Re: [Quantum Owners] PAINT
A non-trade person isn't able (I believe) to buy 2 pack to spray because of the isocianate dangers. If you are getting it done professionally then there are various options, but you need to know it won't be put in an oven (ask Eddie Ruskin). Is the base coat you are considering a cellulose? with a 2pack lacquer over? You could always get a 2 pack brushing polyurethane paint from a boat stockist (ok re danger if you are only brushing) These are made by International Paints among others - would work out a lot cheaper. - Original Message - From: Jim Turner jim.tur...@talktalk.net To: Quantum Owners Group quantumowners@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 5:48 PM Subject: [Quantum Owners] PAINT Hi, What is the best paint type for fiberglass, two pack or base coat lacquer?

Re: [Quantum Owners] PAINT
I would always go for two pack as it is a much more durable paint and would steer well clear of basecoat and laquer. For some reason on plastic cars the laquer seems to lose adhesion to the underlying basecoat and flakes off. I have had 2 cars like this and have seen a lot of Lotus' the same. Maybe it is bad prep but I would play safe and chose a flat colour in 2 pack.

[Quantum Owners] Paint on Bonnet - Need a professional/advice
I had my 2+2 resprayed about 2 years ago, then the paint on the bonnet started to crack over the summer. I'm guessing because it was sprayed on too thick and not given enough time to cure or dry. I told them this and all i got back was That looks like some one has walked up and keyed it to me (obviously trying to shift the blame form them) Even though you can clearly see the movement where the paint has traveled in the gaps it has left. I then sent it back and they sprayed it again, same thing happened again over the summer. Don't want to deal with them again as they have no idea what they are doing. To this day you can dent the paint on the bonnet using a fingernail which makes me think it still hasn't dried correctly for some reason. Any ideas? Don't suppose anyone knows anyone able to spray fiberglass as i need the bonnet re-done. I had it resprayed at a place called Lightning crash repairs, just a word of advice for anyone that may think of using them. Don't. Here is a link to the photo album. I will try and embed an image, although i dont think it lets me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Paint on Bonnet - Need a professional/advice
Hi, Try Ewelm coach works. They specialise in glass fibre and are approved lotus and tvr repairers. Geoff had his done there, was not 100% happy and they resprayed it. Friend of mine used to work there.
