nice work on the painting man. I like sherwin williams, dupont and nason, I never used ppg, omni or shop line. Alot better than a dupli color paint job. To me those dupli color paint jobs look like shitty single stage paint job or a rattle can paint job in a gun.....

EDacIouSX · 06-16-2008, 02:58 AM

man your interior came out super nice.

waterboy · 06-16-2008, 06:26 AM

ok after seeing the sunkist86 im just gonna buy the real stuff
the 86 looks like spray paint sorry dude

whats a good website for paint supplys

gsracer · 06-16-2008, 07:35 AM

just open the phone book and look for body shop paint supply. Find something local, they can help you better with questions and advice.

dori_sil8t · 06-16-2008, 08:14 AM

the dupli colour system ... the problems i've had, it chips easy, needs tons of prep and wet sanding.

primer

basecoat clearcoat

practicing on a spare zenki fender

when i wrecked my quarter panel into my dads boat , came out all right way better than before anyway

painted yuca's regamasters

painted my works

painted this bumper, side skirts and rear valences

And my latest project just finished this on saturday

sanded

painted base coat 4 layers of clear

Again, Ive been doing this in my backyard for two and a half years, with no experience what so ever save what i read on the internet. Using a 30 gallon air compressor, and a 20 dollar harbor freight paint gun. The key is in the prep and you can paint it in a hurricane. Heres my 20 dollar harbor freight special. Thanks harbor frieght lol

^^Damn thats a really good job.. i like t he quality of DuPont and 4th Dimension ... Woo HOo on the Harbor Freight Gun .. I own ONE too!! haha! Harbor Freight is sometimes the best cheapest place for a man on a budget.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 06-16-2008, 06:56 PM

Nice work, as always gsracer.

I've said it so many times before, and I'll say it again.

BUY YOUR OWN DAMN SET UP.

Spray your car for under $1,000 using REAL shit that shops use, and you end up with a compressor, spray gun, sander, and a TON of other shit.

Trial and error, obviously.

Once you have that shit on lock down, spray your buddies cars.

Start spraying cars for neighbors, relatives, friends, anybody.

Turn that $1,000 investment into profit.

Turned this:

Process:

Into this:

Last picture was taken when the car was dusty as hell from sitting in the garage.

But, you get the point.

That was the first car I ever sprayed.

Now, I'm spraying my current shell, a few friends cars, and my own next month.

If you wanna first try it out, borrow a compressor and buy a cheap gun from Harbor Freight.

If you like it, buy a real set up and turn it into a profit.

gregfarz78 · 06-16-2008, 07:08 PM

damn I was a little hesitant about buying a harbor freight gun but I'm sold now shit for $20 its worth a try before going out and dropping $200+ on a devilblis...your interior came out real nice

***CrimsonRockett*** · 06-16-2008, 07:12 PM

Here's the gun I'm using.

$100, but I have a hook up at Lowes.

So, it was free.

*mothon* · 06-17-2008, 12:48 AM

I recentley painted my car with the duplicolor paint shop system. I still havnt wetsanded it yet it should look 10x better after i do. This was my first time ever doing any kind of body work. I wouldnt recommend this paint for anything other than a beater or track car, for just a little more money you can get much better paint.

Pros:
No mixing
easy to spray
easy to touch up or repaint
fairly cheap

Cons:
This stuff is super thin, expect to use about 5 quarts of each step.
the laquer doesnt seem to be very durable.
limited color selection

HyperTek · 06-17-2008, 12:54 AM

but man that flat silver looks pretty ill like that
dammm time to look for some flat silver metalic if anyone makes it, looks fucking aggressive

Ya i need to get some pics in good sunlight....this paint is super metalic, its kinda crazy because there is so much metalic but the paint isnt shiney.

dori_sil8t · 06-17-2008, 08:08 PM

here's jet black.

Addicted2Kouki · 06-17-2008, 08:20 PM

Crimson, you notice the streaks on the hood?

You can get rid of that next time you paint by even strokes and even height when spraying.

Try to spray half on, half off the surface.
Like.. start spraying half off the panel, then the next stroke overlaps halfway.

Takes a lil time and practice.

but I'm sure you;ll get it if you didnt get it by now.

Also, spraying another half coat in the opposite direction..
like... inside of up and down... side to side.

Silver is a hard color to spray evenly though, so I can't blame you.

the clear makes it all come together though

IMO... thats a shitty paint job and looks really dull for jet black

***CrimsonRockett*** · 06-17-2008, 08:24 PM

I know about the streaks.

When spraying it, I noticed it immediately, but didn't have much time to correct my error.

No biggie though.

The car is coming back to correct minor mistakes(the hood mainly) and other things that weren't done right.

Trial and error.
