Default Painted the EF.

I posted this car before and everyone seemed to like it so i thought i would post it after we painted it. Last Thursday we went to Wal-Mart and got Camo paint "Olive Drab". This car is not ment to look good and some of you know this. Feel free to leave comments. Maybe this time posting i can get a mod list.

looked better before, the new spray paint could have been better if you couldnt tell that it had been spray painted, like less lines and stuff. But if you like it thats all that matters

Would look 1000 times better if it was a solid green, instead of all blotchy, like that.
What brand paint did you use?

"Krylon Camouflage Paint system" It's ultra-flat. A touch up day is coming soon so we can get all the lines out. Thanks for all the comments and it is rather quick.

Kryon camo paint is kinda weird like that.
For some reason the tone of the paint will change from stroke to stroke.

You should try rustoleum. They also have a camo sceme. I havent used the green, but I've used the tan and brown and it seemed to come out a little more consistant for me.

Also, use nice even strokes. You can see in that third pic how you basically scribbled with the paint on the roof. Nice long, even strokes will make it look alot better, from my experience.

that just looks bad, even for a rattlecan job. here are some hints
1. put all the cans in a warm water prior to spraying
2. paint an individual panel at a time
3. Go slow, thin and even strokes.

It could defintily look a whole lot better than that

but its turbo

get yourself one of those guns that clip onto the spray can makes it a million times easier, i used green aluminum primer from the uap store it was like 10 bux a can took about 10 cans

If you look at the pictures of it when it was red it was actually starting to fade to pink. So in other words he spent about $10 to make it look 100% better. He loves it. I love it. The pictures dont really do it justice so if you get a chance to drive around GA check it out.
