RE: spray paint my car
i dont think he means cans...... does he?....
|
RE: spray paint my car
I think so...
|
RE: spray paint my car
yea i mean spray paint i know couple people who have did it im not worried about how it looks just i wanna know if it will be ok like this into around the first part of the summer when i can have it painted because i need the car on the road
|
RE: spray paint my car
it should be ok just make sure to wet sand the whole car or else the paint wont stick to the car. it takes some time but it will save u a lot of timeand fustration in the future. please let this only be a temporary thing
|
RE: spray paint my car
no no no no no what the hell are you thinking?? dude if you're gonna get it painted in the summer why would you spray on extra coats now? it's just gonna cost extra money for them to sand all that spray paint off later. They'll have to sand ALL of it off or else your new paint will lift. so dont even think about spray painting your car, it's gonna look hideous and cheap and awful, just stick it out till summer
|
RE: spray paint my car
no lie, id roll around with a can sprayed car instead of a pink one. u got any picks of wut it looks like now?
|
RE: spray paint my car
You might be a redneck if....you spray paint your DSM.
|
RE: spray paint my car
im black and id do that... does that make me a sunburnt redneck?
|
RE: spray paint my car
I refuse to waste the energy required to bitch about this....
|
RE: spray paint my car
would u honestly roll around in a hot pink eclipse? until i see picks im asuming its hot pink
|
RE: spray paint my car
Why not just drop $500 at Maaco, and have it painted? Have the trunk / engine wells and door trims done when its warmer..
****, bad situation youre in. |
RE: spray paint my car
Crap ....Id drive it
Dam Puss y's ohhh it pink...i wanna spray paint it what u think u might look fag or something!! Be a Real Man Yo Suck it up tell u get the cash...bro |
RE: spray paint my car
Holy ****... I gotta see pics of this. Before and after, allllright,
|
RE: spray paint my car
i'd much rather drive a decent looking pink car instead of driving a sh!tty looking spray painted car... especially since the spray painted car will cause more work later on when i decide to get it painted and it'll cost more money

RE: spray paint my car

|
RE: spray paint my car
Wow... its like... in stealth mode... or something... more like something.
It may have been better off Pink |
RE: spray paint my car
You should paint it a different color every week.
|
RE: spray paint my car
ORIGINAL: tuckGST You should paint it a different color every week. Not to diss on your work... cuz it looks good, you put effort on it... but then again... theres a reason why theres CAR paint and normal paint... hurry to paint it |
RE: spray paint my car

|
RE: spray paint my car

RE: spray paint my car
OK look, theres still a way to fix it. You used a flat gray right? wipe it down with adry cloth to get rid of any orange peel, unlikely but possible. Pick up a few cans of HIGH GLOSS paint, I'd go grey black or white. Put on 3 coats, thin but thorough. Just one andyou'll see the old grey. Not cool. After you're done, use some clear coat. I'd go 2 thin layers, one heavy one looks bad. After you're done, let it sit a day or two to fully dry. After it's completely dry, wash and wax. So long as its done right, you cant tell the difference. My old buick was a couple different colors, I repainted it this way and you couldnt tell the difference between my work and Maaco.
Ghetto, sure. But at least it looks good. |

Put the letters "a" and "e" in your image code for your signature (image instead of img), and it will show up.

RE: spray paint my car
thank you for comparing spray paint to a maaco paint job... maaco is a joke ofa body shop, and just cause a spray painted car looks like a maaco paintjob doesnt mean anything
|
RE: spray paint my car
Ouch, Im just sayin you can make a cheap job look good until you can get a real paint job, just dont do it half-assed.
|
RE: spray paint my car
wtf is maaco?!
|
RE: spray paint my car
A joke of a body shop
|
RE: spray paint my car
you don't think spray painting a car is half-assed? come on now... if you want your car to look good the save your money and get a real paint job... spray paint doesnt even come close to real paint even as far as protection... just wait until you drive that car in the winter... haha, then i'll have a good laugh
|
RE: spray paint my car
real paint job FTW. Macco is a bad shop, BUT its not all MACCO shops that are bad. Some can do a good job

RE: spray paint my car
I'm just waiting for the rattle can paint to fail to stick to the old clear coat...
Image how great it's going to look with streaked, weathered, orange-peeled, DIY spray paint flaking off to expose the Barbie (tm) pink underneath. The car is going to look like Wesley Snipeswith psoriasis on all the leading edges. Next time use interior paint and a textured wall roller - now THATS fly! If you delivered a pizza to me in THAT you'd be sure to pull a hell of a tip from me as long as you promised to add it to the "paint that car" fund. |
