damn that sux...

phatboycrxhf

i say.... i say..... BULLSHIT ,you say you painted it outside under a tent and didn't have to cut and polish it ?yeah right

so your saying that the weather was so perfect that there wasent anything in the paint or clear ? hmmmmm i don,t believe that mister haha

so there wasent any orange peel at all ? i don,t see how that possible since you did it outside and even in a booth witht he perfect setup you get orange peel .

even from factory you have orange peel .

you did a very good job ,i just think your stretching the turth a bit there bud

ThatGuy(SW)

Well "bud" you seem to know nothing about painting. Weather does not have an effect of Orange Peel... nor does the temp. Even so, I live in Fla. I never said there wasnt a few peices of trash in the clear... its just no orange peel. Doing this **** for a living really helps with the whole orange peel factor as well. you dont need a booth to get a good paintjob

and for the record.... orange peel is a result or gun pressure and how far away and or how fast you spray. Also quality materials help.

the end product of the teal eg.....

the color is hot.. i cant take my eyes off it...

phatboycrxhf

wow !obviously you don't know anything about painting since weather and temp has alot to do with it when you do it outside .

thats like painting int he cold ,whats going to happen ? its going to run no matter what right .

ahhhhh i'm not goignt o get into it .you did a great job on that car ,just don,t think your telling the truth (shrugs)

Genuine Rolla

Well this is true, but i wasnt reffering to extremes like this. Its Florida dude...in June. And yes, you can paint in the cold without it running... well, with a heatlamp on the panel. But it still SUCKS. Annnd I'm not lying. lol, so heres a AFTER buff picture.


Cant tell, but theres still some peel towards the top. Shrunk the pic to much.

vargas

how much do you guys think i could get a paint job like sneezinCD5 (on the first page) ,for?

except the color would be like a Si blue?

(hatchy) minor body work

phatboycrxhf

haha yeah you have a point (mantioba,canada florida) big diffrence there and i'm sure we have totally diffrent ways of doing things

here is a pic of a hood i just painted last night ,no wetsand buffing or polish .

yeah flames ,there metallic green pearl


and a pic to show how well it turned out .don't mind the wiped dust . (i only had it sitting for about and hour and it had a layer of dust allready

ThatGuy(SW)

Met. green flames on black looks good man. I like how its on one side and not all across.

And I just read your 1st post, I've never used cans of water on the ground, but I have wet the entire area, deff. helps out with dust flyin around. I'll even wet the ground when in a booth, works great.

My homemade "roller" paint job. Interlux Brightside Black.

phatboycrxhf

yeah i like the flames ,most don't but i don't care haha .I like to have fun with it .

yeah ive tried the cans of water deal ,it works ,but not as good . there was a layer of dust on the top of the water .

not as good as just wetting the whole area down . I think the person that started that was just lazy! there is next to no clean up ,except for what you painted haha .

so guys stick to just wetting the whole floor down ,works better .

but i allso wet my poly walls i put up to spray the hood and it worked great . allt eh paint dust stuck to the wall and ran down the the ground .

Here it was my bro, my bro-in-law, and me sanding down the car with 500 grit 3M sand paper. By the way, we are wet sanding.




Here we are taping up the car and covering the wheels of the car. This is the longest process.



My bro is painting the door jams first, and later will paint the outside all at once.

We didn't wanna take off the doors, but if you like it to be perfect, you can take it out.


He also painted inside the trunk....this was just the first 2 coats...there's no whites at the end.


Here he is painting the roof....sliding down the sun/moon roof so that the inside is painted as well..Not the interior. We taped underneath the sun roof so that no paint will get in.


Now that all jams, trunk, and under hood are painted. he went on and painted the outside.





It gets very foggy in the garage as u can see.


Here is a finish paint of the car without clear coat yet.


Here it is after he painted 3 coats of clear.



We took it outside for a good look, to see if we missed any spots.



Then he painted the bumpers, side skirts, and mirrors.


After all was done, he sanded the car with i think 1500 or 3000 grit sand paper and used some compound to remove little rough imperfections on the surface. And after that, buffed the entire car with 3M polishing compound. I don't have pics of this process.

Here is the finish piece.

latest cars added look great

i'm really intot he mustangs paint color ,very nice and great job

its amazing what paint can do haha

fatsvert

Thanks for that, man.
I was checking out your's and stunn'd's work. Both of you guys are doing amazing things. Taking rusted northern cars and making them look new. Great stuff!

The color's deep jewel metallic green. Ford color code PA. Some expensive stuff, as it's packed full of all different color pearl. My dvmbazz went to Car-quest and told them to mix it up for me, clueless of how much it would cost (base alone was $500), so I got stuck with it. If I'd known upfront the cost, I would've done black.

Thanks again

huertascoupe

a little hint when you spay metallics you want to fan them out so that they lay even.

If you would like to prove me wrong i work in a shop that has a 50ft long 20 ft wide downdraft and a normal car down draft booth.Both heated.You can bring any car you would like up and any paint you would like with you.If when its done beeing painted it has ZERO peel in it i will give you $1000...If it has peel you give me $1000...................................

</TD></TR></TABLE>I had the project pixs hosted on a mustang site, but the server lost it's image hosting, along with my documented pictures I had pictures of it primed, in the home made booth ready for shooting and directly after shooting. Lost them all.
They were here http://5lmustang.com/forum/vie...art=0


Here's a few that survived though.

A couple of when I was stripping it.




After some of the 87-93 upgrade body parts were test fitted. I had some cheap Nason base that I used as guide coat for the final sanding.
