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

    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.

    Is it OK to use Krylon spray paint on my body?

    I want to paint my arms and legs for a school event. Tempera paint chips off too fast. All we have is besides that is Krylon spray paint. Will it harm my skin/body? How much? What bad will happen?Is it OK to use Krylon spray paint on my body?

    It is not wise to spray paint large portions of your body. Go to a costume store or maybe the dollar store and look for some grease-based makeup (think halloween costume make up). It won't chip off. It's the stuff football fans use.

    i own a repair ,and restoration shop,and i do paint work also,,to do this job right and fix and repair any dents or rust it may have in it,,would probably start at about 1500,and could go as high as 3000 depending on how bad the body is on it,,and also the type of paint you choose also will effect the price a lot on it,today there are so many different types and brands of paint on the market that you can get good or bad paint,and the price range does change a lot on good paint,,but again this is just a guess based on me not seeing the truck,,it could actually be a lot less than this,or maybe more,it all depends on the condition of the truck,,good luck,i hope this helps.How much does it cost to paint the whole body of a ford f-150 custom?
    This is a ';you get what you pay for '; question. You could have a buddy down the street paint it for a couple hundred bucks, or you could have Chip Foose paint it for $30,000. Depends on what you want it to look like and how much you want to spend. I'd put a descent squirt job on it though, just because it's a Ford! Good luck!

    How much does the body shop normally charge for a body kit installation with paint?

    I bought a body kit for my 2004 hyundai elantra from ebay and i already got it... But i dont really wanna spend too much money for its installation and everything...


    Could you guys help me?How much does the body shop normally charge for a body kit installation with paint?
    It depends. You will first have to find out how many shops in your area will do that kind of work. Many body shops will not want to get into aftermarket body kits because they often need significant work to get them to fit like original parts. They rarely fit perfectly unless you bought top-of-the-line. The bumpers (and side moldings if you bought a full kit) may not have any attaching brackets which would increase the time (labor $$$) to custom fit them. It's best to call around and see which shops actually do this type of work on a regular basis. They will be the ones that be most knowledgeable and do the best job on your kit. If it's just a couple bumpers then MAYBE as low as $500, but for a full kit you could be $1000 +

    Get some cream stage makeup and makeup sealant (mehron or ben nye).





    Liquid latex is not really meant for painting yourself, it's meant for building up scars and soforth.
    Use something MEANT to be used on a human body, that allows your skin to breathe. Otherwise it could kill you, seriously.

    Best paint color and body mods for a 82 firebird?

    I am thinking about having a firebird fixed up and then selling. What would be the best color to have it painted that would fetch a higher price, as well as look best on the car? Also, what would be the best body mods put on the car?Best paint color and body mods for a 82 firebird?
    The most popular colors are silver, white, black and red, in that order. I'd use whichever is best with your interior.





    Don't do body mods on this car for resale. You will never get your money back. If you want to make it look custom, use a conservative graphic (or you could use the big chicken the Trans Am came with), or two-tone the paint.





    The most important thing you can do for resale is to fix all the little things. As a buyer, I assume that anything wrong with the car will cost me 3 times as much as your estimate. For example; If your car needs the freon topped off, I'm going to pay $500-$1,000 less for your car because I have to allow for a new compressor. If the headliner is an easy repair, do it because I'm going to deduct $200 if I have to get it done myself. If it needs seat covers or interior repairs, take care of it. I'm going to deduct another $500. All this assumes I'm looking for a project car. In most cases, people don't want to have to do anything.





    If you want to spend money on anything, you can get a decent stereo for $500-$600 or a lot less if you have access to salvage parts. Just replace that old cassette.





    Running 82 Firebirds with new paint run from $1,200-$14,000 depending on engine, transmission, mileage and accessories. Be sure yours sell for the top end of the scale.

    Of course it is OK -- as long as you have a valid ticket, the team makes the same profit if you are painted or unpainted.





    Re: the type of paint, best advice is to ask someone who's ';painted'; themselves for a game before %26amp; ask them for advice.

    Call the dealer and ask them for the name of a place who can help you. DO NOT do it yourself.
    I would try Turtle Wax bug and tar first The Paint on a Vette can take even stronger chemicals like grease and oil remover available from paint shops. 3M makes a product called adheasive remover I keep some around for just such a white stripe paint sling. All will remove the carefully applied wax job.... But if your car was properly waxed we would not be having this little talk. Well waxed cars just wash off the paint stuck to the wax and circular scrubbing with a wash mitt should take the road paint off. Waxed cars you could have blown off the paint with a pressure wahser at the self service car wash
    WD 40!
    No, you should be OK. Hopefully your clear coat is still alive and well.


    Just be a bit gentle and follow up with wax.





    I had a white vet and used bug%26amp;tar all the time mostly for tar, although I never had to deal with highway striping.

    draw the design on in gel pens, then trace over it with permanent markers. the markers should last a week or less, but just the pens wouldn't last a full day. there are many different colors of permanent markers, so you can pretty much do anything.

