quick question:
Would it be hard to paint my front end with a rattle can?
i was thinking of taking it off and paint everything individualy cause i think its the easiest, wat do you guys think?

 

i work for SoCal Edison... and a Minor baseball team. and a club promoter..

 

i say sand it off... perferrable Wet Sand

 

psht....we still have a foot of snow on the ground.....and we haven't had a storm in 2 weeks...it has also been in the 30s and 40s the past week and a half

you can do it but it often comes out with runs and uneven and such....it also may not match the rest of the car....

 

thanks yea i heard you need a steady hand to rattle can.

 

yeah, you could always buy a spray gun and attempt to do it that way. someone did a rustoleom job using a spray gun and it came out pretty nice

ninja edit: it all comes down to prep

 

559 right here, now swap though just a simple gsr. gotta couple buddies that have a small crew in the werks

 

I work in the machine shop at a small family owned aircraft company, and I build aircraft tailwheels

 

i work at jiffy lube

also if you are going to rattle can the front end i recommend getting the color match so they look the same. rattle can is not hard just lay out light coats and you wont get runs or drips. then spray a coat of clear and it will look good.

Can you tell my front bumper is rattle can in this pic?

 

go down to nappa, look for their house brand of flexible bumper primer, it comes in a can larger then most spray cans, really good stuff, get the bumper super clean, sand it with 180 so it's flat, now use their flexible bumper primer to put on several coats, it's heavy and covers scratches etc, once it's cured wet sand the primer, now you have a nice surface for your paint

 

this is what you need, good stuff, i used it myself

 

Okay thanks guys. Yea I was thinking of doing it before summer came around.

 

That looks clean man. I would've never thought that was rattle can.

 

clean man

 

Man there was a snow storm last night, most of the snow is melted now. but still hella cold. Good thing I had two females to get warm with lol

 

GoodMorning BNB.... Another Rainy Weekend.....

Waiting For my new Splash Shields and bolts to come in.

Hopefully Soon cause i wanna get my engine in ... soon lol .

 

make sure it is warm enough out to cure properly. also go to a proffessional paint shop and get the paint color matched because duplicolor is never all that close (sprayed it on the front of my supra). there is a place called providence laquer back home that mixed mine and they did an awesome job. i rattle canned a few spots on my car and you can only tell where i did it on the roof and trunk because i messed up with the clear and have to hit is with some heavy cutting compound and a good buff

i woke up and it was snowing....i just said wtfvck and rolled back over

so thats what they call it these days?

 

I wanna make a EG Squad like the EK Squad ... but i think people would lowkey hate.

 

isn't there one already?

 

besides...people will find something to hate on regardless of what you do

 

If There is i havent seen it ... all i saw was a EG Hatch Thread and thats all .. but i wouldnt consider that as a squad of some sort.

 

yeah i just searched. there are 2 eg hatch threads, and 2 sedan threads (one is the ferio squad...i never understood what the eff a ferio is....stupid jdm fan boys)

 

i think ferios are like italian verison but thats just me

 

thats just what the civic sedan is called in japan

 

ok guys. i haz a question. my friend has a 95 integra ls auto and it wont start. when he turns the key all you hear is the starter make a high pitched wine like it is spinning itself but not the fly wheel. i was thinking its the teeth on the starter or fly wheel. is this possible? anyone have experience with anything like this?
