When getting braces, how much extra on average does it cost to get the clear acrylics vs. regular metal ones

I might have to get braces...but they will look horrible on me...so I want to know how much the acrylic clear ones would be compared to the regular metal ones


How much more would the acrylics cost on average?When getting braces, how much extra on average does it cost to get the clear acrylics vs. regular metal ones
a better choice then acrylic would be ceramic





its about 300 more i got metal on the bottom row and ceramic on top and honestly lots of people dont even notice that i have braces!





EDIT: another advantage of ceramic is that although it's clear, it doesn't stain!When getting braces, how much extra on average does it cost to get the clear acrylics vs. regular metal ones
my orthodontist costs like 500 - 1000 more. Depending on how your teeth are you might have to get normal braces before. Like they wouldn't give me the clear ones because of the way my teeth are. I thought i would look terrible with braces and i just got mine on and really theyre not that bad i can tell you that.
im getting silver because they dont turn a gross color like clear but were i went it cost 600 dollars more but it depends on where u go i went to Arkansa
We don't charge extra in my office anymore, but it used to be about $500.00 more.

Is the deluxe acrylic with sealer coat and polyurethane clear coat good for a paint job?

I see two auto body shops advertising these paints and clear coat deals in the newspaper and was wondering if these were good stuff for the low price. They are asking about $299-$349 for the paint, sealer, and polyurethane clear coat. And the $299 deal comes with a 4 year guarantee. I am just looking for something to freshen up my car and not going for a custom,show car paint job. I am also planning to sand and primer it myself or should I just let them spray it? (My car is white)Is the deluxe acrylic with sealer coat and polyurethane clear coat good for a paint job?
Is Deluxe the brand or just a description. It sounds very cheap. With paint, you really get what you pay for.





If you are just wanting a average white paint job, I would go to a auto paint store and get an acrylic enamel white paint. You should be able to get a gallon of paint with reducer and harder for $200 - $250. If you are just repainting (no body work) and your old paint is not peeling then you shouldn't have to use primer or sealer. Just wet sand with 400 grit and paint right over the old paint. With acrylic enamel you don't have to mess with a clearcoat.Is the deluxe acrylic with sealer coat and polyurethane clear coat good for a paint job?
I hate ';clear coat';


It fades, peels, and cracks.





ADDED:


Clear coat just make crappy paint less crappy looking.

White paint. Oh Jeeze....DON'T CLEAR COAT WHITE PAINT!
. Sanding and primering yourself is a good idea.

What clear solid surface can I peel acrylic paint off! I have used shipping plastic, need a solid sheet?

I am making paintings (fine art) that can be painted and lifted like large decals. I have used 6 mil shipping plastic, This works great, but is hell to format and non-permanent. I need to identify and locate a more stable substitute. (Clear plastic sheeting; large solid sheets that watersoluble paint will peel off of.)





I would think the same thing tupperware is made of (polypropylene), but cannot find it in flat clear sheets. Does anyone know what the clear painters pallettes are made of (melamine?) and if it is sold in sheets to the public?





I have been trying to put a finger on this for over 2 years--any help or leads out there?





thanxWhat clear solid surface can I peel acrylic paint off! I have used shipping plastic, need a solid sheet?
Poly carbon Lexan would work well. My husband was the plant manager for a place that made clear bottom kayaks and that it what they used. It comes in different thicknesses and is bulletproof. One of my hubby's fav tests for the buyer was to take a 12 lb sledgehammer and beat on the kayak to show how strong it was. It is also very lightweight. The whole kayak only weighed 38 lbs. I did the graphics on them and the acrylic should peel off nicely. If you would like more info go to my profile and e-mail me. Good luck!What clear solid surface can I peel acrylic paint off!

try some of your local sign painters. They have a lot of strange plastic sheets that they do signs on. I buy one type that you can stick to a car window and remove. I put signs on them so I can remove and reapply. That might even work. You could adhere it to a piece of glass ...do your paint application....let it dry and then remove.





Mylar from an art supply might work...
get a sheet of glass my friend and tape the edges in a good duct tape-also you can go to a plastics store and buy sheets of acrylic. Different thickness', different prices of course-buy something small-you can also go to crafts stores to buy pre-cut to use instead of glass in frames-check it out, I bet it will work. Worth a couple $$ to know-
Glass is good. Prepare the surface with a undiluted liquid soap wash and let that dry. Across that you do a quick layer of medium or any color you want. Quick is the key as you don't want to mix it with the soap to much. Let it all dry and do your thing.





It isn't the read-made solution you were looking for but this works very well.
Check out Home Depot or Lowes if you have one around. Plenty of things there.

HELP....I JUST PAINTED MY TRUCK WITH ACRYLIC ENAMEL, IT IS EXTREMELY ORANGE PEELED..CAN I WET SAND AND CLEAR?

WONDERING IF I CAN WET SAND AND APPLY CLEAR COAT.HELP....I JUST PAINTED MY TRUCK WITH ACRYLIC ENAMEL, IT IS EXTREMELY ORANGE PEELED..CAN I WET SAND AND CLEAR?
You can do what ever you want, but if you simply sand and clear coat, you'll have orange peal under clear coat...probably not the look you were going for.





Simply put, you screwed up the surface preparation or application of the paint. Time to strip and do it right.HELP....I JUST PAINTED MY TRUCK WITH ACRYLIC ENAMEL, IT IS EXTREMELY ORANGE PEELED..CAN I WET SAND AND CLEAR?
Yes,you can do that.The simplest and safest way to make it right would be to water sand it smooth with 400 grit.Then respray it with the color again.This time use a quality slower drying reducer and more of it.Spray at a higher pressure and apply a couple thin wet coats.
wet sand and then buff with fine rubbing compound to restore the gloss. acrylic enamel is not intended to have clear on it