What should I prime it with? It's fiberglassHow much paint do I need to paint a full body kit?
    have the paint shop do it you'll spend 300 bucks on the material to do it right.You need primer paint clear sandpaper tack rag compressor spray gun and then if you mess something up you get to do it all again





    CHILL OUT DUDE!!!! I been doin this crap for over 20 years.It's not cheap and it's not easy that's why there's a billion dollar bussiness based on it.Now go to discount get your spray cans and screw up your car.I'll be lookin for the question ';How do I strip paint off a fiberglass body kit?';How much paint do I need to paint a full body kit?
    $300 is cheap if that is all a shop wants. If you never have painted, I'd take that deal and run, as just the supplies alone at your cost (retail) are gonna cost you near this amount.





    Cost depends on color, black is cheap, reds are expensive, others are in between. If you are talking a body kit that just wraps around the bottom of the car, without seeing it, I would guess 1 quart of paint, as you do dilute it 50:50 with reducer.





    So here is your supply list:





    $75 quart of paint (price can range here)


    $15 gallon of reducer


    $10 quart of wax and grease remover


    $10 600 grit sand paper, gray scuff pads


    $30 quart of talc-fillable primer (red if red paint, gray for rest)


    $15 gallon of lacquer thinner


    $1 tack rag


    $?? spray bottle of water


    $?? air compressor


    $?? mini or normal HVLP spray gun, .8-.10 mm tip


    $?? inline water filter


    $?? inline oil seperator


    $?? regulator


    $?? high speed buffer


    $?? foam pad for buffer


    $?? 3M finesse it compound


    $25 paint mask, respirator


    $25 quart of clear coat


    $15 pint of hardener


    $15 pint of flex additive


    $15 fish eye remover


    $20 green paint paper


    $10 green masking tape





    (?? = you better have already or you are over $1000 in price)


    maybe a few tiny odds and ends left, but just right now, you are at $422 retail price and you have yet to spray them or do any work.





    they are best to be sprayed on the car so they are not twisted when being installed which will risk damaging, spider webbing or popping the paint. install, mask/paper off, prep, sand, prep, paint, clear, sand, buff.








    ps - I charge $300 for just a bumper cover repaint, no major damage. if you brought me a body kit, I'd start at $900 and then go up if I am doing install and all.





    pps - you want to sand/scuff the body kit when new as that coating is a seal coat. paint/primer will not adhere to it. you have to scuff it first or at least wax and grease it to get bite. then do few layers of primer, wet sand, dry/clean, paint, dry, clear, clear, dry, sand, buff
    Actually $300 IS not bad if they are supplying the paint and everything. If your car is a factory color the Paint alone will probably be close to $150, thats not counting the clearcoat, reducers, hardners, and other supplies. Plus with a body shop, they will get everything to line up correctly. Even if you bought your own paint, and did the work yourself, you would only be saving $50-$100. Most body shops wont even paint a front bumper for $300. If you would like to check call a local paint shop and get your paint code from inside your driver side door. You will need AT LEAST1 quart sandable primer, 1 quart activator for primer, 1 quart paint, 1 quart activator, 1 quart clearcoat, 1 pint hardner (varies on manufacturer), 1 gallon lacquer thinner, a gallon of reducer, measuring cups, access to a HVLP paintgun, a clean room, a good air compressor, and LOTS of sandpaper and prep time. You will need to spend probably 8-10 hours sanding and prep work to get it as straight as the shop.

    How do you remove paint from your body?

    I was painting my gate with this paint for metal and it won't wash off with soap and water it just smears so now i have a blue chest and hands and speckles all over. The worst part was i thought it would be much nicer to use a paint glove and it went all the way through the glove i'm really covered!How do you remove paint from your body?
    Use a little paint thinner and make sure you wash with soap%26amp; water after. Lots of lotion afterHow do you remove paint from your body?
    Don't bother. I painted myself white, now I am a happier person.
    hot water
    depends on the type of paint ... usually Lava hand soap and hot water will work, and they sell concentrated hand cleaners like Fast Orange that may do the trick.
    Odorless mineral spirits are usually good for removing paint.





    Does the can of paint have any instructions for cleanup?
    turpentine, or mineral spirits, its a couple of bucks at the hardware store. It will take it right off without scrubbing to hard.
    Mineral spirits, acetone (fingernail polish remover) or laquer thinner.


    Be careful, they will be absorbed thru the skin.
    Try nail polish remover.
    first try to check the label of the paint if its water based or oil based, but since it didnt come off with water, it must be oil based. try using paint thinner, but dont pour it to your self try using a cotton ball...after that wash the smell away with soap and water, it worked for me :)
    Mineral spirits, paint thinner, or even Avon's skin so soft.
    hot water and dawn soap with bleach in it
    If you go to a big store like wal-mart or target or something like that there is this rectangular rock thing and when you get in the shower/bath you just start scrubbing away and it comes off and they are only like $2 I think and that is how you get paint off. oh and if it is not at one of those places go to a paint store they might have it.
    White sprit will remove it , it smells horrid so just make sure u wash ur self after to get rid of the smell.
    Read the label on the paint can. They usually have clean-up instructions on them. Soap and water really only works for latex or water-based paint. If you are using an oil-based paint, try using mineral spirits to clean up. It is cheap, and you can get it at the hardware store or Wal-mart. Paint thinner is a tougher paint cleaner, but I would only use that on your palms. It will burn more sensitive areas like your chest or even the back side of your hands. My father was a painter. When I was six-years-old I sat in a bowl of paint thinner while my Dad was cleaning brushes. That was over 25 years ago, and I still remember how bad it stung!
    hot water and soap usually does it. if not the soap go joe (the stuff that feels like it has sand in it) takes everything off. mechanics use it a lot to get grease off. best wishes!
    Soap and water should do it


    Hot water and tons of soap..

