    Default post up your paint jobs, any and all.

    bad or good I want to see them. you guys have seen all of mine, and they are all sold

    started out with the rustoleum home depot job outside in the cold.






    moved on to real paint.






    and the crx, wasn't too proud of it but it works.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sometimes I think that I would have enjoyed doing paint and bodywork a lot more than I do studying electrical engineering.
