Paint job

[robolab]

my bj8 body is at the painter. He asks if he should paint the frame and the inner body panels glossy or matt.
What is the correct answer?

glossy

 

[Keoke]

Same type paint as used on the exterior body panels.:grin:

 

[glemon]

Glossy, however,I think sometimes if you are going basecoat clearcoat with the exterior, the painter will shoot the inside, frame etc. in a single stage (no clearcoat). Don't know if that is just because easier or other reasons too?

More durability with a glossy paint

My painter used a single stage gloss finish paint for the superstructure as it has more solids in it so goes on a bit thicker without runs and also saves labor as it doesnt need clearcoat .
exterior was done with base and clear with wetsanding etc .

Same as Healey Nut, except I did all the superstructure and underside of fenders. Saved a few bucks that way as well.
