Re: Cars stolen from Honda Day @ ATCO 2011

You have to be an absolute f***ing moron to attend one of those "shows" with a car that you actually value. Hell I wouldn't even take a Honda rental car there for fear that some piece of trash would...

Re: Paint shops in the northeast

Wait, so you're looking for a cheap paint shop, but you're willing to drive 200+ miles to find one? Does not compute.

Re: How much do you think this would cost

/\ What he said.

I was going to type up a full reply last night but really it's pointless to ask online, just go get an estimate.

It's a pretty big job to do it right.

Re: 1100 just getting my door repainted??

It is not at all difficult to rack up $1,100 worth of body and paint labor, especially on an insurance job. People forget that straight insurance work is 'by the book' in the most literal sense, and...

Re: how come there are mutilple shades for 1 paint code?

Basically, within each paint code, all variants will look identical to each other when on different cars, even when those cars are sitting next to each other. Within G-511M Galapagos Green, Sherwin...

Re: how come there are mutilple shades for 1 paint code?

A paint code isn't just a "mix the right code and it matches" affair. There are different variations, or alternates, of each color code. As you mentioned Charlie, there are some alternates that are...

Re: filling emblem holes

use a grinder to rough up the backside of the holes and do the same to the front. Grind a bit of a divot on the front if you want, it doesn't matter.. just don't remove a lot of metal. Cut a patch...

Re: Best paint for the money.

Omni is what we use for some quick jobs and it's decent. It dyes-back easily if you get a heavy hand so make sure you spray each coat as recommended... don't just load it on there each coat.

Re: Dark Purple Paint Code?

There's a good chance it's not paint at all. It looks like a few powdercoat color combinations I've seen before. Maybe a candy purple over polished or over a "chrome" powder.

Re: How many quarts of pain do i need for my 96 civic dx coupe?

lol. No. Being a good painter has very little to do with how much color is required for coverage. Sure a good painter knows his materials and how to stretch them or where he needs extra material for...

Re: How many quarts of pain do i need for my 96 civic dx coupe?

Milano Red is not tri-coat and it has no pearl or metallic flake in it. It's a solid red base/clear. There are some tri-coat formulas which are old versions, but every paint manufacturer has...

Re: what would be the best sander to prep your car

Why? Is the paint damaged? Unless the current coating is failing or unless you know for a fact that the previous job was done horribly then just leave it alone and prep it normally. The only other...
