Bartman Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Very good job, especially from your garage. I'm just curious why you would spray more clear after you wet sand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'm betting that camera doesn't do it justice, but even from those it looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adimir Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 thanks guys yea its looking good...well im spraying another 3 coats to give the paint more depth...it should look way deeper then what it is now... i wanna stare at it and wanna feel like i could nose dive into it!!! ive had no trouble so far with dust and bugs...there is a speck here and there but nothing bad at all...

OlderThanMe Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 ooh...nice I like cars that are "owner built" or at least have a majority of the work done by the owner. GOOD JOB! I am a real noob at paint so I am just playing with this roller job and it should last 5 years at least and I will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adimir Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 im n00b at paint too...but i decided to see how i can do...so far its good...im happy, its not perfect there is flaws but im am overwhelmed with what i accomplished. with the roller...it will turn out as shiny and as good if you put on enough to have when you sand it down it will smooth out painting is not the issue..its the prep... thanks!

OlderThanMe Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 yep... I am not worrying about bondo too much...just needs to last 5 years until I can aford a "REAL" paintjob...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 looks good but 7 coats of clear? Overkill man. I usually spray 4 but i spray heavy, I guess if you spray light... at anyrate it looks pretty good for amateur work man. Looks nice and flat not wavy from the pics you posted. Black is notories for showing flaws, nicely done. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantaz Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Man awesome job... Black is horrible at showing flaws so thats even more impressive..and love the hood scoop. i totally missed it in the first round of photos =). double thumbs up for a garage job done well.

AK-Z Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Nice. did you just tape off the window trim? Thats what annoys me, because its usually the first place that starts to ware, or the person that does it doesn't tape it well enought and gets paint on the trim or weather stripping.
