Colin - STAPUFT Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just don't have the stones to do paint myself. So- mad props to you! My dad has all the equipment and space to do it too... I am just afraid. So, the whole thing is gonna' be murdered out flat black- no chrome either. I think that is going to be sick. Hot Rod magazine did a fiberglass roadster flat black, but the roof they hit with clear, then used red striping (matched the interior) to separate the colors. That looked cool too. But on yours, I can see this thing just sick flat black.

But on yours, I can see this thing just sick flat black. Yeah man, I was shaking when I laid the first coat! The whole thing won't be murdered out though. The white is a flat white and will stay that way. The hood roof trunk and all chrome will be flat black for a flat 2 tone look. The white looks real good already so I'm excited! The only issue I have with a fully murdered out car is that the car HAS to be washed almost every day. ANY grease like your hand prints or even just some road grime looks terrible and blotchy. Seen it too much out here in Cali. That's why the only black is the center of the car. No one touches it at all. Hell the trunk has a crazy little handle that pops out when you open the trunk so I don't even have to touch it! The goal is to spray it today so we'll see! Quote Starting From Scratch!!

mhuck123 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Alright, got a little update. Things have been crazy so I was delayed in spraying her down and even more delayed in getting the pics up. It would be even worse if I didn't the iphone cuz I ALWAYS forget the camera!!! A little flat black In the booth waiting to cure. Don't mind how dirty the rest of the car is!! A little side shot Rear shot I like the overall look but it came out a little streaky. I've seen a lot of flat paint jobs like that and there is no way I'm gonna leave it like that. As soon as I put the rest of the car together I'm gonna re spray the rest again but it's sexy for now!

mhuck123 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sorry for the delay guys, got a sick daughter and couldn't get the car put all back together but most is done now and it's looking crazy! I'm gonna buy a few clips from the stealership that I broke and finish her up this week to get some photos done. Got a LOT more goodies in the garage waiting for installation to blow a few minds!
