all ppg, high build primer, sealant, base, clear, hardeners, reducers.

i got a DA, some sand paper, sanding blocks with rolls of sand paper, etc.

the guy told me about this additive you put onto the plastic pieces so that the paint won't crack once you flex these pieces, so i got that.

i did the $50 paint job, it sucks, now i'm redoing it. spent $14xx.xx on all the supplies in that pic. i want it to be perfect.

here's the car:

i'm starting tonight i have free until next thursday, we'll see how far i get, i'll document everything along the way.

let me know what you guys think

lol spot on. good choice in supplies. the ppg paint is my favorite all around. if you don't have alot of body work 1 week should be plenty of time oh and some times beer helps the paint gun flow in your hand a little just a little word for wisdom when trying to get things perfect. and don't be afraid to sand everything down and start over.

yeah im not afraid. i'm prepping it in my garage, i'm going to tow it to my brother in laws body shop to lay down the paint.

read the bottom of that last page, my door jams have for whatever reason turned an off white color, im not sure what did it, but they are a yellowish hue now...

the paint came out great for the exterior but once i open the door, it's like, wtfs?

I've never seen a good $50 paint job in person. Any car can look good in pictures on the internet.

im not for 50 dollar painjobs either. honsetly how long could they really last? i mean common just get it done right. like this guy.

nothing wrong with the $50 paint job, mine came out great except in the covered areas where it turned yellow for whatever reason... oh well

here's what i got done today, the whole exterior is pretty much sanded down, 80grit (i was using 220grit but that wasn't working too good...

i then followed everything up with 180grit.

tomorrow i'm going to take the doors off, block everything down, make sure everything is straight then i'll start on the interior...

i'm waiting for my paint guns that i ordered on Monday, i paid for 2 day shipping, it's now 4 days later, i still don't have them

i might go out and buy new guns and return the ones that should be coming soon if it gets to that point.

i am blocking the whole car down, its too hard to try and get all the white paint off - it'd take me days...

let me know what you guys think. i'm going to try and locate someone to come out tomorrow and remove all the windows, windshield will get replaced, quarter panel windows will be installed again once i get to that point.

thanks, i'll go to the store where i bought the old paint and see if it is oil or not, if so, i'll take it all down.

1400 bucks on paint ish thats pretty crazy, I need to show you my paint job on my buddys talon, 208 bucks Martin Senior paint FTW

GOOD LUCK MAN. cant wait to see the finished product and color choice.

thanks, i double checked and the old paint wasn't oil based, so i'm good there...

cause his doorjambs turned yellow so he's doing it over w/ real auto paint/clear
