zero Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Well, I was doing body work for a while, but school has been cutting down severely on the time i can spend on the car, and winter is coming, so I had to get the car outta primer. Went down to home depot and bought some 4 quarts of satin black rustoleum, thinned it a bit with acetone, and started spraying. I think it came out really well all things considered. I dont mind the somewhat uneven texture, and I plan on putting on a few more coats anyway. Anyway, it was cheap, easy, covers up the bodywork I didnt finish, and I love the look. Also the texture difference shows up alot more in pictures than it does in person. Here are the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanomon Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 That is not bad for a wham-bam-job! Are the uneven spots you were refering to, those that look shineier on the side pannels? If so, then that still ain't too bad. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 you could prolly just wax it and it would look like a professional job-tell all the ricers that u paid 2500 for a new paint job-they wouldn't argue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yea the parts where it looks wet or more glossy are the parts with a slightly different texture, and you really dont notice that except in really awkward light. I would tell people that its a professional job, but i like the look on peoples faces when I tell them I sprayed it myself. Thanks everyone for the comments. SlownRusty, My neighborhood is pretty nice, which, considering it is in what was recently the most dangerous city in the country, is pretty surprizing. My immediate area is quite nice, with trees and garages and just nice houses. Go about 8 blocks east and your in the heart of Newark. Its odd. Anyway thanks for the compliment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austenp405 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Looks sweet. I've been using the "camouflage" flat black that comes in the spray cans and it's had awesome coverage and consistancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
