I talking paint jobs done with automotive paint and a spray gun. I want to see how all the different lines come out such as dupont ppg any other base coat clear coat paints. Im considering ppg shopline bc/cc.

Just post shots of your completed projects along with what brand paint and gun you used. Don be afraid to ***** your cars out

Hawkze_2.3 The crv is looking great I love the color.

A few i have done.









my two current rides, both painted in my garage.

If you watched the build on this car, a lot of time went into it. So even if Eyger got his materials for cost or even pennies, there was a lot of time spent on this build. Very impressive. Also the name Eyger, where does this name originate from? I would say HU, but i could be wrong.

let's see

from this





to this



paint is a 2K RAL color from PPG, build time +/- 2 months

then after 2 years









Paint 1K base coat from Dupont with 2K clearcoat. Car was actually painted completely in the dupont paint and clearcoat. But because I wasn't happy with the result, I sanded it down again with a P1200 wet and repainted it again. Build time 6 months. Final paint was done in a professional paint booth. I don't understand how you guys keep dust out of the paint when painting in your garage.

egvtec

you clean real good then wetsand and buff after, ive never had too much dust in the paint.

low91rex

Wow all these cars look awesome. Props to eveyone so far lets keep this going!

low91rex

Oh btw EGVTEC what paint did you use for the red eg?

I spent around $500.00 for paint and supplies (Frost White)

Saw the car behind a dealership and bought it for $500.00
