Default 70$ paint job! (7 cans of primer and lots of time at work....)*Pics*

So what happens when your sick of lookin at your dull white car with scratches all over?? you get creative and daring... I figured I would try it on the hood and it looked good no streaks, so i did the whole car. took 2 hours to water sand the whole car, then another two to tape it, and one hour of careful finger crampin can shooting i had a brand new car with not a spot o rust on it

That actually looks pretty damn good. Wanna paint mine? lol

I've been putting of a paint job for a few years now. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get it done. Nice to see that a "decent" paint job doesn't have to cost a mint.

actually a few of my buddies have asked me to paint their cars too, but it takes a while, and any one with half a sense on how to use a spray can can do it them selves! im just going to keep it like this for winter cuz the fkin roads in quebec are dooooggg ----.
