Much cheaper and faster.





Good luck
just about everyone uses an acrylic urethane finish these days.
All body shops use paint that is sprayed with one of two types of sprayers. Type of the actual paint bdepends on the shop. They dont use paint from a spray can like you find in a hardware store. Make sure the body shop is state licensed, and you shouldnt have nay major issues.

  • With regards to body painting for females, what happens if she needs the bathroom? The paint would be all over?

    This is a rather strange question to answer. lol








    I have seen people get painted and they make her go to the bathroom before. One case the girl had to go to the bathroom and thankfully they dont mess up to much of it.With regards to body painting for females, what happens if she needs the bathroom? The paint would be all over?
    The paints they use are an oil base and don't come off easy with just water, they use a type of ';degreaser'; to get it off when they shower.

    There is actually more work involved in this than you think. I have done a few of these and they can be a bit of a pain. Expect to pay probably 800-1000 for this as they will have to take off both bumper covers, paint all the pieces and then install them.
