Post them up, and what equipment was used, from spray cans to profesional guns.

I want to do mine to save money, but i wanna know what kind of finish u can get with what equipment

 

t

 

if you use a spray can, but you do it the right way, then clear, and buff/polish it, it can come out very nice

 

spray can primer/base coat/clear all from http://www.paintscratch .com came out just as good as my professional paint job on the exterior of the car...

i just repainted all the interior for my 89 240sx... it was all the nasty blue factory color. i am more than pleased with the results, looks like OEM color and cost a total of $15 and about 3hrs of work


edit: i used Duplicolor Vinyl/Fabric Coating... had it on there for a few weeks and its still good as new even around the handles and armrest and kick panels that get tons of wear

 

What steps did you do?

 

for mine, i washed them down really well with regular dish soap... then scuffed LIGHTLY with a scotch brite pad, then put on about 3-4 even coats until i got the color i was looking for. i've painted cars before and stuff like that, so im pretty good with spray control and stuff, but just take ur time and make sure you dont overspray and get drips, and make the coats as even as you can

that doesnt look half bad at all.

yea forreal how you do that?

 

best. valve cover. ever.

 

i believe i used a satajet300
7 gallon compressor
dupont chromabase and clear

did this in my garage

 

I have a question, how do ppl paint their bays, w/out taking the motor out? my friends car was recently painted, including the bay without taking the motor out...n it looks flawless....u cant even find green, if u tried to....

 

I am looking to get a compressor for air tool use and to start spraying.

Would a 24ltr compressor be ok, what should i look for when getting a compressor suitable for this?

 

Few things I did on my old Crx haha all outside in the summer.

Single Stage my bay without taking the motor out.





Painted the rear with a paint gun then used clear in a can.

 

how did you paint with the motor in the car?

Good bit of taping and a little patience. I used a air brush gun to get the tighter spots then used a bigger gun for the rest.

 

used Sata Minijet 3000 with 1.0 tip for the roll cage. Painted that House of Kolor Turble Shimrin blue pearl. Then used House of Kolor UFC35 Flow clear

used Sata RP 3000 Digital gun with 1.2 tip for the back of the car, Painted it dupont Chromabase F1695K(Honda's Vogue silver Metallic) and Clear

was it originally red, and you just sprayed over?

I'm thinking this would be harder for a car that was to be painted a completely different color from stock.

Yeah it was red before I painted it the same color. I agree it would be a lot more harder if the color was different.

 

in for pics and info ...

Spraying my red bay black tomorrow ... with the motor still in.

wish me luck.
