Gunm Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 My car's paint is looking pretty fucked up these days. it has some pretty high mileage and so i figured what the hell could be the harm in re-painting it myself? yes, i know it's not going to look dope but i'd rather have a plain grey primer coat thatn the way it looks now(sorry, don't want to give away too many details) Anyone care to reccomend some decent spray apint or primer i can use to get my car looking all Road Warrior n shit rather than the peely sunwashed boat it resembles now? No, i am not going to have someone piece on it. no, i am not going to use montana to paint it. reccomendations, hints, tips, suggestions appreciated....sarcasm is not but fuck, i think that's a given around these parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaps Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 looking into getting an air compressor and airgun may be a better solution. both can be bought for around $150 and the primer + paint, if mixed with the right thiners appropriately will cost just the same as spray paint. also, it will give a much better overall look that spray paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 i spent a few months with my old talon. i had to do all the bodywork myself...bondo, primer, etc. not fun at all. go to autozone adn look at the primer. most of it is the same regardless of pricing. i did find some shit that sprayed a darker grey than a can i had when i started, so be sure you start with one kind and stay with it.

Dick Quickwood Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 you're going to need amps my mom spray painted her car where the paint is peeling off, it looks better from a distance, but equally shitty close up. i don't know if the paint is just going to continue peeling around the edged of the repainted spots or what.

Guest krie Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 My mate did it to two of his cars, he plans on doing it to his third real soon. His brother painted cars for a living, so he used his gear in his back yard and damn did they turn out shit. I mean, it was better than what the original paint was, but wasnt too spectacular.

WhiteOx Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Given that your resigned to it looking mediocre at best, I don't see what you want to know. I mean just spray it with paint - it can't be that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Every time I see a flat black car, some gearhead looking herb is always driving it. Just the facts of life, man. Do it up with some super wicked awesome color, like berry pink or apple green. Or leather brown. That would be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post Hahaha, takes me back... Many years ago this girl gave us her car keys and told us her asshole dad had taken the battery out of her car so if we wanted it we could go grab it... SO... we did. We started about 7am, went out shroom hunting and were successful. We made some of that electric kool-aid and while we were waiting for it to kick in we dug around the garage until we found a battery with a charge. We took it over there (about an hour away) and yoinked that bitch by 9am. It was an 86 Honda Civic, and at the time was only a couple years old. Still looked very fresh when we rolled away from the curb. By 10:30am we'd spray painted anarchy symbols and punk band names all over it and cut off the roof with a demo saw. By 11:30am we'd driven it another 50 miles xxxx West I meant, we went west and run out of gas. Fortunately we had friends following us so we got our battery back and hopped in their ride. Left it sitting on the side of the highway and had a great day at the Dali museum. It was gone by the time we rolled back home. Heck of a way to spend a day!

Dick Quickwood Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 nice Lens, you may want to consider something when painting you car: things that make it unique. whatever paint damage is has, makes it unique too. think "it was a white toyota" versus "it was a lime green toyota with pink flames on the hood" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teen_014.jpg Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 i was once the proud owner of an '85 nissan micra, which i painted mate olive green with a rollie and a brush. we also added a huge spoiler, and about 300 rivets for the armyvehicle-look. it was beautiful. right now i have a 99' opel astra, it's going to a paint shop soon.. counting on the pros this time..
