Maybe it's just the angle or something but it looks like you missed a fairly substantial dent below the gas lid.

 

Very Very Nice . Me and my buddy are painting his car too in the back of his garage. Ill post some pics when we get done this weekend. Its a dc2 with a JDM type R front end. we also put that on ourselves too. Not bad for first time puttin 1 on I think! .

 

What kind of tools did you use to paint? was it a spray gun or did you rattle can it?
great job on it

before i painted i went with 400 grit then primered then i dont remember what grit i used to sand the primer prob like 600 or somethign

then i layed down like 7 -8 coats of paint then sanded with 1000 to get most of the orange peel off then finished with 1500

yeah i thinned down the paint with mineral spirits to like a milky consistancy ,

i buffed the body and driver door with compound to get the scratches from the 1500 grit out

didnt polish yet imma wait till i get everything painted and onthe car

 

thanks.looks good,nice paint gun's!!

 

Welp havent really updated this to much ive been on my bui;d thread in the EF/CRX forum (check sig for My project thread)


but this is where i stand as of last night

i should be gettting everyhtign back on today!!!

 

Looks good!

Are you gona rock it panda style or are you not finished?

What aircompressor did you use and did it supply enough CFM? I was thinking about doing the same thing my to eg (real guns and air compressor) but I couldn't justify the price. Also why did you prime the whole car? Correct me if I'm wrong but the point of using Rustoleum so no need for prime or clear. Sorry if this sounded negitave just trying to learn.

Props

 

craftsman 6HP 33 GAL tank 150 MAX PSI

its 8.6 SCFM @ 40 PSI
and 10.4 SCFM @ 20 PSI

somethign like that


and it was kinda enough i had to wait a couple times to wait it to fill up


but the fenders are fiberglass and cracked so untill i find new OEM fenders im going to keep them flat black !


but they only thing thats going to be black is the hood when im done

this is going to be an ongoing project not just what it is today


also i primed it bc i wanted to i know you dont NEED to with rustoleum but i wanted to practice the right way to do **** so i get the feel for when i do my next project

 

Looking good so far.

 

hey I have fender just like that on my red ef hatch, they will be painted soon

 

came out good
