[Wheel Show! Post your pics of you wheels]

@vilian4life Where did you get your leds? I have been looking for something like that for an idea I have. Goo looking z.

 

 

They are out of an Audi. I think it was the S5. It ws a nightmare to get both the running lights (clear) and the turn signals (amber) to work correctly. I am pleased with how they came out though.

[how did you guys paint your car?]

I agree with just about everything MusPuppis said.I just got done painting my Z in my garage and it is a show paint job.(I'm not trying to brag )I have painted countless cars, and I only do cool cars.All have been shot in my garage.I don't have the motivation to paint a car that will get lost in a parking lot.The only thing I would argue with is what grit you use for final sanding.(400 grit is what he recommended)That grit is a good guidline and will usually work, but you should always look at what the paint manufacturer recommends.

[how did you guys paint your car?]

Remove everything you possibly can from your garage(that isn't getting painted).Hose down your ceiling,walls and floor(I usually do this a couple of times)Keep your floors wet while painting(This is huge!)Have a door opened a crack so some of the overspray in the air will have a place to escape.Don't use any heaters or fans where there will be heavy fumes(unless you like explosions)Always hit whatever it is you are going to paint with a blow gun and tac rag at the same time(Don't use cheap tac rags)Do this right before you are going to spray.And the giggest thing is remain calm and if something does go wrong, think about the best solution before you dive in to fix it.

For example..a run in the first coat or two of clear(or surfacer) ..wipe it off with gloves and just feather it out with your fingers.As long as it's getting more coats it will be much easier to cut out than a big run.I know it sounds crazy and it scared me the first time I saw it, but it is so much easier to fix.

Also, make sure your compressor is up to the task and that you have an excellent water filtration setup.The last thing you want to see is countless hours of prep work go down the drain when fish eyes start popping up from moisture in the line.Always run a dessicant dispossible filter at your gun.Don't use the cheap paper filters.You will have no idea when they need to be replaced until it is TOO LATE. The dessicants change color when they are used up.GOOD LUCK and remember, the best way to learn is to just do it.

I have been doing custom paint jobs for several years now and the biggest part of a good paint job is PREP, PREP,PREP! Take your time with the prep work and you will not be dissapointed in the end. If you have any specific questions regarding any kind of paint or body work ..please feel free to ask.I just got done painting my Z in a garage.As long as you prep the garage before painting, you will have awesome results.