    What is the best way to remove paint from the body of a 1969 Corvette?

    We have a 1969 Chevy Corvette and we're in the process of restoring it. What is the best way to remove paint from the body? It is fiberglass. I've heard of people media blasting, sanding, stripping, etc. Whats the best and SAFEST way to remove paint from this fiberglass body? Another quick question, what color is the raw fiberglass on these cars? also if any of you have any pictures of good information that we could use to help us along the way we would really appreciate it.What is the best way to remove paint from the body of a 1969 Corvette?
    Sanding. Media Blasting since fiberglass is so soft, will totally screw up the surface as the media will not be able to tell the difference between paint and fiberglass. Sanding. Stripping solutions could also mess with the integrity of the fiberglass and give you more problems than you imagined. Also once you get it stripped completely, contact a good body shop that works with fiberglass, or a Corvette shop if there is one in your area. You will need to rework any areas with Spider Cracks, and older fiberglass gets dried out and needs to be reworked before you prime and paint it again. In other words, check with some shops for sure to see what you need to do to restore the life back into the fiberglass.


    It is usually white or kind of cream in color. If you have black areas or anything like that, someone has probably patched it with marine materials.


    I would suggest finding a Corvette Club near you and contacting them, and you will be surprised at the pointers they can give you, and where they can refer you to find other things. Parts, etc. You might be interested to know that the '69 also offered Seven (7) engine options. They were:





    Base Engine: 350 cid with 300 horsepower @ 4800 rpm, Rochester four-barrell


    Optional Engine #1: [RPO L46] 350 cid with 350 horsepower, , Rochester four-barrell


    Optional Engine #2: [RPO L36] 427 cid with 390 horsepower @ 5400 rpm, Holley four-Barrell Carburetor


    Optional Engine #3: [RPO L68] 427 cid with 400 horsepower, three Holley two-Barrell Carburetors


    Optional Engine #4: [RPO L71] 427 cid with 435 horsepower @ 5800 rpm, three Holley two-Barrell Carburetors


    Optional Engine #5: [RPO L88] 427 cid with 560 horsepower @ 6400 rpm, Holley four-Barrell Carburetor

    I found a site you may want to check out for all your Corvette questions. www.ncrs.org (National Corvette Restoration Society). They have over 300,000 questions that have been asked. They can be viewed in the technical discussion forum. As for the color of the glass, from what I remember from the salvage yards, it's a yellowish-brown.
    The raw fiberglass is cream colored and sanding is the best way to remove it.

    My car has slight body damage & faded paint which I can fix for $500.Is it worth to fix-as I plan to sell it ?

    its a 1993 honda civic with 185K miles on it and runs good. Would I get significantly less money for it if I didn't fix it?My car has slight body damage %26amp; faded paint which I can fix for $500.Is it worth to fix-as I plan to sell it ?
    I would say no, you would not likely get the money back that you pay for the paint job. $500 isn't much for the body work and in my opinion would not do anything for the price of this vehicle. If on the other hand it was not sale-able as it you would have to do it or throw it away.My car has slight body damage %26amp; faded paint which I can fix for $500.Is it worth to fix-as I plan to sell it ?
    Sell it as is.
    depending on what kind of body damage you have, you could try auto body supply co.and get the parts cheaper this could cut your cost on repairs.but at 185k I would have to search the market for going prices before putting a lot of money into it,or a new paint job.I would look around, make some calls to get an idea of your cost and what you can sell it for,it may or may not be worth your money or time to fix it up (research)
    cut your losses man....sell it while its still running
    I'd check the Blue Book value of the car first and then decide. If the value is pretty decent then investing in the $500 might be worth it.
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

  • If you cover your whole body in spray paint, can that harm you in anyway?

    like will the chemicals effect your body, make you go into shock or die or something? ahaha, a bit extreme i know. but im just curious, and also what is the best way to remove spray pain from skin?If you cover your whole body in spray paint, can that harm you in anyway?
    dude ive been spray painted b4, like half of my back with letters, and nothing happened to me, its just really hard to get off, you'll be fine tho dont worry unless you plan to do it all the time, then you should get something specifically for your bodyIf you cover your whole body in spray paint, can that harm you in anyway?
    Read the spray paint can (if you have one), it will say, like, ';avoid contact with skin, if contact occurs wash area for 10 minutes and call a physician';


    xD
    Harm caused really depends on the color.





    A 4-5 long very hot bath should do the trick along with a brillo pad and mayonnaise.



    Restoring my classic car paint body motors?

    I bought a 1979 10th Trans am. How much would a good paint job and light body work cost. What should i invest by the way i paid $2,500 for itRestoring my classic car paint body motors?
    regular fixer-up usually goes anywhere form 800 to 1200 bucks.


    If you can find a small body shop. with low overhead would be your best bet.


    You can pay as much as you like but keep in mind the value of a car LIKE THAT is what you want it to be. Those cars are kind of rare to find.


    Look on ebay or you local auto trader to see what the cars of that nature are selling for.Restoring my classic car paint body motors?
    You did not say engine, transmission, air, etc so at a 350 automatic in good condition its retail is around $10,000 (primo paint, nice interior, engine fine etc)

    Has anyone ever gotten a allergic reaction to body paint?

