lots and lots of work.... sanding that pig SUCKED but hopefully it works out in the end, i'm taking my time, trying to do things right and hopefully it will look better then it did
josh... i gots cold beer too... not a lot, some might get punished tonight though... but feel free to swing by black max - gracias
i really got sick of the clear and the surface rust i had going... the paint job is by no means going to be perfect i'm sure, but it'll definitely be better then what was there
What kind of guns do you have there? I can't see the name. As you probably know, the more clear you lay down, the better. Wet sand and show-shine that biotch!
devilibiss a present from the wife about 4 or 5 years ago.... finally got a garage to put it to use i did notice on the hood i cut a lil deep on the body lines with the sand paper unfortunately so theres some scratches that i can see.... but i still gotta say its looking alot better then the old...
ohhh yea i forgot to mention i layed down the first color on the hood. trunk, and roof tonight :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
thanks no experience other then messing with a air brush and rattle cans... always wanted to try it and for awhile thought about going to school for auto body.... wife got me the set of guns for a present cuz i wanted em but never had a chance or place to use... and the shape of the paint on my car gave me all the reason to use it as a canvas for a test run... if it didn't turn out, whatever its my car no huge deal, and if it turns out half ass, its still gonna be 10 times better then what it was.... ask anyone that saw it, the paint looked like butt
updates done last night lighter then i was hoping but still not bad.... i can't complain to much, i got a awesome deal on it blue going on tomorrow after work
well between beers and visiting with lee and josh.... got the silver wet sanded and last coats on tonight.... no more strips left and in a couple hours i'll switch and mask the silver off to spray the blue either tonight but more likely tomorrow.....
well here is the finished product... i haven't gotten it all pieced back together, but when i do i'll take it out and get some good shots probably friday on my next day off... i am really happy though how it turned out for my first go round
Some spots look dull, may be the camera, not sure. But the bumper and some of the fender spots look like they didn't get enough clear.
gracias.... as for charging... i'm still new with the whole deal, so probably won't be doing anything for side jobs... however i might be up fro doing small side projects like skirts or scoops for corona....
thanks everyone again that posted positive feedback... i appreciate it.... one question though i haven't decided if it would be over doing it if i painted the scoop, vents, and spoiler blue.... i think it might so i'm leaning towards the gray but dunno..... what do you think????
last people i hung out with was you - del sol josh - civic philepe - civic aric - integra so yes i was with the honda crew :biggrin:
