So i finally decided to do something about the shitty paint job on my car. i started the body work on friday and right now the car is drying after primer in my garage. the only thing holding me back now, is the wheather. for people considering doing this themselves, ill give a little on what i've baught and how much i've paid
. all prices are candian

1 gallon Paint, reducer, sealer, hardener - 190$

sander, 5 packages of sandpaper, body filler, tack cloth, masking tape, huge roll of paper - 100$

i first used 150 grit paper, and then went ove some spots with 400 grit


Here are a few pics from last night, i have more from primer today, but cant find my USB wire. it should be fully painted by tuesday. ill keep it updated

 

what was so wrong with the white? looks good so far. in it for some updates

the back fenders were off white, and there were alot of scratches

 

pictures during first coat..some parts seem a little fish eye'ish

 

is the paint smooth? looks like theres alot of particles and dust in the paint...

 

^^im sure this is before wet sanding and clear.

looks good, cant wait to see the finished product

 

no, pics were taken when we were waiting for the compressor to fill back up


wasnt even finished first coat.

 

Good luck!!!

 

nice job

 

thanks\

 

looks good

hopefully it turns out!

 

I see alot of sanding and buffing in your future.

Have fun!
