paint?

[WayFast84]

what should i ask for when I go to the paint shop for paint? Im doing this at home in my driveway. I have a gravity fed gun, and am not looking for the best job, but the best i can make it.

Ya thats decent cheapo paint, i used it to paint my gocart came out pretty good. I dont know how their clear is though, i was to cheap to use it on the gocart.

pics? its 20 bucks so 60 for the paint, clear and primer, Id be doing it in black.. But I want to do it silver so when I'm rich i can paint my car silver and have a matching engine bay?

what color did you use?

[BonzoHansen]

You're better off with black. That silver won't match what you paint your car unless you paint the whole car that color. The black would be better then mismatched silver.

[camaro2you]

I used that blue color.

Definately want to see the results when you are done Wayfast. Might be a good answer for my nearly nonexistant budget.

Do you have a high res camera? Black is such a pain in the *** to get right.

I tried rattle coat, It looked ok, But I wanted a little better results, Im going to order the duplicolor paint system with black and hope it looks better.

Why did you order it....advance auto has it in stock.....

[WayFast84]

[WayFast84]

just picked up that paint it was 62 bucks total, Im hoping Ill have the primer sprayed tonight. Lots of masking to do!

[Untamed]

Matt you're just doing the engine bay for now right? Any body panels you can practice on afterward to see what the paint looks like on the outside?

[WayFast84]

ill do have of a fender I have, If I have enough extra maybe ill do the whole thing, the problem is it needs to be buffed out, and I wont have the machine to do that..
