Painted the car today.

So like the topic says i painted the car today it came out really nice, i am very happy of the results.
I originally wanted a black mate finish tried it on a front bumper cover and i made a big mistake. Flat black not for our cars

looks pretty sharp, would love to see it in the sun

so you painted that yourself? how much in materials like the tarp n such?

i would love to do it myself if it would look half good

nice job! i recently painted my car too, turned out great, like they said, i also wanna see pics in the sun

More pics next weekend since i have some other small parts to paint too, like head light covers, gas door and such.

Plastic foil is like 10$ at lowes, a really big roll in paint dept.
and the rest is sand paper, paint, primer, clear, hardner, reducer paint gun, maskin tape, stolen sales paper from a local shopping market

I will get some pics in the sun soon

Satin Black is a better choice if you want it to still be pretty but not glossy.

High gloss black FTW, but to each their own. Good job from what I can tell so far.

looks good, how did you paint it? is it spray paint?

Are you going to clear coat??

 

[TrInisTalLion]

Wow, nice job! I want to paint mine matte gray, and I hope it comes out ok when i do!

Looks awesome, i disagree about flat black, i think it looks awesome if done right.

i really like it how much would you say it cost you total? and how much paint did you use.

Did you use a sprayer and do it yourself?

The car was clear coated.

I would say about $500 in total to make the spray booth the paint sand paper the whole 9 yards
I don't really like how it turned out so i already have the car scuffed again with a 600 grit, and its waiting to be resprayed again in spring.
