Automotive Paints FAQs
What’s the best automotive paint for restoring classic car bodywork?
For period-accurate finishes on vintage cars, enamel coatings like HMG Coach Enamel are widely used due to their authentic gloss and colour retention. They're ideal for models from the 1940s to 1970s and can be applied by brush or spray.
Can automotive paints be used on aluminium panels?
Yes, but aluminium requires specialist primers. Products like etch primers are essential to ensure adhesion and prevent oxidation before applying topcoats such as enamel or polyurethane finishes.
Is there a paint suitable for vehicle exhaust systems?
Yes, heat-resistant paints are essential for components like exhausts. These coatings are designed to tolerate high temperatures without blistering or flaking. Always check that the product is rated for exhaust systems.
Can I paint over existing finishes with automotive paint?
Most automotive paints can be applied over existing coatings if the surface is clean, sound, and properly abraded. Using a compatible primer or undercoat may be necessary depending on the condition and material.
Are these paints suitable for use in home garages?
Yes, many of the products are formulated for both professional and domestic use. Be sure to follow ventilation and safety guidelines, especially when using solvent-based coatings in enclosed spaces.
