DIY: Stop having an ugly primer paint job.

[1439/2000]

It's a $35 paint job man. I see absolutely nothing stupid at all about it. It's not what YOU would do, great. But for others who might not care, it's great. It's sort of like the internet and people who talk out of their ass......you can't teach stupid. But i'm gonna try with you.

If you don't care about a paint job then why paint it? It looks like a bad paint job to me. It's blue which isn't primer so that's a start but save your money and do it right. I don't want to paint my car because its just going to get keyed? Ugly hazy blue is the same as ugly hazy primer.

For the record I sprayed my bmw 2002 with a gravity feed gun and home depot paint in the garage and it turned out 10000x times better for maybe 25 bucks more. Short memories on here.

Looks like a matte-blue color, guess you won't have to worry about getting scratches on the clear-coat since it doesn't have one. I suppose it's not too bad for a $35 paint job.

Its not like there is a set wrong way to paint a car. Some people just care more about other aspects of their car, and would rather sport a rattle can job if it means they can spend the money that they saved elsewhere in the car.

I think that it looks great considering how much the supplies cost to paint it. And even if he does decide to get a "real" paint job later down the road, the sunk cost spent on the current paint job is so minimal that its more than worth it to rock this over primer paint, even considering the extra prep required to repaint it next time.

I can agree on this.

Hrmm, sounds interesting. I'm not too knowledgeable on what type of Home Depot paint one would use for a DIY paint job. Care to elaborate? Pics of the BMW?

You dont remember my 2002 from about 4-5 years ago? Used to be green and the we painted it in the garage with a 26 gallon compressor, old gravity feed gun and exterior enamel that is thinned acetone and japan drier. No clear just thick ass bright blue paint.








Can't blame kids for not remembering as they might have not been driving then. But as you will notice there is no haze and no bullshit and it still cost 80 bucks. But you know what fuck it and spray paint it because that's good enough for you but for people that like cars to shine without being wet then I'd suggest a different option.

i agree , plus go ahead and try to put good paint over this krylon and see what happens , its cant be buffed, and it will cost you 150 bux in sand paper to have it removed , not including 1 weeks worth of labor from a skilled tech , i just dont see where people think this is a good idea ... imo ... p.s. im a certified auto body tech and have 8 years of exp.. ( my motto - if you dont have time to do it right the first time when will you find time to redo it?)
