hey slow600,whats cheap?

Icerider:
A buddy of mine is a professional painter and has done two tanks for me. It goes like this, sand done to 600 grit, coat of sealer (must have a hardener mixed in), two coats of high solid primer with hardner, sand, 2 coats of base color, then apply any decals, 3 coats of clear. Looks killer for 1-2 years then will start to crack. The key is the hardner being added to prevent the gas fumes from attaching the paint. No spray bomb paint will stay.

Purple tank... ouch

turtle22:
d**n this is hella weak. i hate when a good deal cost me more then i expacted. d**n. i will check in to the sealer or if Cam tells me more about the dying. d**n

slow600:
the method using rit dye does work on going from lighter colors to darker. it will not work on purple.
