Who paints cars for a living?


Recommended Posts

I am needing some advice on what type of paint to use.

Basically I am needing a two part paint that can be thinned. It also must be somewhat flexible with good adhesion.

It can be a flat or a gloss or anything in between.

What are you painting? I haven't painted in years but spent many years in and around body shops.

Painting bullets.

 

I am going to use the paint as a suspension for Bn, or some other metal, that will be the bullet lube. There have been others that have been doing this for years and I need to find a way to isolate the lead smoke from me as I shoot it.

 

I have been looking at different ways to coat the bullets. Initially I was going to use powder coating but it is too labor intensive to be convenient. I think tumble lubing using two part paint is the easiest wat to go.

do you have a PBE warehouse out there. At one time they where based here in Jackson and carried various forms of  paints. They are a
body shop supply house. All oil based enamals are thinable. Most two stage auto paints are two part and dry chemically. I would hit up your BS supply house near you and they will fix you up. This is a good idea and if I ever start casting might do some of this my self. I am going to make mine gold tho!!!!LOL

I am thinking of making them hot pink. That way no one will want to shoot my ammo at the range. Or maybe use red for supersonic and green for subsonic.

 

Or I wonder if I used glow in the dark paint and attached a flashlight at the end of the barrel I could make some "tracers". I have already tried the glow dots and trust me when I say they suck.

lol Dont count on the pink theory. I used to keep a pair of pink trauma sheers in the rubber band on my fire helmet. I was operating on the same theory and they were gone in no time. Lets just say neither of my Leutenants (the only females in my station) were the ones who took them.
