Of course I do tristage. I do gelcoat (if needed), primer, basecoat, clearcoat.


Painted this kenstyle kit myself (fb,rb,ss)



Painted this interior candy apple red

 

nice. have u painted a whole with tri-stage?

 

The first car I painted I did the whole tri-stage treatment. I painted a lancer with an apex kit lamborghini black... the owner's car got repo-ed before I got a chance to get pix. It was ****ing beautiful. Sanded the whole car down to it's bare metal, glazecoated the whole car, primered applied 3 layers of basecoat, then applied 2 wet coats of clear. Colorsanded then buffed for a grand finale.

 

kool. i'm planning to paint my car lime green like the one in 2fas2. i'll use house of kolor.

 

PLEASE don't do that

Last thing we need is a REAL evo posing as the 2 slow 2 weak mock of an evo.

 

I'm plannin to paint my car later 2004 BMW #400 Steel Grey Effect

 

stay away from the green meng!

 

Now THAT is a color to be custom painting a car

Im going to be painting mine pearl white with orange flakes in it (the 350z burnt orange color flakes).

 

got any example pics?

here is BMW #400 on STi

 

No example pix cuz it's never been done before

 

ic... why dont try with gold pearl? This BMW #400 cost too much.... 29 bucks for 1/2 pint. Imagine for the whole car.

 

...it only takes a quart to paint a car***... so hmm 60 bucks o no?!?!

***if done properly

 

You want expensive paint? Try House of color's Chameleon effect paint... costs like $300-400 per pint.

 

2 pints make a quart rite? and i know at my school we can paint a car with a quart...

 

HAHA no thanks...
