If you watched the build on this car, a lot of time went into it. So even if Eyger got his materials for cost or even pennies, there was a lot of time spent on this build. Very impressive. Also the name Eyger, where does this name originate from? I would say HU, but i could be wrong.

Default Re: I think we need a post your DIY paint job thread

let's see

from this





to this



paint is a 2K RAL color from PPG, build time +/- 2 months

then after 2 years









Paint 1K base coat from Dupont with 2K clearcoat. Car was actually painted completely in the dupont paint and clearcoat. But because I wasn't happy with the result, I sanded it down again with a P1200 wet and repainted it again. Build time 6 months. Final paint was done in a professional paint booth. I don't understand how you guys keep dust out of the paint when painting in your garage.
