    my local poundland has got loads of different car spray paints in atm, would it be ok to spay alloys with this paint aslong as i spay halfrauds lacure over the top of it or would it be poor quality paint?

    i used some on my grill when it went grey and its still shiny black even after the rubbish winter we had

    cheers

    ive used it, its actually ok, im currently doing my vtr's with the white 'primer' from poundland, but yet it seems to be gloss haha. its turning out nice, and for a pound a tin, its definately worth it, if only they did clear lacquer!

    Be careful with shite paint, alot of lacquer's will react with it.

    everything i have sprayed has been primed in pounland primer, i figured it wont be seen yadda yadda and the quality of paint & laquer i use is really good anyway

    for £1 its well worth it.

    got some yesterday to try it on interior vents, got grey primer and white gloss and the stuff is lethal, sprayed outside and the smell of it followed me in its that bloody strong. finish isnt all that grate but what do you expect for a quid,gonna sand off and get some better stuff.

    maybe useful for touching up alloys but dont go near if you want a decent job. hope this helps some of ya

    saw this thread last week, popped into poundland to pick up some blank CD's and saw the spray paints, so i brought a grey primer, Black and a white primer which is basically gloss white. Definetly work a pound.

    I agree with this 100% it's a cellulose paint so it's all thinners and basically shit it is full of voc has no uv qualities so whatever shine you get will last no time at all and for the people who say it's good quality you need to get out more and see some proper paint finishes done by the pro's and people who have a clue.

    Rant over.

    mate i bought some a few weeks back to tidy up a mini quad for a mate, was nearly sick when i realised it was cellulose, crippled mylung for days

    the paint wouldnt adhere or anything, it was coming out like cob webs...and after 3 hours drying time..i touched it to see if it was tacky... and it peeled off on my finger

    primer was still totally intact

    Yeah mate I used some once to paint the house numbers on the gate and never again. The best aerosol by far is u-pol it comes in 600ml cans is fully voc compliant (won't kill you or the earth) and is uv and buffer safe in 3 hours and for the extra 3 quid it's well worth it (I don't advise aerosol at all but if needs must use upol.)
