well as some of you know, I decided to breathe life back into the geo by purchasing a new short block, and re ring kit. well, with the fresh engine I figure it wouldnt be a bad idea to fix the body a little and paint it. its a 200.00 car so I was willing to risk painting it by myself. its not completely done but the 1st coat is on and im not dissapointed by any means. :biggrin: and what did I use for paint? it was not a spray can or a gun.... ^ + a paint Roller what do you think?
Looks pretty good so far. My freind and I are in the process of painting his 77' chevy with black rustoleum. We're going the spray route tho. Thinned out about 60/40 it really lays down pretty smoothly.
w00t for rust-oleum!!!! thats what im going to paint the shemale with it the chevy turns out!:biggrin:
Thats pretty good. The Geo we did up we used spray paint and I think it was around $100 in rattle cans.... but orange is a little more expensive than black iirc.
Well i certainly had no idea that you used a roller until you said it... Very nice... So whats next for project GEO?
http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...fpart=1&v c=1 good info and advice.will be doing this this spring on my brat mmmmm..... dark greeen.
well, it looks OK I mean about as good as I had planned, the hood def needs to be replaced via upull. I tried fixing the rust on it, and did but there are about 45000 little road chips in the paint that would require me to put a layer of mud on the entire hood. I think going to upull and getting a 30 dollar hood wouldnt be a bad idea. now as far as plans: Get some honda 15''s Good tires. AUTOCROSS also, this will be my DD (50 miles round trip for work 50mpg FTW) that is, until I get the legacy up and running. but thats top secret....
looks good tim! i still wana spend a little more time on the wagacy but im pretty happy with how mine came out as well.
I was peen inches from getting it, and since it was in superior or something I wanted more pics, needless to say she neglected to tell me the car was sideswiped and in a front end crash (minor) anyways, I will just keep it classy in the leggy for now
Should bring the Metro to a rallyx. They do surprisingly well with the short wheelbase and light weight.
I would love to! I am going to try to do a few autox events, and would love to try rallyx I love my geo........
looks good man. You get that paint at Mound True Value? If so, and you're getting more ****, let bruce and patti know I say hi. Or just say 'what up' to TJ for me, and tell him Jack still thinks he can run that store better than bruce. ha.
