Hammer time

[FatJanky]

Just a little project of mine to switch it up on the Reo. I've never used a hammer tone spray paint nor was I sure if I was even gonna like it, but I'd have to say it makes my Reo look damn good!

looks great, just like how ichiro looks better in pinstripes. Just sayin...

Yeah, we'll find the good players, then sell 'em to ya' cheap. We're nice that way out here. (easy to be nice like that when winning isn't really a goal)

 

[yaypudding]

well the yanks are due for another 15 year slump, so when you're done with 'em I'm sure we got money to spare, i mean waste.

Janky, what brand spraypaint did you use?

 

[FatJanky]

I used a rustoleum hammered spray paint.

And it's fine, it's all for the love of the game

Good stuff. I recently sprayed my RM2 with the same stuff.

Now I'm getting more ideas! Lol
The heat doesn't affect the spray paint.

I accelerated the paint drying process in my oven set to 200º with no ill effects. Unless you're chain vaping in a sauna, the cap won't get hot enough to harm the paint.

 

[FatJanky]

No more sauna vaping, check. Lol

What in the way of prepping did you do before painting?

 

[FatJanky]

Prepping how? Like the removal of the old paint or the actual cleaning and scuffing?

 

[oplholik]

Whatever it was you did. Removal of old paint, or anodize, and scuffing and cleaning. Not sure if you would have to remove the old paint or anodize as long as it was scuffed up and cleaned tho.

I'm not totally sure about whether or not all paint would have to be removed, but if it were up to me, i would take it down to bare metal.

For my RM2 cap, I sanded the plating and copper off with sandpaper. I cleaned the outer surface with acetone to remove any residual oils.

Two coats of paint, an hour bake at 200° in the oven and it was ready to rock.

The op did reply to my pm. He removed the anodizing down to bare metal with a wire brush on a dremel (if I recall). Wouldn't worry about scuff marks as the hammered paint is textured and you won't see them.

And as Face told me ...make sure you mask the slider slots on the REO as well as the flanges on the door so the door will still fit!
