93ls10.0 · 11-02-2009, 09:15 PM

I figured what the hell the car was only $200 and at the worst I just have to sand it back off

dirty19 · 11-02-2009, 09:26 PM

Not too bad I look forward to seeing more!

My first paint job was with duplicolor, the paint turns out really good and is perfect for people just starting out. I think im gonna use that for my next car cause its easy and the champ white turns out perfect. your hatch looks good keep it up

gorillafart · 11-02-2009, 10:22 PM

you should work on your overlap when painting.. it looks extremely dry... other than that... good job on something you're doing yourself

X2 try about a 50 /50 overlap but it came out real nice

93ls10.0 · 11-03-2009, 07:46 AM

I will work on that thanks for the advice. Car is all cleared now I went overbored on the clear and used two quarts of the prism clear then reg clear. Didn't realize how much metallic was in the prism clear. I will get pics when I get home

93ls10.0 · 11-03-2009, 08:50 PM

Here it is cleared car is dust and the celly cam isn't the greatest but oh well

I even strained the prism twice and still got that much over all it's tw0 quarts prism and 4 quarts reg clear like I said I went a lil over board

LobeSex · 11-03-2009, 08:59 PM

phonedrn8 · 11-03-2009, 09:03 PM

93ls10.0 · 11-03-2009, 09:06 PM

LobeSex · 11-03-2009, 09:15 PM

93ls10.0 · 11-04-2009, 07:51 AM

I wasn't at first either but I'm to lazy to sand it back off so it kinda grew on my looks alot better in person

Supreme+ · 11-04-2009, 01:30 PM

NICE JOB!

Giving me ideas

qb1291 · 11-04-2009, 01:56 PM

Is this just the duplicolor that you get in quarts already premixed ready to use?

93ls10.0 · 11-04-2009, 03:50 PM

yep bought it at schucks just stirr the hell out of it first and your good to go. The color I used is the deep blue it doesn't say it on the can but it has a silver metallic in it so mix it well before you shoot

qb1291 · 11-04-2009, 07:07 PM

can you get some more pics of it all together at a distance?

93ls10.0 · 11-05-2009, 08:28 AM

yeah I can. I just did the dash last night with the dup vinyl paint came out nice looks almost original I will get pics of that also

NEVERSELLMYEG · 11-06-2009, 08:45 PM

Try using a single stage paint kit from eastwood co. next time,I think you will be a lot more satisfied with their products and its very economical for the quality of materials they use in their paint. Its a very user freindly paint like that duplicolor you used. I used that duplicolor paint on an engine bay and wasnt really happy about the final result. Heres a pic of my car with their single stage.

prelude1897 · 11-07-2009, 07:59 AM

not bad for a first time paint job...I'm not really feeling the rainbow flake, but it's your car, so you can do what you want

jcdimvic · 11-07-2009, 12:32 PM

just a tip for you, I cant tell if you did, but wet down the floor in your garage next time, only takes ten minutes to do but it will save the dust from going up and getting on the car.

lil_cook97 · 11-08-2009, 11:29 AM

WOW!!! I've never seen anybody rattle can a whole entire car before!...well actually I have but only in primer though.

I don't think thats rattle can. I think it's Duplicolor's Paint Shop line, which is single stage.

qb1291 · 11-09-2009, 10:04 AM

yea its a single stage shot out of a gun with a base and clear
