Default k got bored and decided to do 50$ paint on my EG but in Dark ivy green

yeah got bored to night, so decided to try it to see wat all the commotion is about.
ill up date the pics but i didnt use rustoleum or the trem thing, just went to wal mart and had them make me color with the outdoor latex oil base paint they have hope it turns out ok, first coat looks ok but i think i layed it out to thick. im gonna wait till tomorrow after noon to wet sand. let it dry a bit. ill post some pics by tomorrow thanks guys

kinda fuckd up on the first two coats...it was latex stupid move!!! It started to peel off when we started to wetsand. But I sanded it until its nice and smooth but its not peeling anymore. So I layed down one coat of rustolum paint. It turned out okay. But hope the bottom layer doesnt peel. I put that down one layer thinking that it should be okay to wet sand and not peel since its the rustolum. Here are some pics just got done with the coat. But its night time. It looks okay but im going to wait till tomorrow to wet sand and hopefully it doesnt expletive up. Comments and advices are welcome...

thanks in advance.

DUDE!!! You didn't even mask the car off?!?!?!?

WTF!?

God... this is why people laugh at people that do $50/roller paint jobs.

Do it right, it'll be mint.

Cut corners and it looks like smashed ********. Which is about what your car looks like.

No people laugh at the $50 paint job cause they are 50 foot cars anything closer and the real beauty of them comes to light.You will never be able to make the $50 jobs look as good as the worse $129 maco or who ever does the cheapo's in you area paint job.They suck and have way to much peel in them.Cant wait till you guys start the how to remove my $50 paint job cause its starting to peel or the paint is cracking

i have yet to see a "$50" paint job that is even close to OEM specs. people always post far away pictures that don't show a damn thing. Also lets see how long they last.

you can do a good single stage paint for like $100 per gallon (depending on the color).

step up and do some decent base/clear jobs and you will see the difference
