well i finally had some pictures turn out decent... i think anyway, im no pro at photographing.. but here it is..

me and a friend painted this in our body shop class(about 2 years ago)(and since then its been sitting in my garage collecting dust), this was my grade, and i got an A.

all comments welcome.






(if this needs to be moved to the app/cos forum, then please do so)

used Diamont.

before:




the body was straight for the most part... had alot of little door dings and hail damage that was uncovered when we started sanding..

that hood was a trip when i got it... the dude had cut a hole in it, i guess for a scoop or something.. so me and some buddys cut a door panel apart and welded the hood shut... lol.. it was a temp fix for the time being...

 

looks good, if that is the same grey i'm thinking of, getting the metallic to lay right is a pain.

 

nice paint job

 

ps4?

 

Looks really good. It's kind of funny that all of the paint jobs on here that were done in someone's high school body shop look awesome. Its just amazing how good a paint job turns out when you're going by the books every step of the way. Great job!

not sure if i know what u mean here??..

when u spray metallics.. lets say for instance if u spray to close or to thick, the metallics will bunch up versus if u spray it far enough away, but not to far.. the lay down smooth.. and then they look even.. its kinda hard to explain.. its easier to tell if u can see it..

does that help??
