[Cameron]

[j u ice]

[sommmatt]

When you finished, did you retire to your garage, play your bass guitar, and finish off the night with a beer listening to some Slayer?

[funigui]

lol yes to slayer, and i do play bass lol.... but yea no clear on this job, just ment to clean it up and make the car hlafway decent

[albert_ey]

Damn you did a hell of a job! I don't thing I can do that. Pretty cool.

[Dr.240sx]

looks good i did the same to mine a while back but flat black. looks better than being all multi-colored

[marcrubi89sx]

for 20 or so more dollars.. roughly 50 or 60.. u can get a single stage paint with hardener, and dilluter, and the paint.. do the same thing, and probably get better results.. i did it.. well.. 1/2 way.. i needs another coat. i'll post my pics eventually.

[Uberck]

looks good from the pictures, i guess with 30 bucks you cant go wrong. but one quick q, did you add some flex additive to the paint when you did the bumpers? it'll look good at first then start to peel off after a few months if not

Are you talking about enamel? If so, it takes way to long to dry.Base coat/ clear coat is the best for the do it yourselfer imo, because it is laquer and dries very quick. Plus if you make a mistake, wait 15 mins and sand said mistake, then your back to painting. Plus most colors in base/clear are pretty cheap. Rock on with your back yard car paintin' bada$$ self!!

[funigui]

so far so good on the bumpers, the only part that shows a little bit of flaking is cause i sprayed the little plastic bumper extentions on the car, so between the extention and bumper theres a little. other then that so far so good. i think im gonna wax it today

[liteemup39496]

not bad, and oh wait ur in nj.. my coupe next. its white too. lol

[whiplash willy]

Lets see some closer pics with better lighting. Is there any texture in the paint?

[funigui]

the paint looks flat, which is kinda what i was goin for. this is my brothers truck. it was real auto paint with hardner and the same gun i was using.

















Yes thats My NX1600 back there, it had t-tops but yea... me and my brother can spray a car even better, but i was just goin for the 1 color look and i think i got it done well. that job was like 150ish

[LeMoine]

looks real good for 30 bucks

[oscars13]

[vvaffle]

would you do a similar job for anyone else for a price? and if so, how much?

[JStrateger]

That's a nice paint job, your front bumper is sagging like old tits.

[funigui]

lmao

Thats a nice job for 30 bucks though. Iv painted a few cars outside in my time and i keep telling myself to use someones spray booth when the jobs done.. Wet paint is an everything magnet.

[max240sx]

nice

[funigui]

just an update, still holding up good, will get pics later. The only part that got worse was the rust i was lazy and didnt prep properly, so ill be sandblasting thoes areas and repainting soon.

[wangankid]

[derrick113]

- pop your hood, put some spacers under the 4 10mm bolts (top of bumper, 2 on each side) raises top of bumper up flush to hood pretty nicely. Mine was a little saggy too but i adjusted it the other day.

[BoostFab]

how's the orange peel ? did you wet-sand it after the paint ?

[funigui]

no my paint is flatted out

[cmoody2006]

I wish you lived closer to me i'd give you like 300 to do the $150 paintjob I've got all the bodywork done on mine just need someone to spray it for me
