$50 paint job write up

[supradan22]

Well I was saving up for a real paint job but I thought hey might as well give this a shot If I didn't like how it came out I would just sand it again and it would be back to primer black.

Plus I thought I would put these cheap paint threads to rest.

Now I'm off to wet sand more pics soon........

cant wait to see the finished product, thats what im doing with mine as well rattlecan FTW

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

from what it looks like you laid down the coats pretty evenly. Im looking forward to this!

 

[mattjk]

Dang, can you please do the wheels next?

We really need clearer pictures. Do you have a tripod?

 

[Inygknok]

What I do when I don't have a tripod or something is that i just hold myself together tight. I crunch my arms against my torso to eliminate most of the shaking, specially the initial movement when I press the button to take the picture. Kinda like forcing myself to remain stiff.

 

[ViR2]

we need cleaner pictures, but from wha I can tell, it looks realy great!

 

[Fletch124]

I was waiting for a Supra owner to try this. Only downside to this is i hear that the paint is really touch and difficult to sand.

 

[supradan22]

Well all single stage paint is difficult to sand but heres the picture for today

wet sanded it with 600 then 2 more coats tomorrow hopefully will be the last I have to go trough with this process of roller painting for a while.

Plans for tomorrow

Wet sand with 800

Final 2 coats

Hopefully it will all be done by Tuesday, final product will have photos by a friend of mine who's a photographer. So hi res for everyone.

Pshh I love my blue rims unless you wanna give me yours.

I think my rims may go gold haven't decided

 

[MassSupra89]

How did you get into the small areas with the roller?

 

[SupraJDS]

he used "a little foam brush"

 

[theKnifeArtist]

i shall do this aswell, just as soon as i finish taking care of the crappy moldings, warped sideskits plastic corners, warped nose, and rust

 

[mattgo]

hey, this is cool, I think I might do this. Where'd you get the paint?

 

[supradan22]

You can get the paint and supply's at Lowe's and Home depot, for the wet sand paper I went to Autozone.

 

[mattgo]

cool thanks, looking forward to the updates on the paint job of your car.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

And your doing Black, Hardest color to gide mistakes. Good goin meng

 

[mattgo]

could you color most of the engine bay by doing this, without actually taking the engine out?

 

[tomjan87]

thats not a bad idea for the engine bay is it. you in theory could do it with the little foam brush and everything would be good.

 

[supra90turbo]

But everything would not be good, as it would be extremely hard to wetsand everything in the engine bay to make it lay flat, and give an acceptable shine. It would more likely than not come out all weird looking and you'd probably wish you never did it.
