bring up old thread guys. at first I wasn't going to post anything, but I thought this would be interesting to do and see how well it actually works.
i purchase a new mail box post support and it only came in a dark brown color and i wanted a white post.
only type of painting i have done all my life was using automotive paint and always had good results.
well i thought i would try something different and do something they say it can be done...yeah right...lol
first thing was to pull out all the parts and sand them with a 320 grit
then clean and clean the parts good for a white spray can job. first coat was a light coat and then two more coats. let that setup for about 2hrs or so and came back with one light coat of 2K clear and then to full coats.
I have to say I was very impressed how well it turn out. first I was surprised I had no reaction to the two part clear going on top of the white paint. clear coat comes out very nice out of the can. it has a good amount of spread pattern coming out. you could Easley spray a minibike fender and have the clear lay down nice and flat. if this holds up well over the winter with cold ice salt. this might not be a bad ideal to paint a minibike. especially for the guys that don't have a spray gun or a good compression..etc or even the money to spend the hundreds dollars of automotive paint etc...
for now we will see how well it holds up over winter. white paint was about $4 and the clear was around $20
