yea i know its cheap paint and i know it wont be perfect, but i will be spraying this on a car and it will be the first time i have ever used a gun.

he want a single stage paint......i dunno sounds like a good deal!


btw he is wanting a white. so im thinkin it wont be to hard to **** up.

 

you just answered your own question homey.

sounds like a good deal, haha....but trust, trust, when it comes to paint you get what you pay for. But if its your first time spraying a car and dude wants to get away with it super cheap, then thats the way too go. White is def the way to go for maximum screw up camouflage, but dont get it twisted single stage is more difficult than base/clear, especially for beginners.. If you run single stage paint, good luck cutting and buffing it, its nearly impossible to not ruin single stage paint if you have to sand and buff. Base/clear is definitely more forgiveable cause spraying basecoat is relatively easy, just have to make sure your pattern overlap and technique is good so your not zebra striping. Clearing is next and although you may run the clear, and have some orange peel and dirt in it, you can always cut and buff clearcoat. If you dont sand like a madman and burn through the clearcoat you can buff it up to look very nice. Although it is a bit more work and more money, its worth it if you ask me.

Just PLEASE DONT end up laying your white single stage like this dude and youll be okay.

scroll down and youll see what im talking about.the paintjob this dude did is outstandingly hideous,you need to PRACTICE on something, or multiple things before you spray and your results will be alot better.

 

LOL So much orange peel. Geez its like he didnt even thin it out .

I actually gave this paint a try. Not sure what happened, but it did some really strange things. First of all, had to thin it out way more than recommended to even get it to spray out the gun, so then I got runs-no good. On top of that, got some really bad fisheyes. I'm not sure what caused it either because I tried to spray it on a panel I hadn't used any solvent on, and it still did the same thing. One thing that seemed to be good is that it is really hard paint being that it is an enamel. I ended up going with a little more expensive base/clear and pretty decent results.

If you are on a budget, I would suggest going to a local auto body supply store and seeing what they have in stock for OOPS! paint. Y'know batches that got mixed incorrectly. You can sometimes find some decent colors for real cheap. I got a gallon of PPG Deltron for $50. That's REALLY cheap!

 

That car's paint looks like gator skin!
