re-paint?

just wondering, but has anybody ever seen someone do a decent paint job using spray paint cans? i mean like... 12 cans of spraypaint for a small car... mabye using some kind of clear coat after to get it to look nicer. one of my friends mentioned that his buddy can do an amazing job with cans of paint..:screwy: ?



btw, what does this face mean anyways? > :licka:
haha

i've only seen a few cars painted with spray paint and they all looked like complete crap. you may end up making your car look a lot worse. i don't really know anything about painting though

useing spray paint looks like crap. tried it before. i would just sand the thing down then use primer! lol i like it.

well, ive seen a lot of people spray red spray paint and it looks horrible. i was thinking about getting a quarter panel from the junk yard and testing it to see if it would come out ok. i want to paint it jet black so mabye some imperfections wont show up as much...

You could always try out a bunch of different sized nozzles (like a big fat spray pattern), that might help a little.

i just spend $250 at Macco...but that's just me

i just spend $250 at Macco...but that's just me

That is just the cost for an overspray with no prep work.

i know...will probably still look better than spray paint

Spray paint will not look good..I had bought the croma color spray paint and attempted one strip on my old 87 civic hatch and surley enough it looked like someone spray painted the car...

well if you want soemthign thats decent yet stil lwithstands the elements you coudl always got with epoxy primer sealer. its a low gloss flat styel color but its not bad and its quite cheap. i use it for body work and as a base coat.

Ya, go super cheap and get Macco at LEAST.

nah i think macco and earl shibe are way to cheap. and there piss as quality in 2 years at best the paint will look no better then the paint thats im sure is on his car now. they use a enaml and thta sutff is terrible.

Yeah dont go with maacco or earl shrieb or even try to spray paint your car. Either get yourself a quality paint job at a good paint shop, or just primer your car if your desperate to change the paint. You'll end up regretting the shitty paint job youll get with macco or earl shreib.

doesnt look toooo bad if you do it right, not my car but this was done with rustoleum spray paint

i bought a bumper and hood from a yard that was the wrong color, and used spray paint. it looked like spray paint untill i , wet sanded it, and used rubbing compound. it got rid of all that orange peel texture and it came out smooth s glass. and it only cost me like $25. it did take a long time though. all by hand. 1 1\2 wet sand and probably 2 - 2 1/2 hrs with the rubbing compound. just for the hood alone.

can you send me a picture of it or somthing? i dont mind if it takes a long time to make it look nice, ill spend as long as it takes doing it, i just dont have the money to spend to get it done really nicely... plus im not sure how long im going to have the car. its white right now, and every little bump or scratch is really noticeable.
its gotta look decent ya know? :licka:

I backed into a giant water tank at my school a year ago or so, no damage but took some paint off the bumper, I picked up a can of factory match paint at autozone, cant tell it was ever there..and I did almost no prep work, just washed it and wiped it down real good, theres no lines or blotches..Ill take a picture soon, my camera is charging. Granted, it is a small area, but except for the fact that I didnt really prep the area, so its is a tiny low spot in the paint, but as far as matching. It blended right in, and Ive had no problems with it flaking off or anything. I am interested in trying a larger piece soon. With actual prep work.

yeah i painted part of the back hatch with some white spray paint i got from canadian tire and you cant tell at all. the problem is that i dont wanna spraypaint it white again, i want it black if its possable.

haha this guy from my work spraypainted his dodge neon camoflage yesterday and it looks halarious. he really screwed it up. but he did the whole car in half an hour =/

anyways, i also painted the whole front of my hood where the Honda emblem is and its pretty hard to tell. i used grey Tremclad Automotive Rust Primer and white rust paint

do you remember what kind of paint you used?

Duplicolor, factory match paint, mine is code NH-538, Frost White.
