    Default Somebody help please! Im confused

    Hello people,
    My names tris and I drive a modified defender that is needing a little tlc paintwork wise, I know how to spray as I used to help my friend in a bodyshop, The problem is he just gave me the paint and I would spray so I dont know about types of paint really.
    So here is what I have so far: 2 Litres of cellulose
    2 Litres of upol acrylic standard thinners
    2 Litres of 1k acrylic lacquer
    1 litre of etch primer for a few repairs
    1 litre of etch activator

    I would be so so grateful if somebody would tell me if that lot is okay to spray with, Cellulose is all I can afford at the moment.
    I guess my main worry is can the upol thinners thin the cellulose paint? And will the acrylic lacquer be okay over cellulose?

    Please help!

    Kindest regards to all
    Tris

    To tell you the truth I don't know what you mean by cellulose. Are you talking about nitrocellulose lacquer? If so is it top coat material or primer?

    It doesn't sound like you have enough material to do much painting. It's probably enough to do a very small car.

    Thanks for the reply len, Its cellulose gloss car colour thats all I know im afraid, And I had a feeling I didnt have enough paint, So do you think the paint will go with the acrylic thinners?

    Kind regards tris
