i thought about painting my ej8 with this method.. just recently replaced my bumper and sprayed it with rattle can black enamel.. it's hard to even notice it compared to the stock paint job, even though it's granada black

Re: 50 buck paint job (questions)
that avitar is ------ classic
use Interlux Brightside paint.. it holds up very well, has self leveling properties, and has a great shine that lasts
you can get it at any Yacht store or boating store.. even hardware stores with a fishing or marine area would have it
DO NOT use scentless mineral spirits... use regular old mineral spirits. and so you dont look stupid when you ask for it, its basicly the same thing as paint thinner but a bit weaker
get like 3 quarts it should be more than enough because you thin it quite a bit

Re: 50 buck paint job (questions)
here's the best 50$ paint job i have ever seen.......
http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html
however, i have a real hard time believeing it came out that nice, without more being included. there is definitely some not cheap polish compound on there. its too bad the pics arent really all that close up to see how good or bad it really looks, but if most of it is true you can have it turn out fairly decent
