for $30?? I guess you can't go wrong. Looks good from the pics

by **funigui** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:19 pm

looks good in person too. I bought rustoleum white and put it in my spray gun and went to town. needs a wet sanding and a nice wax, but it looks much better if u ask me 2 tone is ftl

by **duffman1278** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:27 pm

i vote closer pics! and yeah, it looks like he did the same thing i did, which is take the stock piggy sigs and put em in the chuki front end.

when i realized my $40 fiberglass front end was chuki, i said "oh well" and made my piggy sigs work anyway. lol.

by **keith0486** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 7:09 am

i think he just dont got the blinkers in at all and those look like CDRL to not blinker.

by **dickie** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 7:15 am

^ wrong. they are not cdrl's. they dont fit in the sockets correctly.

Nice work!!!
Looks good to me. I have done some nice paint jobs even with spray bombs but you have to take your time and make sure all the prep work is done right,(sanding,bodywork etc), laying on paint is easy

by **Drift Motion** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:28 pm

30 for paint for the whole car?

dayum...post some higher quality pics please

by **PhillyDaKid-S13** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:35 pm

that looks pretty good, but NEED better pics to really make a judgement.

so the paint was $30. what about the rest of the equipment (spraygun, compressor...etc) what else was all involved, and how much? inquiring minds wanna know.....

by **ronin123** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:54 pm

Its looks great. great way to save money.

by **funigui** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:33 am

the compressor was 700, but i always use that for everything...so should u if u actually fix ur car...

The gun im using cost me and my bro 300 2 summers ago... but we used that on like 5 cars already...

the hose was 20 from harbor freight

the paint was 14

sandpaper was like 3

the thimmer was 5

the wax and rubbing compund and polishing compound was like 7

30 bux i spent, then sprayed it

by **YARDMAN** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 5:13 am

by **ZOOMIGUEL** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 3:49 pm
