Alrite, fellas.
Got myself some automotive spray paint cans, dont ask why i got it, seemed cheaper for a newbie diy, patch maint seem very reasonable though.

Painted my grille and trunk lip, and it came out a few shades darker, was this due to clearcoat?

Also i'm going to paint my sideskirt as well, and i dont want to make the same mistake so i need some confirmation/advice.

Is it safe if I clean, sand, primer then, paint without clearcoat?(to see what it looks like after it dries up and stuff)

then later on if i know the paint is really that much off, could I just clearcoat it later on, is it possible to do that? (Later on would be in a week or so.)
Help please, thanks

 

yeah thats fine. you need to use plastic adheasion promoter to keep the paint from coming off though. the paint may have turned out different because it isn't a perfect match. your stock color usually is faded. also, not all factory colors are the same. there are many variables that change factory paint even though its supposed to be the same paint code.

 

Oh really? but will there be a really big difference if I dont clearcoat it??

 

it won't be shinny

 

since clearcoat made it darker, and it seems that if i don't clearcoat it it'd be my car color. wouldn't hurt to try?

 

Im not even going to reply to this one

 

what color is your car? primer your sideskirt white and then hit it with paint and if you dont clear coat it it will chip and wont be glossy

 

Next time, be helpful or get out of my thread and don't even post at all. Don't need people like you who are unhelpful and just want to make unneeded remarks.

 

haha

 

Wow, grow up.

 

You need to grow up and stop rattle canning your damn car bro. That what kids use

 

Okay there rich guy. You must be that immature and that much of a kid to even still post here and talk ****. Take you and your ricey *** car outta here.

 

there are numerous of people who rattle can there whole car and it comes out clean...the thread was title "$50 paint job" or something...this one:

DiRT!'s car which was about $100. Looks good to me.



back to the topic: syzurs is right on the plastic adhesion promoter since sideskirts flex. without it, the paint will chip/crap easily.

was told paintscratch.com has pretty near-to-OEM paint. Good luck and patience is key when painting.

 

What car? The ones with real paint? Done by someone with intelligence?

 

slowej8 the only reason why precisionsc54 said hes not gonna reply because you kept asking about the clear coat and 1 guy said it wont be shiny and you kept asking weather to clear coat it or not but take my advise primer it white before you lay the paint on so the paint will be lighter if you use darker primer you will have to have a few layers of paint and it will come out darker..remember like the others said use plastic adhesion promoter, primer, and paint & clearcoat. try paintscratch.com there paint will match your car pretty good

 

Your ricey integra. Didn't fast and furious call you and wanted their spoiler back? LOL
And wait, you're telling me the one with real paint? Is rattle canning fake paint or what? My car is already OEM paint you newb, I'm budget painting my lips, and sideskirts, go reread if you dont know what you're talking about and make a fool of yourself.
Oh and someone with intelligence must be you, paying hundreds to paint your ricey car, and that's posting something totally helpless. Gj

Oh by the way, if you're still spending a paint job on that 94, It's about time for you to get a 00+ rich boy.

 

This Civic was painted with real paint not rattle can. If you read the post the guy said he worked at a bodyshop. He obviously has the hook up for paint. I have a friend that does this. He takes a lot of left over paint from the shop and paints cars on the side at his house and makes a huge profit.

 

Mentally challenged I guess? Im sorry for even arguing with you I didnt know

 

Lol, whatever dude i'm done arguing with a child on my thread.
