i dont have any pics of all the cars i've painted, i paint at a body shop doing OEM refinishing so theres no real point in me taking pics. anways it looks good, looks like you learned a lot and have progressed to a pretty decent painter man.

Oh i found 1 that i thought was kinda cool some year AMC.

[thinkskater]

your sig is the flippin shiznit.

[VQ35 Star]

yo i just noticed, for a cleaner paint job and less material usage you should try and remove most of the parts on the car, like the door handles, and the window mouldings and door mouldings it should help with the clear build up and it looks cleaner.

[Sir_Christopher]

the crx? was that the one that was sitting at mainstream?

poly based paints also help. i sprayed dimont(sp?) at teh shop i use to work at and i swear you could pannel paint a car with that stuff. mixed 2-1.

[VQ35 Star]

yea we use standox paints and everything is mixed 2:1 base/clear

[bdydrpdmazda]

PPG paint FTW

Yeah i agree. Somehow it reminds me of a rootbeer. haha

[VQ35 Star]

[Truegiant]

I have done some rattle can stuff but I have never had the patience to do all the proper prep work.

[greasemunkey]

it really is worth it in the end, well on things that you see with horrible paint everywhere like a crx. I never see any just pass me by that look almost new.

[VQ35 Star]

the better the prep, the better the finish.

[GsrCrx]

Anybody here would be interested in painting a 65 thunderbird??? 85 regal??? 55 bleair???
PM me so you can give me a price and let me know when you can start.......

[greasemunkey]

...could not stand the yellow, too flashy, too ATL for me...

went with a hotrod black lacquer primer, $25 later this is how it looks now:

sorry for the huge, crappy cell phone pictures...and sorry, no, they aren't getting smaller because i am that lazy....and working

[SNOOPy00]

Thats honestly the only thing that annoys me with you honda and nissan 240 guys, you cant even halfass the paintjob...worse than any trend with civics imo

[VQ35 Star]

thats because people are ether lazy or dont know any better. a lot of people think painting something one color is just to cover up shit. lol wtf.

[5speed]

^^ agree, even a 300 dollar paint job would be better than that. BTW if you dont have patience to prep and paint then why the fuck are you into modifying cars?

spent so much time on the body work that ya forgot to fill the front tire up :ninja:

[FAM0U5]

I wanna learn to paint and do body work..

[dallasb84]

what did you use?


not sure what you mean....

i used my sata jet and a dewalt compressor with a inline water filter.....


paint color is obsideon black (g35 black very very little metal flake, like almost none) sherwin william 7000

clear is sherwin williams hpc15 air bake. this is the best product ive ever used and is well worth the money.... it shoots just like normal but drys in a matter of minutes.... literally you can wet sand and buff in 20 minutes.

i almost had a sag on my lower rocker because well my driveway doesnt have lights and i couldnt see from the shade..... well i shot it heavy in a spot from trimmin the wheel well and i saw it start to head south..... but then it was like FREEEEEEZE! and thats it..... didnt even curl into a sag or anything.... sweet stuff.

the clear is like 300 a gallon but you use less paint. about 2 cups covered my car....

i panel painted the front end and the rear bumper.... then masked the quarters and doors.........

i sprayed and did most of the bodywork in one 10 hour day.

again with the clear you spray one coat then hit it with a second heavy(final coat) immediately after the first coat then your done. after about 7 minutes or so trash started to fall on the car like dust and bugs and so on....... but too late clear was hard :)

[Sir_Christopher]

yea. the paint used was Sherwin Williams base/clear kit


i definitaly got the rims, tokiko illumina's with skunk 2 coils and the skunk2 mega power exhaust off that car haha.

[d16_turbo]

[chuck]

yo, your friend brandon, did he used to drive a riced out orange honda accord?

LOL I think that IS him seeing there are HALL county tags also lolol i went to school with him at Lanier Tech for automotive collision repair!

yeah, that was him...and i drove the MR2 widebody project...you probably went to school with me too, i graduated a couple semesters before him, was in a hurry to get out of that place...but if you knew him, i'd be almost impossible to not know me. me and him go back, had a couple shops together, still painting and doing the fiberglass systems together


we gonna do the same flat black to his CTS-V next weekend

[BluesClues]

I had my car painted the stock Mercedes black Omni something lol. Can't think of the full name, it's hard to pronounce. The only difference is it's a little darker of a black than the stock black on the civics and it doesn't have a pearl (civic blacks have blue pearl) just metallic flakes. I love it though!

[FAM0U5]

I use standox at work :D
but this is an older pic, i no longer use my Iwatas bc we switched to standox clear also and it recommends a 1.2 for clear so i switched over to a 1.2 Sata jet 3000RP and a 1.3 Sata Jet 3000HVLP for base.
But I do love the Iwatas more than my Satas.
