My current paint project hatch for less than $100
before
this is how the car was for a while since the previous owner decided to quit halfway in priming. even the pass. side door was starting to rust w/ that huge dent that you can see. i took care of most of the bodywork except for the hood. replacing it w/ a carbon one
after
i sprayed a metallic blue but im still not finished. i still have uneven areas but arent too noticeable. more clearcoat, wetsanding, rubbing compound, and polish and i should be completely done. i don't think it turned out that bad for my first paint job

it looks better now. the pics i took were only when i had a couple coats on. i stated before that i wasn't finished. spraying at night w/ limited light made it hard to see where i missed but i fixed all that now. i'll post pics soon. as for the hood, i said i didn't care about fixing the dents as i would replace it w/ a carbon one. the only body work i did were all around the car esp. the major dents on the door. please read before posting, thanks

Then why did you even bother painting it?

Definately not a bad job so far. You will need more coats. But I'm sure it will turn out looking pretty good. I know I wouldn't have unmasked the car just to wash it though. I hate masking!

ha. not really
looks like poop, with the time you invested in it, you should've gone with the better stuff and have a half decent finish
