auto air colors

anyone used these paints? what's the pro's? i'd also like to see any vehicles painted with them..thankschris

no one? i know all hills hot rods use them but they custom mix them for diff colors

Okay, I've replied to this topic many times in the past but here's my 2cents...
For freehand work it's fine but I've had problems with it lifting when I did multiple taped graphics. I can't risk a time consuming design on it. Now someone's gonna' reply that I didn't 'heat' between coats or I didn't do something right, etc. I personally don't like the idea of another step between spraying colors. i.e. using a dryer after I spray a layer.

Now I've seen total jobs that looks great. They have great colors and trick effect colors but for ME, I would only use it for mural type work. Why don't you buy some and try it for yourself? Good luck and have fun.

hey check out the stuff Mickey Harris painted he uses auto air colors in all of his jobs....i have heard only good stuff about the paint

It is awesome paint. You do have to use heat but it is worth it when you see the final result.

i thought i would let u guys know i tried it on my truck and i have never did any airbrush work or design work before at all so i gave it a shot and tried it on my firewall only problem i had when i tried using yellow it didnt work well so i changed it to silver check my profile i just added a pic of the firewall i thought thestuff worked pretty well but it was a first time for me

I noticed Fraser has this same topic in his section so you might want to read what he said about the stuff...pretty much what I think.

Guess im old school ill stick to my urethanes...........

water based paint is LAME!

I wouldnt say there are any benefits over urethanes beside the fact that you wont die if you breathe the stuff in or get it on you Im not a pro painter by any means if you go to my profile that asphalt roller was done with auto air and cleared with urethane. Its very easy to use but like they said you have to heat it after every coat and if you doing grapchics they make a clear base coat you can use so it doesnt bleed throught the tape because it will.
