So i am new to the site i come here a lot and read the fourms but i have waited to sight up tell i had somthing to post.Ok brake down so my brother picked up a 95 civic hatch the paint was ok but need to be painted.So he went down to krylon white. It looked good for about a year and then it turned yellow and started chip. so i talke him in to buying some paint and do it right so here it is.

befor paint about 3 mouths ago.

80 to take down the the spraypaint

180 to smooth it all out

some sainding blocks

body filler


toyota super white



so we really did not have the money to go buy a air compressor. so we have a 5 gal air compressor and pick up a 50 gal tank with out the compressor for $50.and so you use the small one to fill the 50gal cheap and worked really well.











so we had to take off the door becouse the shop was not very big





primer sprayed



That is all i have for now the is painted will have some more pic in a few weeks.

 

Looking good so far, props for using a compressor (albeit a small one.) I read a review and demoed an LVLP gun, used under 4cfm and sprayed really well. I can get you a name if you'd like. It's about 50$.

 

I am useing a hvlp that I pick up from the mac truck it worked grate and the air compresser never dropped under 85psi to the gun.But yeah i would love to know were to get one and try it out.

 

The grizzly H7667 (with a 1.5mm tip, the H7666 comes with a 1.3)
3 to 3.9cfm. And that's for real, it really ONLY uses that much. Just be careful with metallics, it is definitely the best gun for a little compressor (that is affordable).

Keep us updated. Those mac truck HVLPs are good but rather hungry. You must have painted by the panel to keep your pressure up. An overall eats air like crazy.

 

cool thanks i am going to have pick one up.yeah one area at time but it was not to bad the tank would jump back quick.

 

i wouldn't trust that bondo. there's way better product out there, you can get 3lbs of usc spot light for like 25 bucks.

 

its called spot usc?
where from?
TIA

 

yeah i know it was a jug that was laying around in my shop from someone.I will never use that sh$t again.but any ways i have some more pic from today.we got the doors and hood back on and off to be buffed and cleaned.
when it is all done cand clean i was take some better photos not off the cell phone.

 

sorry, spot light by usc

 

gracias, amigo! i was gonna use the same thing as the OP cuz i used to work at o'reilly auto parts and it was one of few we sold and, therefore, the only ones i was exposed to. didn't do the research on my own..

 

no prob. usc makes good fillers, i use them everyday

 

ok i am looking in to the spot light is this the stuff you are talking about.

 

yup

 

how they looks ..? or what ..

 

oohhh bad *** ..

 

well , the car looks way better ...

 

It did not turn out to bad for my first car that i painted.we are going out to take photos this weekend if it is nice.

 

Car came out good budd I used ppg on my car

 

yeah we were going to go with ppg but the price was the set back. my brother payed $130 for paint and primer.

 

Is that single stage paint or base clear?

 

This came out very good!

 

It is a single stage.

 

this is pretty good man
