Agreed!I have seen gloss jobs look like shit more than if they would've painted it flat black.

lol yeah, youve got to kind of have the skill and know how to paint, either autobody or something like your house, its not as simple as point and spray and every thing turns out perfect, and like you said, if there is ripple effect in the sheet then your doomed to look like hsit

Tell that to people who think body work is as easy as sanding and then painting.

nah, sanding is just one of those extra things not really needed, like auto insurence, just a waist of money, hell when i paint, half the time i dont even whipe the dirt off, just spray over it, gives the paint something to stick to

What do you mean spray it? The best paint jobs are always done with rollers, and everybody knows it!

rollers? go to your local paint store, get some satin finish paint and brushes, you will LOVE it

what do you think of those water color paints that I used in kindergarden?

[dmbrisket 51]

doesnt even compair to the finish of fingerpaint (non stain water based kind... of corse)

[movin2stereo]

Nobody has mentioned spray cans yet.Make sure if you use a spray can,don't mask anything off.So that you paint moldings and glass.I just love those kind of jobs.

make sure that when you do this, you color all the same direction, it looks sooo bad when they color in any damn direction they please, and moven2 has a point, spray bombs were ment strictly for point and spray, nothing need be done b4 during or after, its alwse classy to have the tires and stock rims matching the paint on your car/truck/hotrod
