dkahns51 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Yea, whole car, we're just testing out methods on the hood. Here's the reprimed hood. and this hasn't been wiped down yet. Why did you spray paint it? It looked pretty good before... **Clicky>>My 2009 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Buildlog<<Clicky** I'm messing up 98% of the time
michigancapri92 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 i would say get one of those handles to get more control and do more larger fluent motions so you dont get the blotches like i see Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED
bmph8er Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 this may sound kinda crazy but i sanded my car down and i rolled it with semi gloss acrylic latex house paint. it came out great if you ask me. if your spray paint dont work out u could give this a try. 2001 gmc seirra 5.3 auto 3.73 locked rear, long tube headers, offroad y pipe, duals, cai, black bear tune, 2/4 drop, 22s, rockford fosgate mods and highs and 4 ab hd 15s and a ab 750.1 1995 civic 1.5 auto slower then hell, dropped on coil overs, ex hub caps, 2 12 trunk, have 450 bucks in the car and gets 35 mpg 1992 s10 being bagged, shaved, and small stereo. right now a pile of parts

thebiggmann12 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 if it doesnt work out, i read online and saw pictures of a guy who bought a shitload of actual automotive paint, and rolled it on. then he wetsanded it down smooth and rolled on clear. then he wetsanded it smooth and it looked absolutely awesome.
BIGJOSE352 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 It looks to me you used cheap rattle can primer...Are you using lacquer primer? You need to sand all that primer you sprayed and use a good 2K Urethane Prime automotive grade high-build up primer...
TLEJ Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 We sanded the whole car almost.. still got a few spots left.
TLEJ Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 Here's a video of what we have so far.. Is it necessarily to go back and get every edge perfectly? Or should we begin the paint process.. What's next? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sea3non6ZWE And we didn't have the tailights/headlights in during the sanding.
bassHZ Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 imo opinion that car is to nice to ruin with rattle cans i would save up for some spray guns ive spraypainted my old car before its a pain in the ass ur finger gets locked up and tired by the end of the day and the results arent worth it u still have to clear coat it etc or the paint will fade http://www.tcpglobal.com/spraygundepot/tcpgate.aspx thats the set am trying to buy my self theyre not the best but there alright for beginners ....i think this would be a good learning experience let us know how this goes