    Last night me and my friend wrote all over ourselves with body paint and today we broke out in an extremely itchy rash and our arms are turning slightly purple. should we go see a doctor?Has anyone ever gotten a allergic reaction to body paint?
    You may be allergic to cobalt (or blue cobalt). I've never used the stuff but know I'm allergic to it. For this reason I can't get a tattoo, it is a colouring that is used in the ink. There is also balsam of peru which is closely associated with it. You should get a skin test to be on the safe side. I'm allergic to perfume as well, don't rule anything out.Has anyone ever gotten a allergic reaction to body paint?
    if the discoloration continues, yes see a doctor. Have the symptoms subsided?





    It is very possible to have allergic reaction to body paint, or any chemical that gets into your system through the sweat glands and /or pours





    One's skin is quite permeable to numerous substances. People have died from some body paint. One of the problems that occurs is that the skin does not breath and the pours clog and the body can not sweat also.
    A person can be allergic to anything. This may be an allergy to an ingredient in the paint or it is could be a chemical irritant causing the rash.





    Definitely see a dermatologist. If it is an allergy, you should get patch tested to find out the ingredient that caused it so you can avoid it because chances are it will be in other products you may come in contact with.
    A would say a dermatologist, I don't think you need to worry a lot. It's not big deal, hopelly you'll be fine very quickly.

    you are going to have to buff the bejesus out of them to make them clear again. use a high quality wax.





    or you can use 2000 grit sand paper to remove the oxidation from the lens.





    those headlights suck. they use plexi glass for most of the older head light lenses, older meaning, after they stopped using glass ones.


    plexi glass doesnt last very long in the sun.


    now a days they are using a much better plastic called lexan.

    no, paint has toxins in it that can be absorbed into your body and could cause poisoning. if you want to paint your body get body paint, they sell it in stores like Spencer's and it has been tested to be non toxic. or use eye liners in various colors.Is it safe to spray paint your body?
    No, it can clog your pores. If you want fake tattoos, go somewhere and get a professional to airbrush them on. Spray paint is very harmful, why do you think professional painters wear masks??

  • I was wondering how much a body paint for my car would cost?

    its a toyota yaris and i would like to paint it yellow, its near the size of a prius for those who dont knowI was wondering how much a body paint for my car would cost?
    $1500 to $2000 for a good job. Cheap is $700 but you will not be happy with it.I was wondering how much a body paint for my car would cost?
    Good automotive paint is not cheap. Depending on the color it is now, you probably don't want to paint yellow over it unless it's already yellow. This involves sanding all old paint off the body, and then applying a sealer and several coats of primer, followed by a base undercoat, then the base yellow, and finally finish with clear to preserve the luster.


    Some paints cost over $100 a quart, so plan carefully, and get a good body shop to do the work. I have paid $1500 for a really slick paint job, but the car I painted was well worth the expense.
    A good quality, color change paint job can run around 2500-3000.00 or so because all the visible parts of the car have to be painted such as door jambs, under hood and trunk, cowl, etc...


    Some shops like Maaco or Scheib offer cheap paint jobs for 4-500.00 but their quality is usually pretty poor...runs, drips, sags, overspray, poor taping, single stage paint versus two-stage paint with clear-coat. They only make money by doing fast, volume work which is sometimes not the best quality...although they can do better jobs for more money. Best to get a few estimates from some good local shops that guarantee their work and have ASE certified personnel.

Then all of the prep work for refinishing. To do a quality job, everything must be removed from any surface that is to be painted. For a proper color change, all of the body panels have to be removed.





    The cheapest price for a quality job that will last is going to be around 7000$ to 9000$. And that's even if you have the parts.Cost of a full body paint job and body kit install?
    To give you an idea, the Roush body kit from us, unpainted and installed costs $1,999.99. Paint costs all come from the man-hours involved in the preparation for paint(sanding,etc). A color change can be very expensive if you want it done right(i.e. engine bay{{you have to remove the engine}}, door jams, trunk, etc.). If you want this done right, you will easily be looking at $10,000 after purchasing the body kit, paying for all the labor and paint to achieve the final product you wish to achieve.


    I would suggest finding paint shops in your immediate area and get estimates of what they say to color-change it. Then use the quotes to have them compete over your business, anyone in this economy will jump at the chance to do this for you.





    Good luck with your project, hope this helps.
    well nice car!! body kits r more expencive the better they r(more durable, easily instaled) hood is gona be expencive, just go to ur aftermarket store they should have some hoods.. for the body kits go online... same with the spoiler...if ur gona do the work ur self its gona be cheap but if u want a shop to do it its gona be expencive. i mean i had neon installed and that cost $150 in a shop(last thing that i ever did in a shop) i cant even imagine how much it would be to install the body kit(its a butt load of work) for the paint job its going to depend on what color u want, but its deff going to be a few grand..i hope u got alot of money!
    body kit and hood and louvers about $2400. plus about $450. installation, 2 stage paint ,about $2000. with 1 coat of clear,with no body repair or exotic paint
    thousands and thousands body kits are usually not hard to install the painting you can spends over 10 grand on it or under 500 just depends how good you want it to look and last

    Suggestions on body paint/art for my major work?

    brushes, techniques, paints ect.Suggestions on body paint/art for my major work?
    Airbrush gives the most fantastic results with just water-based guache/watercolor, but there's a learning curve, so if there's a time crunch, you may want to hold off on that. You can usually pick up a used airbrush/compressor for under $100 from a just-graduated art student. check around the schools. For frisket you can just use masking tape. You have to plan out your work pretty well, though.

