MaliBOOM Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) I have been wanting to paint my 09 Malibu Matte Black for a couple months now, BUT my funds aren't allowing me. Should I attempt to do it myself with a couple buddies of mine who have and can paint cars good? Sand and prep ourselves+paint the car ofcourse. If it doesn't turn out the way I'd like I can always get it done professionally, but I would like it try it at least once to see if it comes out good Should I or no?

n8ball2013 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 remember to ground the frame and id do a lot of research. I suck spraying anything. Mainly due to a lack of hands on with it. There are very few things i like to outsource. Paint and body are one.

Bship Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I would be prepared to have someone paint it. It's gonna be really hard to get it right yourself.

splmark Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I know a few ppl that paint and they just scuff the stock paint job and go to town. It looks alot easier then it really is so take ur time. If it was me I would get someone else to do it, go by a few shops and talk to the painter himself and see if he will do it on the side Quote http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/memberalbum/34416a0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me I would get someone else to do it, go by a few shops and talk to the painter himself and see if he will do it on the side thanks for the advice Me personally when i my maxima painted me and my dad did all the sanding other stuff.. and just took it to maco and had them spray it.. was only about 250 for the job since we did all the prep work. and it looked great till i crashed it. Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
