Edited to remove cell phone pics. Also front bumper still needs buffed.

**OldSchool87** · 04-26-2010, 12:01 AM

Can you tape over the paint? my body is solid to the roof and i want to do a black roof with a different color bottom so if i tape the bottom half off after painting it is going to peel the paint off with the tape?

I can put tape on mine without it peeling off. If you do the prep work before you paint it, you shouldn't have a problem.

yeh, i did it before i got my silvia front, and they came with the body line =/

wow 4 gallons of paint , what are you planing on spraying an 18 wheeler? lmao ... 4 quarts tops

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.

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?)

**rufus5794** · 08-02-2010, 10:33 PM

Interesting...

I have one of those primered cars. lol.
But idt id want to do this.

**daswagger** · 08-09-2010, 01:56 AM

That shit looks damn good to be rattle can. Nice work

**psycho_freke** · 08-16-2010, 02:20 PM

Ever think of trying Duplicolor paint + their spray on clearcoat? I think that's what I saw in the mag that was referenced a few pages back.

**dirtragz** · 08-16-2010, 10:42 PM

Dirtragz knows! I've taken wheels in to paint that were done in Krylon\Rustoleum...first time I sanded the wheels down and started to spray primer. Must have been some residue left. Wrinkle city...had to re-strip them with aircraft paint stripper. Never again will I work on someones stuff that was painted in Krylon...What would have been a few hours work turned into a full day.

**WBT_tuner** · 08-19-2010, 05:33 PM

turned out pretty good for spray paint i always thought about how sumthing like that would turn out compared to goin to maaco and whatnot and its looks decent

What about different spray paints that are made for wheels? I honestly would've never thought to use Krylon on my car in any way.

Stick with duplicolor if you have to use spray

It's the only spray paint I've had the least amount of headaches with when spraying automotive paint over. I usually use Dupont / SEM products too so who knows maybe someone with PPG could spray over Krylon/Rustoleum without problems. I am unsure as to what it is in those paints that causes a chemical reaction and wrinkle in the finish.

**NOCLUE** · 08-29-2010, 01:14 AM

alot better

**DomHenry** · 09-01-2010, 08:30 AM

yea it looks pretty good, a few coats of clear wouldnt hurt

**timarali** · 10-01-2010, 08:13 AM

**drocca** · 10-04-2010, 06:33 PM
