Sil-vert got paint yo

[s13beast]

This weekend me and my friend sam decided to spray my vert because the old paint was terrible. We built a temp. paint booth that cost all of 40$ Held up pretty good and we didnt die, so yay. We got some paint for a really resonable price at a whole sale store or something. Enjoi.

Here she was in her bad flat black paint state.

Strippin dat hoe

her in the booth. Nice and dent free.

After 3rd coat of black was dry.

After 2nd coat of white.

After she was done, clear coated, and assembled. There are a couple small spots that need to be touched up but im VERY pleased with the out come. I also need the black tape-like trim that goes around the bottom because the line is not strait, because new tape will be going on.

One last pic back at home. Cost me 250$ total. I think it turned out nice. Im ordering new wheels in a couple weeks. let me know what you think

Not too bad my friend. What was the total time and what size compressor did you use?

[OMSIN]

looks nice and I like the make shift paint booth

[noobdrftr]

i like it..the two tone is nice

[s13beast]

Not too bad my friend. What was the total time and what size compressor did you use?

well we started at 730 Friday morning built the booth, had the car stripped, bought, paint and supplies and primered it my 8 that night then we went to the drag strip. The next noting all the paint went on and it was done by 5. And it was a massive compressor.

[Black on Gold]

i figured it was a massive compressor. The small ones are useless if your wanting a good turn out.

Looks good though. What wheels are you looking into?

[s13beast]

something cheap to tide me over until my new motor is built and turboed. Like the xxr 513 16x8 with a 0 offset. I can work more since I just graduated so I want to save for some baller wheels. Undecided tho.

looks good man. me and a friend are gettin ready to paint my car soon.

if you do it out side spray water all over the ground around the booth and poor listerine around. Water will stop alot of dust and mouth wash helps majorly with bugs.

[Wc240]

my roomates the paint guy. only paint/body work i do is f##k em up lolwere doin it in a garage that we lined. ive heard about the water but never heard of the mouthwash.

[S14slider09]

damn man....iknew it would come out nice but not that nice. you and sam completely caught me off gaurd with that. one night i see it primered with a chip from the "deer" and then its sexy....now i really want sam to paint my car when i get it

[s13beast]

Yeah dude the hood had a major transformation. Can't even tell any of that crap.

[lonely_coupe]

very nice DIY. If only I had a paint gun/compressor my car could look this nice. oh well, all in due time I suppose.

[fresno240sx]

dam...looks nice...is it with rattle cans or real paint? two tone looks cool.

[Didderson]

Wow man you know how to do a silvia conv. right. I'm a fan of 2 tone silvias, adds to highlight the boxiness body lines which i like.

Yea boiiiiiii SSR wheels. Ballin on a budget for daily driving FTW
