I mean yours looks pretty close way better than mine. Still pending to hear from lmr they said they were getting in touch with their vendor to verify the batch and will get back with me today. If they resend some cans I’ll just respray and see what happens if not then I’ll try the Napa red. This guys turned out pretty good as well, @Mustang5L5 swnt me this one.I used almost 2 cans, wasn't happy with the results, ordered 2 more rescuffed and went at it again with some heavy coats. If you see the paint drying before your finished it will look chalky. Mine came out ok but the color does not match. It has a brown in it that's not in the original color. The original Scarlet Red interior pieces are bright friggen red. As for my method, I don't know jack about painting so I just sprayed it until it was even and shiny. Here is the final result.
I usually call and chat with them, they send me an email while on the phone. I sent pics and what I did to prep and how many coats. They made it happen pretty quick, as well as the tail pipes I ordered not to long ago that were a little banged up. They sent me a new set, told me to leave the old damaged box and pipes outside the door and ups would pick up the bad set. They never picked up after a week of staying outside I declared them mine. Idk what to do with said extra set of tail pipesI haven’t even received a reply from LMR about mine. Which is really odd, usually they answer within a day or so.
Yeah I have no idea you would think it would be no problem. Maybe the red is just harder idk. I watch another video of a guy that did red and he cleaned it all with alcohol and what looks like one or two cans of spray. Maybe I’m spraying to close or to far.Can two? I'm just boggled by that concept.
I think I did 3 coats on can 1 and called it a day. I'm shocked you need that much coverage. Does it go on thin?
I mean, maybe black is just an easier color to dye? That could be it perhaps.
Yeah as you can see that three cans in total now. I still have my second new batch can to go but I’m not gettting my hopes up.If it doesn't come out good, I'd try the SEM paint. Cheap on eBay
Why am I getting so blotchy or whatever that is like you can see on the delete panelYou are laying way too much on... I did most of my interior with 4 cans.
Ok so at first I sprayed light just to get coverage and let it dry. Then I went back over it and I guess maybe I may have got a little heavy bc of course when it sprays and it’s wet and looks perfect in my head I did it right but then it drys and im stuck with what I have.Are you spraying until you see a good layer build up, or light thin coats?
I'd go hit and run and just do a quick fly by coat and then walk away. Let it dry and do it again. Its always tempting to spray until coated but you really can't do that
So more ain’t better you say!! Guess im learning.. not again dang it.I'm thinking it's your technique, get a couple cheap cans of paint and practice on some random plastic stuff. Don't keep running coat after coat on those pieces.
