Rust-Oleum
Before committing to a color scheme on my '62 Bonneville I'd like to just rattle can it with Rust-Oleum to see what it looks like first. I don't want to go to all the trouble of stripping the original finish at this point. I tried a small surface with just light sanding and wipe down with lacquer thinner. I got .. what I think is called ... orange peel. No doubt a reaction between the original lacquer with the rattle can.
Is there a primer or sealer that I can spray over the original lacquer that will prevent the reaction? As you can guess ... I'm not a body and fender guy. Thanks TS |

Orange peel happens when the paint doesn't flow out resulting in a smooth surface.
Orange peel isn't a reaction between products. Proper flow and leveling can be difficult to achieve with fizz can paint. John

Seems like an awful lot of trouble and expense to go through for what will be, most likely, poor results and a sore index finger..
Can't you just Google some pics?

Don't wipe down lacquer paint with lacquer thinner, that's definitely going to lift the old paint. Use wax and grease remover or mineral spirits (they're pretty much the same thing), and do it before you sand. Otherwise, I agree with Greg