    Is it safe to use scratch removers on a 03 model's car body paint?

    I would try a small amount on a concealed area. If the car has a clearcoat finish you can buy special scratch removers in any auto store that hides the scratch with a tinted clear coat sealer.Is it safe to use scratch removers on a 03 model's car body paint?
    Make sure the label say its compatible for clearcoat paints. I have used it. Best results is with a buffer, lots of patience, it take about three attemps to remove scratch.

    Is it possible for a paint and body shop to remove touch up paint and fix the scratches?

    I tried to use touch up paint to fix scraches on my car and now it looks even worse. The colors do not match well and it stands ourt worst than the orginal scratches. Is it possible for a paint and body shop to remove the paint and maybe try to buff or fix the scratches? ThanksIs it possible for a paint and body shop to remove touch up paint and fix the scratches?
    yes they can buff it off and fix the scrachesIs it possible for a paint and body shop to remove touch up paint and fix the scratches?
    touch up paint is real trickey and sounds to me like new paint job is in order--- buffing out won't cure your problem ....


    -----
    Yes, it is possible that is if not scratched too deep. It might be more expensive than you had planned ...Have you checked with your ins ? Or is that not a possible mode of action.
    you can buff out the touch up paint but it depends on how deep and wide the scratches are.On my car the paint is a little faded so it took me a wile to find a paint color that mached it. I used a touch up pen which is better than a small brush. A touch up pen will allow you to exactly follow the scratches. After I filled in all the scratches on my car I then buffed out the paint job and gave my car a good wax cote.Now my car looks almost new. You have to look very close to the paint the see any of the scratches.Also if you dont have a buffing wheel than you can try this technique that I used on my car before I buffed it. The first thing you need to do is get some armoral interior spray (original) then you need to get armoral gel wax. Next is to wash your car realy good and dry it. Now after the car is dry take a soft cloth and spray the interior spray on the cloth and go over the whole car keeping the cloth damp but not wet with the interor spray. after that now take another soft cloth and dampen it with a little water and put a small amount of wax gel on the cloth. Now use a circular motion and wipe the wax into the paint do this until the wax has covered to body panel completely then after you are done than repeat this step on the other body panels. This sounds crazy but it works very well and it will hide a lot of small scraches and some large ones, plus it will bring out the clear cotes shine. You just have to keep doing this every two mounths and your car will look like new. It will even work on faded trim and molding.
    yes it is.


    while removing the fiberglass cap on my nissan truck years ago, it had slipped out of my hands and remove the paint at the top edge of the bed for about 12';.


    i dabbed in the touch paint, let it dry, dabbed in, let dry, dabbed, dry, etc,etc. till the area was filled in. i then wetsanded it with 1200 grit sandpaper, after it was smooth, i blended the paint all in with some more touch paint and an airbrush. the color was 1995 nissan anthracite grey metallic (grey and metallic not an easy color to match).


    after the airbrush paint was dried, i buffed it out. couldnt even tell it was fixed.
    It will come off. If the scratches were deep, it will require repainting the area. if there is a lot of them, you will be better repainting the car.
    i own a repair and restoration shop,and they will probably have to re-paint the area where the scratches are,they cant just repair the scratches and paint or buff that area out on it,,if its a door it will have to be re-sprayed,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

  • Is it okay for you to paint your body for a hockey game?

    My friends and I we would want to paint our bodies for a hockey game, is that okay in an arena, because i have never seen it before. I have seen it in outdoor sports though.Is it okay for you to paint your body for a hockey game?
    Its okay if yeh want to! just warning you might be coldIs it okay for you to paint your body for a hockey game?
    Sure....it shows suport for your team....but do it only if you dress in green and support the Dallas Stars!!!!!!
    try to show your support but bring a pair of clothes cuz lots of indoor sports facilities dont allow body paint but its worth a try
    depends on the paint remember not house paint make up stuff like halloween maybe but you sweat so not great idea at all this stuff will run down into eyes.
    of course it's ok, you gotta support the team
    yeah! just because Im a girl and ice skates dosent mean Ive never been to a hockey game!








    ITS TOATTLY WILD!
    Yes it is ok, but remember one point: you know those girls that are overweight and wear thongs...do not try this at a hockey game with body paint!
    what part?
    Yeah! Especially during the playoffs!
    Depends on the arena. A lot of times if you'll go to the arena's website, it should tell you there. Or you can just call up there and ask. They may just say the front of the bodies only, or none at all, etc.
    Sure! I've done that plenty of times to NHL games. I'm sure if they allow it there, then they would anywhere.
    you could call the arena's office and ask them what their policies are on the matter
    Sure why not?!
    I don't know! I think it depends on the stadium. At Scott Trade (formerly Savvis) in St. Louis, I got kicked out for beating on the boards after a goal! Now thats some bullsh*t! I'd give it a shot!
    I would say, try to show up early with the paint on, so if they don't let you in for being a nutball, you have time to go home and shower before the game starts.
    I don't think any professional sports area has any rules against body paiting. You'll be fine.
    hell ya, sombody has to bring fun back!!!!!!!!!
    yes its OK to paint your body

    -thank you for helpingHow much does it cost to install a full body kit with paint?
    About $1000. You should install the body kit yourself and sand down your car to save yourself some money there. Labor is expensive. That should save you $200-$300.How much does it cost to install a full body kit with paint?
    a few g's for sure.
    Dont do it, 99% of body kits are worse than the factory look, and it doesnt make your car any faster. People laugh at body kits and for a good reason.
    alot of that depends on which shop you use . paint can be cheap or it can cost alot get severa lestimate and never go with the cheapest in paint you get what you pay for in the cheap stuff and you dont want it peeling off in a rear or two or not matching your color good ask your local speed shop who they use

    What would an outside sales representative for a paint and body shop entail?

