decided to paint famous?
paint and do body work.. I need to see, if I could do the late reg so I start school in Jan at LT.Originally Posted by VQ35 Star
i think body work is more fun but I havent really gotten too deep into painting
Good luck man, and remember do NOT buy any paint guns from the teacher (lestor) save your money for better guns like some Satas.
But if you're looking to buy some guns now I got some guns I dont use anymore that could be used for the lifetime that you paint. I just can't use the sizes of the paint guns bc i switched to higher grade paints and they require smaller tip sizes.
dang Im not usually on here when you guys start posting, its early. 7,500 before I go to sleep, here I come
So I see you reached your 7k quota.
thanks man your a great help, hopefully Ill be getting into doing paint before I start school. Im going to start on my supra and see where that goes, since she anit going anywhere soon lol sigh FML.
naw man dont start off painting a car, let alone a supra.
Try painting little things. go to the junk yard and pick up some junk parts like doors/bumpers and practice on those.
My buddy has a 67 truck that he will let me pratice on.. Btw Im for one starting with top of the line things but what would you recommend? price range IDK.
hoods are a good place to start also, try laying them flat and then try painting some with them standing up
DO NOT TRY TO LEARN TO PAINT ON A SUPRA!
eh lol I never learn to start off slow in anything.. my 1st motorcycle to learn was on a gixer 1000 and lyea story of my life lol but I see what your saying.
hahahah, yes please dont fuck up the supra.
and yes start out on a flat surface and then move onto something that is standing up right bc you WILL run it LOL
But you would rather get runs than dry spray. (not enough clear making it look like there is texture and dry) You can wet sand and buff the run off.
starting off with what? paint guns?
I would have to say either SATA spray guns or Iwata.
Sata if your starting off bc they virtually spray perfect out of the box. Iwata if you know what your doing and know how to set up a gun.
Sata will get shit done dont get me wrong with a professional look
Iwatas are more for the painter that wants a BETTER look but knows what hes actually doing and knows what kind of finish he wants.
Ok cool Ill be looking into this, and hopefully I should be able to track my progress.
Oh BTW i'm selling my Iwatas bc I had to go down a couple sizes.
I have an Iwata LPH400 HVLP 1.4 and also an IWATA LP400 conventional 1.4
your speaking a different language to me man lol...
you can go to a body shop and get free stuff to try and paint on im sure, they keep bins with junk hoods and shit in them.
yea we have junk bumpers that we had to replace just sitting around, lol.
but if the bumpers are salvageable the Keystone guy buys them off of us and has the company repair them to sell as Re-manufactured OEM parts LOL
the few body shop I know of have people already claiming to these "junk" things. They have them in bins that people come and pick up.
I know, Ive worked in several body shops. If you told them what you wanted them for they would prolly let you take a fender or two and maybe a hood or something
this is true man, they just sit around taking up space until the scrap metal guy comes around and HE makes money off of them. we usually have a scrap metal guy come every friday to take them.
lol my bad
I have 2 top of the line IWATA spray guns.
one for base coat (HVLP) and one for clear coats (conventional)
better? lol
Kool I feel like that I got rosea stone just now lol I know things that I didnt know before.
my dad used to own a shop in buford, we were BALLIN! Those were the days
which shop?i know everyone and everything up there.. now those were the days.
i was only 16 so it was before your time but it was called hughes paint and body, now its taylors collision i think. Its next to pikes nursury next door to where bill heard used to be. He owned it for about 5 years but worked there about ten.
