because that is the worst idea ever. if someone wants to repaint the car with quality paint it may not work...it will bubble and do all other kinds of weird ****. but do what you want to do i guess...

 

so its not worth even trying because after the new year im going to be getting the type r front end and really get it painted

 

if your really going to get it painted dont spend the 80 dollars now. save it and spend it on gas or something...

 

lol thanx

 

haha dont get insecured with what people post, do what u want to do. plus i've seen good 50 dollar paint jobs.

 

Im going to do it I got all the stuff and the car is primered.Im almost done with the prep work

 

do what? do it right? or do it cheap?

 

you always have a wheel lug missing.

is your name Lee by the way?

 

dont let these know it alls get to you, do it. Theres really no reason not to and it WILL look good if you do it right. Good Luck

 

bro dont let em get to you....read up on the how to and know it by heart...removing panels stripping sanding primper paint etc....ive been in the painting scheme for a good time now and both of my hatches got done professionally but i have also done 50 dollar paint jobs that turned out just as good...whatever you do just make sure you do the actual painting in a garage with lots o light and youll be fine

 

bro chief, bro

 

i'm not hating. why would i say good luck then?

i just know that painting is difficult work... and not everyone can do it... especially on their first try.

i'm just being real. i've read millions of paint posts and articles.... sounds like just follow instructions...

but at the end of the day... you know it takes more than just reading directions off a computer.... feel me?

but like i said... good luck man.

 

listen man The biggest rule of thumb anyone can give you on ANYTHING you do is take your time dont rush the ****..... Alot of people that try this and get to where they are seeing results and rush through the rest because they blew there load in the first leg. Take it step by step and be sure to sand between coats and remember lighter is better with this application.

 

Im goin to take as long as it takes to do it right.No my names not Lee.Im doing the body work and then ill post more pix.

 

do it. it will:
a) make you proud if the results are good
b) learn from the whole process no matter what the outcome

 

thanx man

 

 

keep updating...

 

want to see results GL

 

Good Luck man. Just take your time and do everything right. I spent a ton of time working on my hatch and being completely honest it looks very close to new OEM paint. You'll be happy with it if you work your *** of.

 

not hating on your project man, but don't ruin all the body work with $50 of household paint. plus if you're going to repaint it later on that's a lot of paint to sand off. some cheap single stage enamel would look 10x better than what you're going to put on it.

 

Good luck man. Any updates? Are you rattle can painting it for $50?
