spyder918 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Looking to repaint the snout on my RS bucket. What paint do you guys use/recommend? Do you brush, air brush, spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I used masking tape, artists curve tape for the top curved part, and rusto flat black spray paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenyone Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I used a 1/8 3M striping masking tape (automotive) to follow the curve at the top of the snout and a general purpose matte/satin rattle can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder918 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Great tips...thank you guys! So did you guys primer, mask off the snout, then do the final coat of white? Or did you not mask off the snout at all and go back to paint it after the final coat of white? I'm trying to figure which process would be least painful but still have the snout come out cleanly. I'm thinking if I go back to paint the snout after everything then I'd have to sand the snout..strip off the gloss and paint etc. which seems harder.

HSM76 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 For masking I made a stencil out of vinyl:Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A6013 mit Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a small area....and it's not a large flexible portion of the face late. So I wouldn't worry too much about it flaking off without primer. I painted my face plate too, then just went back a day or so later, masked the snout and sprayed it. Let it dry again for 24hrs and E6000'ed the greeblie on. Don't overthink it....All is well.

Chopper Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 As long as you're using the same brand of paint, you should be a-ok to paint the snout area in black on top of the gloss white paint. No need to strip anything back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
