^ Ignore him. He goes into all the $50 paint job / rattle can threads and says how shitty they are, how dumb the people are that do it, etc. It's kind of annoying, but what can you do? I just ignore him.

Gonna be painting mine gloss white from Rustoleum in the coming month. Although, I'm gonna be spraying it out of an HVLP gun + compressor, as it's less work + less sanding

thats deffinitely diffrent

I posted my car on p. 17 right after I painted it. I never wetsanded, polished, or waxed the car for a few years and it became satin over time:

2008 ish:


2009:


Then I got tired of seeing satin so I wet sanded w/ 2000 grit & polished:


The best part is people ask what kind of paint and they say "No really" when I say I bought 12 cans of Rustoleum for $48. No clear coat either. I had a couple of extra cans in case I ever need to touch-up. Budget build

it will be all purple eventuallly but i painted the rims white now but ive been lazy to finish it =]

(sand, buff, etc...) new to this.

Anyone happen to find an available spray color (Krylon, Valspar, Rustoleum, etc) that is close to tahitian green?

Chris.

why not just get tahitian green touch up paint?

Hey real dx or anyone else when you say polished what do you guys use? I just finished my front end and rear bumper and wet sanded it, it has some shine but would like more. I used clear don't know if that matters.

ftrms

just the front end and mirrors right now, not sure if its going to rain so havent done the rest yet.

^ Process? Sanding, what paint you used, out of a can/rolled/sprayed, etc. Looks pretty good!

el crapitan

polished hx's?

jdm36

ftrms

Sanded it down not sure what grit but bout medium. Used article white from diplicolor exact match, 2 coats. Then sprayed gloss clear and wetsanded with 2000. I want to polish it up like teal dx did but not sure how?
