How big an area do you need to paint? As opposed to going through
all of the pain and expense of the 2 part epoxy gel-coats and paints,
I have opted to use Duplicolor Auto Lacquer spray bombs to paint small
touch up areas. The color that I have found best matches the older
Schwabelack on our Twin Astirs is Ford Performance White at about $8
per spray can. I use some primer first, and then 4-6 thin coats of the
lacquer, making sure it is tack dry in between coats to avoid runs.
Once the last coat is dry, I'll wet sand with 600-800-1000-1500-2000
and then buff to a high gloss. It may not be an absolute perfect
match, but it is pretty quick and easy, and I have found that the color
matches pretty darn closely..... I can totally re-do small areas from
start to finish in just a few hours.