    All I know is it involves going to car dealerships and trying to get business. What would an outside sales representative for a paint and body shop entail?
    It would involve alot of you promoting and building up other people's business. You basically would be doing some cold calling and pitching the body shop to potential customer. If you gonna do any type of sales or marketing why not go for top dollar. There are many great opportunities in this day and age but a traveling sales person isn't on of them. That's what you will basically be, I have tried everything from affiliate marketing to online surveys and I learned several things. That all the work you put into those companies doesn't add up to much. I work a full-time job, but I need more to help me with the rising cost of everything. But if you want a real opportunity to make some money here's what you look for in an online company.





    1. If you decide to sell a product it has to be in high demand and be very low in cost.





    2. You don't want a fly by night company......look for an established business with 5, 10, 20 or 30 years in business.





    3. Find a publicly traded company to work for that's on the New York stock exchange.





    4. Does the company have growth every year that's it's been in business??? It should or that's not the direction you want to go in





    There are incredible opportunities online if you follow these steps.....I also know of a home business and a company with all of these credentials. If interested drop me a line at jheard7607@yahoo.com

    ?Why did aboriginal tribes use body paint?
    i saw on a documentary that they do that to attract the opposite sex.Why did aboriginal tribes use body paint?
    Aboriginal body painting is an old tradition that has been carried out for thousands of years.They used different body paintings during the spiritual celebrations, depending on the beliefs of the tribe. Also They were a means of communication - they showed what age and status the person had and what relationship the person had to his/her family group. Once they have been painted they couldn't change it, and they couldn't paint themselves it was a job of a family member.
    Here's a couple places to look.

    Your best bet is to honestly just do it yourself. Even if a shop would do it, it would be an easy grand(no pun intended). Besides, whats a few cans of laquer and a drop cloth really cost? Don't forget your face mask.

  • What are the best method to generate more business for a auto body repair paint shop ?

    we are a small company and just starting out.What are the best method to generate more business for a auto body repair paint shop ?
    Two ideas...





    Drive around a residential area and look at cars in the driveways. If you see one with damage then estimate the cost to repair it and knock on the door and let the owner know about your business and give them the estimate and a business card.





    One body shop in my area that is on a slightly busy street likes to take a car that's been damaged and put it on display close to the street for a week or so then they repair the car and put it back on display for a week or so that way you can see the quality of the work they do. Usually they do it with cars that look as those they've been totalled.What are the best method to generate more business for a auto body repair paint shop ?
    if you're just starting out you'll probably have to advertise. once you gotten established you need to do good work at a reasonable price. word of mouth will bring in the most customers.
    Put your business card on the window of every car you see in the parking lots that have some kind of body damage.
    an online film that catches people's attention like this free one.





    http://www.coca-cola.com/icokeplatform/h鈥?/a>
    Find a direct mailer that is relatively inexpensive and goes out to a large group of people. Or find a last minute deal with a newspaper to advertise. To be successful, I've noticed that our ads don't do well unless they are 1/4 page. If you can find a good deal on a full page, that is awesome. Also, whomever you advertise with, ask them about how many people they reach.


    Look professional always. Have business cards, uniforms, and get referrals from customers that you have done.


    Also, if you have a website (get one if you don't), put customer testimonials on the site. People always feel more comfortable with a company that they see has done good work for other people. Maybe try to put a before/after picture of the cars that you do on the website as well.





    Also...when people come to your shop, ask them how they heard about you, so that you know how effective your advertising is, and can cut out ineffective forms.
    If you accept insurance claims, I would call the insurance companies in 100 mile radius and start from there..If you don't then advertise as much as you can. Car signs I think work great, do a catchy paint job on one of your own that would really catch the eye then your company name under it. Hey its free advertising, do your wifes car, or your friends for free - if they wouldn't mind riding around advertising for you. Worth a try
    First you need to advertise your company to let people know that you exist. Radio, Coupons in the Newspaper, TV etc. Radio advertisement is pretty reasonabley priced as well as newspaper.





    After you build your clientell base it's up to you to provide exceptional service. The automotive industry is sometimes looked down upon because people feel like it is easy to get ripped off. If you provide excellent service and build trust with your customers your best advertisement will be your current customers referring friends and family.
    How about a female appraiser?
    Well, I don't want to state the obvious.





    Guess you've already thought about advertising? That can work, but that can be really expensive.





    How about something that could be cheaper to start out with? Like the local paper.





    Sometimes there are free papers, esp. in small towns, and they're biggest thing is advertising.





    But everybody is drawn to read them, cause they have little facts, and games, community calendar, and it's a great way to find out what is going on and what is happening.





