looks good man...

 

Coming together well, what exhaust does the car have on ? Nice look for the tail pipe.

 

Thanks! I still need to do another coat of paint, but I have to drive the car...I have some new fenders coming and I will have to dismantle the car again and paint in about 5 weeks, I'll know this car intimately by then...labour of love...

Thank you, the exhaust is MagnaFlow.

 

how much is it costing u to paint the whole car this way?

 

Obviously this is Plasti-Dip? Why did you clear, then shoot? If anything use an adhesive promoter or sand if your using real paint. I've been thinking of doing denim black for quite a while, been teaching myself how to paint. Next is my Civic, then will be the Evo

 

No Plasti-Dip. This is John Deere Blitz Black ($15 qt, very inexpensive), almost indiscernible from Harley Davidson Demin Black. (According what I have read.)

I used matte clear on the handles after they had been sanded, primed, and 3 coats of paint. I painted (no clear) the door handle areas prior to the final coat, just to add more paint to the area. I figured these areas will see more abuse. This is my first attempt at painting, the results aren't what I expected, tricky getting a cheap HVLP gun and small compressor to do what I want, but I'm perfectionist.

This entire job cost less than $1500 including; all the tools (probably $500 in tools), parts (3 fenders, inner fender apron, radiator support, etc), paint, shop supplies, etc.

This is my test car, I have another car that will be going to a professional after this experience. Next is wide-body treatment, I'm going to try working with fibreglass and carbon fibre. I am going to use a 3D scanner, SolidWorks, and a Precix machine to create a mould (below is a video of the Precix building the speaker rings for my Civic, very menial task for this machine) . Then vacuum forming.

 

I work for Harley-Davidson so yes when I referred to denim, that's the paint I mean. My entire interor is H-D denim becides my A pillars and headliner...

Unfortunately the cheap paint isn't going to want to hold for too long on a clear coat base, even tho a matte will give you a coarse texture to hold to. I may be wrong, I have no experience with that paint. Best of luck long term, it looks great! Hopefully after I shoot my Civic denim white, I'll be ready to move to my pride and joy like you paint is turning into my passion.

 

The clear is on top of the paint... I know the way I had it written before was an error...

Thanks, I like the look of your interior, I think I am going to go with a 2-tone interior, black lower, as it is now, and red upper... A, B, and C pillars...

 

I'm done for now...what do you think?






Next is the wide-body, then the engine.

 

F***in love it bro!!! that shade of black looks so wicked!

What are your plans for wide body?

 

Thanks! I'm going to try working with fibreglass and carbon fibre. I am going to use a 3D scanner, SolidWorks, and a Precix machine to create a mould (below is a video of the Precix building the speaker rings for my Civic, very menial task for this machine) . Then vacuum forming or a 2 piece mould.

 

I think that's going to be annoying to keep clean. lol. I like that color though. I was thinking of doing my car satin black. Looks good though.

 

If sinister is the theme you were after then mission accomplished. Dark out the tail lights to take it all the way to "Dont mess with this dude"

 

do like...

 

It does look good, that's a hatch I'd drive for sure. The hood looks like it needs another good coat right to left as you can see your spray path. Remember always do a 75% overlap and you won't get that. I give you huge props for jumping to painting your car, that takes big nads.
