I am interested in looking at these pictures

 

any pictureS??

 

pics in first post.

 

damn, looks good! i think i'm actually gonna try with a real paint sprayer though, i have 2 air compressors at home, a 4ga portable one and a 20ga one i hope mine turns out as good as yours did....most of the work is in the prep anyhow

 

looks like you did a real nice job. a recomendationthough fill up a 5 gallon bucket with hot water and put your spray cans in it. This will raise the pressure inside the can and create a finer mist when sprayed and you wont get the stripes like you see on the hood pics. I did this kind of job before and ended up re doing it using the hot water technique. it turned out 10 times better.

 

thanks next time ill be painting a large area i will def try this:thumbsup

 

hey just wondering how long will this paint job last? i was reading on other forums and stuff and they said like once you wash it it'll start coming off?

 

looks like a pretty good job , but even tho the paint isnt dry yet , it still looks like when it does dry your going to have to give it another coat... and with some primer you would have gotten a darker coat

 

yea, but my bro isnt too worried about it. within the next month he has over fenders coming (painting again) and wheels. then in the next year he's getting a kit, carbon hood, trunk, and gonna get a real paintjob. this is temporary, hes getting 2 new doors and needs to replace the lower tailight panel so it just sorta a temp paint job to make everything one color.

 

i did the 99 cent spray cans on my car and since there no sun protection in that kind of paint it would fade to gray. i had to paint the car once a year. i have now used duplacolor on my hood ( took 2 cans) looks alot better. i dont think 8 cans will do it i use more like 10-12 cans of the cheap shit. its seams like the dupla color dont go as far.

 

well we used 8 cans and it came out pretty good, i guess if you wanted to do more or heavier coats you'd need like 12..but we're happy at how it came out.

 

what would happen if you put a couple coats of clear over? any protection? shine?

 

nice

might be with a try

 

What if you put a cheap clearcoat over it?

 

Cheap clearcoat would give it a bit of a shine and help protect it.

 

clear will give you a clear coat. and it will help kep the fade off. it will also make it alot easier to clean and wash, but it will not make it more reflective like a real paint job.
looks like a good rattle can job thou, not to many stripes.

I am in the process of doing the rustoeum/tremclad $50 paint job. its better than rattle can, but not as good as maaco. Its coming out pretty nice though.

 

you know a german fat cap would take care of those lines
damn tagers
it cost 9c ata taging store it sprays a 6.5in round spto

 

yeah, if you buy some "soft balls" or "fat caps", your paint job will come out alot smoother and you should get no drips or lines.

 

good write up man... i am tempted now...

 

what is a fatcap or a softball?

 

the Cap(button you push to make the paint come out), the hole is a different shape or size so the paint comes out differently. and i thought about that but i wasnt sure where i could get some around me.

 

nice.

gona do that tomorrow.

 

looks good man, congratulations

 

primer looks nice, post pics when you lay down the paint

 

flat black FTW

like when u wash does paint come offf ????

 

i'll see if i can get some pics tommarow, car has not been washed yet BUT has been through many HEAVY rains as well as other normal ones.
