The Wagacy of Doom is turning blue! ($100 paint job)

The Wagacy of Doom is turning blue! ($100 paint job) Update! 9/16

well as i have said to some, i was guna give the "50 dollar paint job" a shot with my wagon. i went with interlux brightside topside paint in saphire blue. Sprayed on with a HVLP gun and a little 2hp compressor. been doing a lot of body work to get to the painting stage, but the blue is starting the get sprayed on now. its lookin pretty kick ass, so i cant wait to get it finished, also just put my first coat on my bumper and drivers fender yesterday but no pics. im still yet to sand or polish anything yet, but really happy with the amount of orange peel in most places already. full progress can be seen in my album here..

i'll continue to update the farther along i get.

 

wow that looks really good!, what color is that? looks like ford engine blue

 

looks like nagaro blue to me

 

^ the color name is in my second sentence guys....

 

truth, he said it already... but it does look like Negaro Blue for sure

 

That looks great, it's going to be a unique looking wagon when it's done. The rust repair looks like a lot of work. You might only have $100 of material, but that a lot more than $100 worth of labor going into that job.

 

^ yea i dont like to think about the time iv spent on body work, i still got plenty left to do...

 

looks like sapphire blue


looks good... did a few jobs like that back in australia in a garage and a electric sprayer... even with the orange peel, you can always sand or spray some straight thinner over it and let it settle and evaporate.... great work

 

sorry i dont like to read things over 2 lines long so i kinda just ignored it

 

i said oooooohohohohohohoooooooooooo pics

 

I sprayed my old 300whp talon with a big compressor. Se7enrex and I busted it out in several hours, and it looked GREAT. We did a flat black with a big 5 horse compressor with a dryer (make SURE it has a dryer). The paint held very strong, and I sold it with the paint in the same great condition.

My advice is to buy some good clear coat and hit it with that afterwards. You wont have a hard time doing a nice job as long as you go back and wetsand any areas that dont come out well. Being its a rust repair (and its MN) I would DEFINATELY make sure I got a protective coating down over my base paint.

You should talk to AngusRacer. He went to school for autobody and maybe he's got some pointers or could even help you out with laying down clear.

 

^ you dont clear single stange paint, or atleast its not nessicary.... all rust spots were hit with rust reformer and and a coat of rustuolem before fiberglassing.

 

WAIT you put fiberglass over the rust???? am i missing something?

 

Earl Scheib'n it FTW.

 

after i cut away all destroyed metal, remaining specks of surface rust were covered the way i described. if u look at my other pictures u will see the gaping holes i cut out of my car...

 

Right, but why would you put fiberglass on it? i would have welded new metal in there THEN grinded, then bondoed

 

^ cause its a winter beater, that takes even more time, i dont own a welder and cant weld for beans. and the last thing im guna do is pay somebody to do it. defeats the point of a 100 dollar paint job....

 

noted

 

But please note i didnt use some cheap bondo crap, i bought professonal quality mud from a auto body store. Deride hooked me up (did autobody for like 7 years)

 

looks good!!

 

so is only the front turning blue for now?

 

i just wanted to start with the movable panels. next im guna do the roof, then after i fix the rest of the door dings im guna paint the rest of the body.

 

Bah, just drive up to the Osseo Maaco and wait in the parking lot for Bruce (the owner) to back out of a bay and hit you with another customers car.

 

Update! fenders, bumper, and roof are all painted. hood is wetsanded but only partially buffed, but it looks great. project is taking forever now since i only get to work on it during the afternoon on weekends (weather permiting), but im sure hoping to finish before snow fall haha.

 

Looking good! now hurry up

 

Looks good. Who owns the Z?

 

looks very good. kinda looks like it has buck teeth with the lights right there.

 

I just remembered that that thing is a BK body code. You HAVE to get a "BK Lounge" banner on the back window, and Wagacy of Doom on the front. Of, and we are going to have to self tint that thing too.

 

I just sent kyle all of my EXTRA stickers!! w00t.



Its looking good.

 

tits!!!! love it

 

Awesome, now you are going to be very easy to spot.

 

its my dads. 03 6MT performance model, still under 20k on it.

 

Everything is blue that needs to be blue!!!!! bad news is my camera batteries died. so no pix, but its still not put together anyway. ill have pics after assembly in 2 weeks, when i go home again and pull it out for the winter.

 

w00t. ready for ice races!

 

^ yea now i just need to get crackin on my franken 2.5 swap...

and make my 5 spokes gold and toss the revo 1s on em.. w00t

 

sweet....I was just wondering if you were going to finish it in time for winter.....or if you were trying to acquire the nickname "half-n-half"

 

it's about damn time. Jk. Awesome, can't wait to see it.

 

if you need help with paint / advice... i'll be more then happy to help... *hint *hint

orange peel = the suck

 

^ im done besides wetsanding, but thanks anyway.

 

you should paint "Wagacy of Doom" across the side.

 

^ no but im thinking a reverse front banner would be neat hehe

 

"Wegacy of Doom" on the front, and "BK lounge" on the back

 

Can't wait to see it. Now lower it

 

you should wetsand the hood, and let me put an evil clown on it.... lol

we could make it simple and just do it in white and run candy blue coat over it...
MMmmmmm candy blue on wrb = the hot

 

w00t! its done kinda. haha its all blue, hood still needs polishing and so does the drivers side head light, but im lovin it!
