Had a bit of a read on the HX section about 308 and Absinth's thoughts on paint.

Below is a novice's perspective on spraying 2pak.

I am a complete novice spray painter, but recently restored a set of GTS rims for the van. I had the rims professionally blasted and primed in 2pak.

Painting them was not too hard and I guess with rims, you get to practice on the back where no-one sees.

Putting the silver on the rims was not too bigger problem and then the black - also not a problem.

When I came to spraying a clear 2pak over the top, this is where the problems started - this paint was about as thin as water and thus had a tendency to run. Once I got my head around how thin this was then I was ok.

Rims turned out a treat and I would recommend anyone to give it a go. - Only thing - 2pak is not that good for your health - I had access to a spray booth and purchased a good quality mask.
