Heres mine i had some blue paint laying around, came out good.

I painted her outside right as i was done laying it down the cluods opened up for like a 1min sprinkle, Enuff to leave some imperfections in the car, nothing a Wet sand a respray cant fix tho. And i have plenty of paint left over

No its not any harder to lay black.
Any idiot can lay paint, some not so good but many hours of wet sanding can fix the worst painters work.
The part about do it yourself jobs is the body work they all **** up on and if you paint over dents why do it?
I can show you my DIY work but its "professional" work since thats what I do.

 

I was thinking of going my Crx 2 tone

Its got a WW kit so I was thinking black starting from the top of the doors caps down and dark green up top

 

Wetsanding owned my arms. . Bodywork was the hardest part... and I know I messed up a few spots. Not many.. but live and learn.

 

Them sure are some nice DIY Paintjobs.

 

My next job should be pretty sweet. I might be painting a friend's car in the summer.

However, nothing can compare to the level of care you give to your own car. I had my bro help me do some of the sanding and I went over his parts several times. Good luck to anyone doing DIY, have no fear and you'll be proud of yourself in the long run.
