PSA: RE: flat black paint jobs

[BuudWeizErr]

hey, all you guys who have multiple colored body panels (see: 'JDM TYTE' SYLVIA CONVERSIONS) and are looking to get your car all one color for cheap. spray paint comes in more than two colors, not just flat black or grey; just because SCC did it doesn't mean you need to as well.

one of my friends car; rattle can SPL:

[skinnay2]

ive always wanted a flat baby blue spraypaint job, but im afraid ill get pulled over all the time..

[skinnay2]

i like the little dog hanging from the tow hook thing

[Dattebayo]

Its not bad.But can you get it done in 15 hours with new coilovers, seats, rollbar and some other goodies?

Probably not... maybe a good matte white would be cool.

[base9se]

Nice color man! Is that Piglet from Winnie the Pooh hanging on the tow hook?

[silkk]

Looks like a bear.. Blue bear? :O

[underground57]

My guess is that it's a Snoopy.

Anyways, speaking of rattle can paint jobs, guess what I'm doing? Yup, spray painting my bumpers. The previous owners treated the car like crap, so the way I see it is even if I botch up the paint job, its still an improvement. And no its not going to be any of that flat black nonsense. I'm keeping it stock Nissan cherry red pearl.

what does PSA mean??????

[drifter_for_life06]

PSA isnt that Public Service Announcment

[Hijacker]

PSA == Public Service Announcement

[MainEvent212]

omg, i'm totally doing something similar w/ my car

[Altiman94]

why all the critisizm on people chunki?

[Dattebayo]

hes just mad cause he's not a moderator...

BOO HOO!

either that or he and SeVa have become lovers and partners in crime...

[Hijacker]

maybe he's upset because SeVa left the continental US for Hawaii and didn't take Ryan with him?

[SeVa-S13]

shiiiiiiiit dawg

(I have nothing humorous to say but it has been wierd getting used to the 6 hour time difference, heh...)

[onosqv]

That's a very nice rattle can job. Does it look that clean 1-3 ft away?

Most spray can jobs I've seen in the area (everything from 240's to Hondas, Mitsubishi's, and a host of older cars) are very blotchy and uneven.

That blue one is super nice, better than Maaco .

[Dattebayo]

thats because the guys who are doing it dont have any science or art to painting their car...they just grab the part and spray it all over like an idiot.

Its funny that Ryan brought it up, but the recent SCC issue explains most of the tricks to doing a good can job, lots of light coats and make sure you warm up the cans and follow the lines of the object you are painting.

Do you have a link to the SCC article w/ it? Everyone keeps telling me to go to the site and I can find the silvia project car and overview, but I can never get/find the article that goes into depth about the can job.

BECUASE I VFEEL LIKE TI AND BECAUSE MY TEASM ONE AND YOU ALL SUCK>>> HAHAHAAH 240sx sucks.

Hey Chunki, you're part of Kyler's team huh.. Just a random thing.. I'm the one he traded exhausts with, he has my Nurspec.

[rico05]

Hence why my car is getting the flat white treatment (with gloss black lip and bolt on flares) very soon

[HashiriyaS14]

That looks fantastic, is there any kind of clear coat or sealant over top of that? It looks super shiny.

Dave (2BN_S13), we need to do THAT to your car, looks like Impact Blue. The only downside that I can see to all this spraycan painting is that we have to re-paint the thing all the time, which sux.

[MainEvent212]

lol i'm definately gonna do a few of those spray can jobs when i go out to drift events... this is gonna be fun

[Dattebayo]

Okay, Davis.

if i can ever get Noel outta the house to take me up to the free garage with the RX-7 club...

On a side note, i hate body putty!

[240marcuSX]

its a panda, theres a team panda drift team or something like that. i guess thats where he got the idea.

[NSR_s30]

The paint job looks good...awesome for rattle can/D.I.Y.

[brisknfade]

Haha, me and my freind hang stuff from the tow hook too.It's Luigi. But he got stolen some time ago. Then, replaced it with a Hello Kitty till it fell of or something. Oh well. We got the idea from seeing one of the Falken 180's at a Drift Event about a year ago. They were hanging a Spongebob. But the paint job looks pretty good. Iv'e seen some 240's around here with real paint jobs that look worse then that.

[timmybgood]

that looks pretty good, i've been tryin to find a flat blue spray paint but with no luck, about to just go black

[cryO]

The article re: the spray job isnt a part of the silvia project. It's a WRX project that they are working on.

[Florida240sx]

My project car is going to be turboed and ready for war. Going to spray paint it camoflauge. After abotu a week write "Can you see me? Then write some funny comments on it then after about 2 more weeks I'll send it to the shop.
