Ian Faulds Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 can you brush paint the cellulose sold in the club shop, I am thinking off brushing the new floorpans and interior so they are the correct colour. I don't have spraying equipment yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Ian, I just brush painted my floor pans with Hammerite yellow, turns out a surprisingly close match to my original mimosa. However, I ask myself why bother with a close match? I'm gonna cover in Silent Coat sound/heat resistant squares and who's ever going to see it?

Gully Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 My floor pans are zinc rich primer grey... However, I do know the Club Shop touch up pots are excellent and brush easily, so if the tins are the same source (a question for the shop), then they should brush on too.

Ian Faulds Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 thanks for the replies , I know its not seen and I bought a tin of gloss red (cars pimento) but its a bit too red, just wondered if you could brush the clubs cellulose straight from the tin. I was going to buy the club paint anyway when I paint the car but im years off that yet, but was thinking to buy early to paint the floors, that's another thing does cellolose keep? I would guess best use it when its new . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 all paint can ultimately 'age' but if tin is sealed , should be fine , so dont keep opening to have a look and for under carpets etc its a lot less hassle to use a good exterior household paint of a close colour match pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I had a part tin supplied with car, of what I assumed was celly (as the brush cleaned well with celly thinners). only thing I noticed when using a brush, was that it starts to dry very quickly (especially in warm weather), so if doing bit more area, than a small touch up it has to go on quick.

Colin Lindsay Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Japlac Signal Red is a very very close match to our cars, and it's brush on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebaby Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Ian, I’ve brushed the shop cellulose on the floor of my GT6. It works best when cold and you need a well loaded brush to avoid marks (it’ll start dragging within a minute) I’d recommend you don’t do this on anywhere that’s not going to be covered up though.

Pete Lewis Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Brushing celly needs slow thinners , You dont see japlac around these days but we painted sons nappy yellow mini red with a white roof with japlac brushed and rollered , Excellent stuff and supa cheap make over and done in a morning Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red was a great match, plus the green was excellent for Landrovers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave thanks for the tips about the celly chaps. I think ill just prime and red gloss it as I was going to do. ill keep a lookout for japlac, reckon it was bought by international paints. next job is body off, but a couple of weeks away yet as I need to tidy the garage. I was going to put the body on tressles which I was going to get some wood and make, but I picked up couple of mk1 black& decker workmates so ill use those, they take 165kg each so be well ok. their a lot stronger looking than the new ones. form there ill be measuring up for the rotisserie. so that's my next few jobs. great advice on here, thanks. when I start in earnest ill do a resto page on the resto chapter. itll be slow though.

p7rider Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Years ago I bought a tin of industrial enamel from a farm garage for tractors.its been brilliant on my chassis and floors for 30 years . I think it was a Ford tractor blue . Great match for Pageant blue . The paint company if I remember was from Birmingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