    How about car newspapers that are free? Like trading posts? Cause' if somebody gets a nice deal on something older, or whatever, or if they're own is banged up, they might say, Hey that is what I can do! I can have it repro-ed!





    Town laundry? Grocery? They all have bulletin boards, and you could possibly spin off a nice add right on the printer.





    Here's a great free idea. Go to the local library and arrange for the computer tech to help you do that.





    If ya know how, or know somebody that knows how, you could get a low cost or possibly free website right from Yahoo for the business. Good Luck!


    There is a space bar where you can look up and resource any of the questions on this board. So try putting in Websites for businesses? Either in there or on any spacebar in Yahoo. That should tell ya alot. Also right in you're own email, there may be ads.

    You might also try mayo....... works for tree pitch and other things.





    Iam not sure you can absorb lead through the skin in that form. I have never seen a study on it. I do know you CANNOT ! absorb it by handling raw lead or dried lead paint.





    If lead is in Tetraelthy form (TEL) and you get that on your skin you don't get sick.... You get dead.....








    For more info please read http://home.mindspring.com/~wrltc/lswp.p鈥?/a>





    Its a book I wrote about the subjectHow do you remove high heat lead paint from body?
    I would call a doctor, lead can be absorbed through the skin, and can cause lead poisoning, you might also consider calling poison control (1-800-222-1222 in the U.S.) for advice
    P-Nut Butter , just plain ol cheap PNut Butter. It will remove the paint harmlessly and with little of no effort. Same if it gets in the hair.

    How much would a full body paint plus body kit cost?

    If your asking for how much it will cost to paint a full car and body kit, expect at least $1,500 worth of paint.. It's not cheap and depending on what kind of paint, it could cost a lot more.How much would a full body paint plus body kit cost?
    it really depends on the quality of the job and how much prep work is done before hand. under $1000 its a crappy job and you'll be pissed with it. $3000-$5000 better quality, you'll like it. $5000 +....show car quality.








    it depends on how good you want it to look. you could always get the macco $250 special, but then your car would look horrid.

    Go to a second hand store, my girfriend did the same last year, and picked up and old wedding dress for æ‹¢10.00. She then got some fake blood, and once I had her in the garden, I squirted her all over with it. It looked really good. You really don't want to risk anything decent, and you can go to town a bit more with a 2nd hand dress.Im dressing up as a zombie bride, how do i stop body paint getting on my wedding dress?
    easiest way is not to use that dress. go to a charity shop, they usually have a couple. the bonus for your look is that the dress will look older and more dishevled plus you can do what you want to it.


    As for props, could you adapt a hand bouquet thing so that it looks embedded in part of you (out the side of your head or something)
    you cant one way or the other you are goin to get make up on you


    its always the way

    How do paint my body completely red without it coming off on my clothing?

    my sister is dressing up as hell girl for a convention and she needs to know what kind of products to use and where is the best place to get them. ^_^ please include links!!How do paint my body completely red without it coming off on my clothing?
    I bought my makeup from a costume shop... but I can tell you right now that it WILL come off on your cloths... I'm sure you can buy some sort of sealant or something to lock in the cream based paint.





    @ Gwen... that's cool... did it come off at all?How do paint my body completely red without it coming off on my clothing?
    Haha, I know this will sound weird,


    But I couple of years ago my sister went to a halloween party and needed her skin to be blue.


    She used Kool-Aid, and a lot of it.


    She just dumped it in a bathtub and laid in there for a while.





    No, it didn't come off on her clothing, and the color came off her skin with a little scrubbing the next 2 days.

    Help! I want to be a silver tin man for halloween, but there isn't silver body paint in Thailand. How?

    Yes, definitely get a silver mask, and don't spray-paint yourself! There's a story about the original Tin Man -- he got sick from the body paints they used to make him shiny, and he had to quit. The job went to the guy who is now the one famous for being the Tin Man.





    See this from Wiki:





    Casting The Wizard of Oz was problematic, with actors shifting roles repeatedly at the beginning of filming. One of the primary changes was in the role of the Tin Man. Ray Bolger, and Buddy Ebsen (later famous for his role as Jed Clampett on the 1960s TV showu The Beverly Hillbillies) was to play the Scarecrow.[6] Bolger, unhappy with being assigned the role of the Tin Man, convinced producer Mervyn LeRoy to recast him in the role of trhe Scarecrow. Ebsen did not object to the change; he recorded all of his songs, went through all the rehearsals as the Tin Man and started filming with the rest of the cast.[9] However, nine days after filming began, Ebsen suffered a reaction to the aluminum powder makeup he wore as the Tin Man; the powder had coated his lungs from his breathing it in as it was applied daily. By that point in critical condition, Ebsen had to be hospitalized and left the project. MGM did not publicize the reasons for Ebsen's departure until decades later in a documentary about the movie, and even his replacement, Jack Haley, did not initially know the reason.





    The makeup used for Jack black Haley was quietly changed to an aluminum paste makeup; although it did not have the same dire effect on Haley, he did at one point suffer from an unpleasant reaction to it. Despite his near-death experience with the makeup, Ebsen outlived all the principal players, although his film career was damaged by the incident. His career did not fully recover until the 1956s, when he began a string of popular film and TV series appearances that would continue into the 1980s. Although his lungs had presumably recovered from the effects of the powder makeup, he eventually died from complications from pneumonia on July 6, 2003 at the age of ninety-five.[10]

    So play it safe, and wear a mask.

