Please tell me that your NOT going to paint your car with spary paint

Is your existing paint pristine?
If not then go right ahead.

As long as you are painting with a satin or flat finish it should be ok. If you do gloss, it has to be perfect or it will look bad.

want to try those 'marbl' or 'concrete' textured finishes?

so you are spraypainting your car with a latex paint? once you are done, do you plan to do a wet sand complex and then buff?

flat black looks badass....if painted properly.

im doing the same thing, iv got my front off and both front guards, and am in the process of sanding them back, and getting them smooth for primer.

im going for the glos white (i know, hard to do, but i have all the equipment)
for the clear cote, it will be red speckled and tinted, so wite with red tint.
taking photos tonight of work in progress... but where can i host them?

Flat paint jobs and spray paint jobs all look like crap why would you even do that to a car? It is beyond me maybe it is a rice thing but I dunno.

pete? · Oct 24th, 2004, 06:10 PM

its not rice at all! rice would be doin the hole car in "mirage" lol but i have allways said if i ever buy a car that has fataly hazed paint or anything else id whip out the rattle can and go picaso all over its ass

but remember rattle cans dont paint all that well on big surfaces because each strock wont quite blend in with the last so if you have to try looking so if needed id say look for cans where the nozzle is blue and you have a flat spray instead of a cone saped spray, but stick with krylon its the best

also if you decide against flat dot get above the shine fo satin because the glossyer you get the easyer it will be to see the imperfectons of your sanding/priming/painting job

i take it you are getting this from scc? "flat blck is the new bling bling"

or, do what im doing, and use that nice shiny air compressor, and spray gun attachments, with nice wholesale priced paint. beats using spraycans!!

that subaru sti was much more of a detailed job then im going to do,

THey took out a lot!

im useing 120 sand paper, i will not remove all the paints color from the area im working on

so after sanding i will end up with a graypaint/body colored panel .. i will use the paint with "lots of little coats", as the magg sug.

after spraying i m suing a tack cloth to wipe away the spit mas chunks....

also each can of paint i will use.(maybe less then 20) has to be put on hot water as to make the nozzel less likely to smug up!

no gloss, or any thing like that will be needed, can any one pull up a pic of that 15 hr paint job to the sti

I will start with the trunk, a small level area i can try my paint skills!!

Radioaktiv · Oct 25th, 2004, 07:23 AM

definitely need some pics when you start

you might want to get some finer paper than 120 grit thats pretty rough i think. i would probly go with something like 200 or a little higher

300+ for wet sanding

I'm painting my datsun 210 rustoleum 'black night' or whatever it's sparkly black, and it looks pretty good.

I stripped each panel to bare metal, fixed dents, primered ( on the lower rust prone parts, cold galvenizing spray, then primer, then rubber undercoat, then color coat. ) wet sanded smooth then sprayed the color and wet sanded more.

I've spent way more $$ than a cheap paint shop job, but I know the dents are fixed properly and the rust prone areas treated.

If someone really wants to do it, let em.

the roof, hood, and trunk areas are the hardest in my experience. Having an area without wind probably helps too.
