Okay so i will be painting my 1995 integra in a couple of months
I have read in articles that boat paint is glossier and I read the build that the guy did with the white civic
Anyways i would like to see some more pics of different cars painted with boat paint
I live in canada and dont know where to buy this stuff as well

Find a boat forum? IMO sounds like a waste of time when you just do a few coats of single stage. Either way its going to cost money and time.

i couldn't agree more, most people don't realize prep work is 80-90 percent of the whole process, after all the work i don't get why people use sh-t paint on it.

the only reason i see people use sh-t paint is when they don't really do or need prep work.

well, that's just me

 

boat paint is like 50 dollars , spray gun is like 200 plus compressor , expensive paint and primer plus clearcoat

I would rather someone tell me more about this as i have seen people talking about it , aparantly better than 50 dollar paint job

good luck, we are just saying if you are going to throw in 30 hr of prep work sanding and fixing sh-t up, might as well finish it with something better.

if you want it to look half decent, you will need to do body work on it, it doesn't matter it's fish oil, boat paint, rattle can, BASF or nector of god.

hey, here a news. SS doesn't even runs that much, maybe a couple hundred more but damn it, if it will last ten year more. you can do all the prep and have someone shoot the car, or rent a booth. ask around. they cost alot of money for a reason, they are chemically superior, meant to last and build for automotive use for everyday. Remember this, any paint job is as strong/good as the weakest link, you can block the darn thing str8 as hell for 2 week, when the crap **** paint starting to fade,bubble, chip, all the work are lost. we don't flame you because we do paint job with proper paint job material, we tell you not to because we been there.


anyways, good luck with the boat paint plan, post pictures

 

boat paint is more expensive then cheap single stage automotive paint. trust me ive bought both.

get the BOAT paint at a BOAT store. Yacht store, marine store, etc....

i painted my beat up pos miata with 500-600 worth of paint, DBC PPG paint BC/CC

save a little more and then do it with the right stuff.


you probably need 3qt of paint, a gallon or reducer, a gallon of clear, 3-4 qt of 2k primer/sealer.

and sh0t load of sand papers

spend a tad more now and don't have to fix it for um..ten year?

 

if you dont have a 30gal 6hp+ compressor and a hvlp paint gun get the boat paint and roll the **** on and thin it like 70/30 if its warm to about 50/50 if its cold... buy atleast 2L of paint that will give you quite a few coats

 

u can find a gallon of real single stage for cheap..go to ur local autobody jobber they usally have paint that where mixed wrong if ur not lookin for a particular color

I suggest using the "Interlux Brightside" line of topside paints because they are proven to be much better than Rustoleum in regards to gloss (no comparison), and the use of UV inhibitors and protection.

I did my 93 Civic a year back and Interlux Brightside Black has been a pleasure to work with, and still glossy the day I rolled it on. No problems whatsoever.

I'm in Canada and purchased my paint at: http://www.foghmarine.com/index.asp

Good luck
