has anyone paint their own car? If so, what method you use?
I have only painted pieces of cars. I am in Maxwell HS in Auto Collision class and we learn how to paint cars and such... really complicated if u want to look nice.
- i recommend - dont do it yourself unless it is a primer or short term paint -
lot of stuff needed for a nice paint job.
if u take it to a shop - i would sand it down myself... problem with most shops they dont properly sand down the vehicle only take off your existing clear coat so it will have a surface to stick too. need to get all paint off really for a nice paint job.
Dont do it yourself. it will look like shit and wont last.Originally Posted by 99Dcivic

yes at all cost please dont do it yourself, and I can vouch for dung (vinhsbody), they do a great job
they painted my car. Looks good.
how much? i just want to get a paint job and sell my car =) ASAP
well if you just wanna do that then you mine as well go to maaco since you're planning to paint just to sell
yeah....or i can spray it real quick for the same price as macco......lol if u sand it all down first...wat car do u have?
Vinh wheres your shop at homey? I have a 1964 impala I'll be ready to paint in a few weeks, just getting all the new molding together...
body is in real good shape, very straight, little/no rust.. what would you say it would cost to strip/paint the car? Its flat black right now and I want to go w/ a metallic black..
humm....usually a change in color run from 800 up to 2000.....depends on wat kinna work u are talking about...but if u want the correct price ....bring it by and let us give u a better estimate....change in color is paint inside and out....a 1964 impala?...nice......damn i have to see that hahaha

I would never use walmart paint I would go to your local parts store and if they have a paint departmant I would either go with house of color or dupont. 2 best car paint around. I would also do a custom mixed paint so you can have your own paint idea.
If you want a good looking paint job, go with some of these guys ^ and get it done. But if you want a learning experience... paint it yourself. I painted mine in my garage. It was my first time painting actually and it didnt turn out too bad. I didnt have much money, so i built my own paint booth and sprayed it with a good gun and compressor i had. PM me if you want all the details and pics.