    Wrap your body, legs and arms in aluminum foil. Get a can of silver spray paint from a hardware store and spray paint some gloves and a plain face mask to wear. If you want to look like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz movie, buy an oil funnel and spray paint that as well, then wear it on top of your head.Help! I want to be a silver tin man for halloween, but there isn't silver body paint in Thailand. How?
    you could use aluminum foil to cover the pieces of your costume or gray spray paint if you can find that and maybe sprinkle silver colored dust on it, like what you would find in a craft store.

    Didn't you ask this a few weeks ago? If you do a search you will find a similar question if not. I believe the winning answer turned out to be menstrual blood rather than any paint due to risking inflammation of the vagina and urethra as well as difficulty cleaning things out afterwards.

    is it covered by the insurance?How much does it cost for a whole body car paint?
    if you are trying to sell it you can get a maaco paintjob for about 3-500 dollars but it wont last too much more than a year. Or you can go to a paint and body shop and get a good job done for about 1000 dollars, since you arent changing the color it shouldnt be too high. The term you get what you pay for comes in mind here.How much does it cost for a whole body car paint?
    it depends on many factors
    You didn't give enough information for a good answer. Was it in an accident? If it is covered by insurance, then it doesn't matter, if they say they will repaint it.


    The costs can vary greatly. From around a 1000 up to 10 or 15 for a custom graphic show quality paint job.
    no it's not covered by insurance unless you were in a wreck or had vandalism done to the car, paint jobs vary from cheap jobs of $300. to great paint jobs at $10,000, just go get some estimates.
    too much like everything else

    I was wondering how to make body paint ?

    Im painting my self green for halloween this year but i don't have a lot of money to buy the paint. So if you know how to make it with things that aren't to expensive and easy to find I would really appreciate itI was wondering how to make body paint ?
    Be very careful trying to save money using some other type of paint. Modern face and body paints are made according to stringent guidelines, meaning these are non-toxic, usually non-allergenic, and can easily be washed away. These are either applied with hands, paint brush, and natural sea sponge, or alternatively with an airbrush. Contrary to the popular myth perpetuated by the James Bond film Goldfinger, a person is not asphyxiated if their whole body is painted, although wearing body paint for a prolonged period may cause heat stroke by inhibiting perspiration. Liquid latex may also be used as body paint and allows for better perspiration, however care should be taken to avoid the painful removal of hair when the latex is pulled off.

    If i buy a body kit for my eclipse, can i have the paint matched and just paint the body kit?

    I want to buy this bomber body kit, but i dont want to spend 3000 dollars on a paint job if i can just match the paint and have the body kit painted. Its black so I dont think it would be hard to match. Please tell me if and where i can get it done, thanks.If i buy a body kit for my eclipse, can i have the paint matched and just paint the body kit?
    You would be better off getting the whole car painted at once. No matter how good they try to match the paint nobody can get an exact match. That is unless the car is brand new. The reason being is sun fad, chemicals in the rain, waxing the old paint. All of these can change the color slightly and unevenly. However, unless the car will increase in value of the overall paint job, which is unlikely, then just paint the new body work to as close as possible.If i buy a body kit for my eclipse, can i have the paint matched and just paint the body kit?
    just paint it yourself dude. thats what i did with my body kit and it turned out fine

    Does sealing the body in paint dangerous?

    I read an article that said it was OK to do so and siteing that the skin doesn't breathe. I am certain this practice of painting the skin includes keeping an area of the skin bare to ensure the skin can function properly. It is entirely possible that the fictional character in GoldFinger was killed and then painted. But what happens if the skin is really sealed? I would like to ensure people aren't misled into a dangerous practice. Please use links to articles too.Does sealing the body in paint dangerous?
    Yes in the first wizard of OZ the first tin man became very sick because his skin could not breath causes the body to over heat


    They had to let him go and get another first one was hospitialized.Does sealing the body in paint dangerous?
    No, that's not true. Buddy Ebson, the actor originally signed on to play the Tin Woodsman, had an allergic reaction to the aluminum-based make-up, and that's why he was replaced.

    Report Abuse



    A few months ago there was something on TV re: debunking myths.To proove if true, they painted a guy entirely in gold paint but they had him wired up to monitor heart, blood pressure, pulse, etc., and they found out it was very dangerous to do that as the skin cannot breathe and the guy nearly passed out and all his vital signs were starting to go critical.
    Your biggest danger from painting yourself would be heat exhaustion. The paint clogs the sweat glands diminishing your ability to lose heat. If you're just going to sit there, then you'd probably be okay (not that I'm advocating covering yourself in paint, mind you). And the skin doesn't ';breathe'; in the truest sense of the word; as long as you don't clog up your nose with paint you won't suffocate. And the woman in Goldfinger didn't die; she's alive and well today. And despite the fact that Jaimie did suffer a blood pressure fluctuation while covered in paint, the Mythbusters busted this myth.
    have you ever wathced ';mythbusters';....it's a cool show where they do experiments to test out popular myths....


    they did a ';goldfinger'; experiment where they painted themself in gold paint.....and they found that in a short period of time his blood pressure started to rise and the paramedic advised him to remove the paint


    they might have a website where you can check it out
