Painted my Ef right in my driveway about 2 years ago. The hood blew open on the highway and smashed up my front end so thats why I re painted it. I want to give it a respray because when I wetsanded the paint, I didn't have a fine enough grit sandpaper, so it's not as shiney as I wanted it to be, but it's good enough until this springtime. It's lasted this long, lol |

Re:I want to see some homemadepaintjobs
as long as you build yourself a decent paintbooth, have larger size air compressor (you need a big one, not no ----- ----) a air dryer and filter, and a decent gun, all the rest is in the technique. you gotta be gangsta in your prep work aswell.

How many CFM's is your compressor at the proper PSI.

Re:I want to see some homemadepaintjobs
I've definatly been thinking about painting my own car. I've been spraying/masking interior/exterior houses for a long time. I know it's slightly different, but I think that will give me enough confidence to get it done.
Here's a pretty in depth write-up that I found a while back: http://www.thebugshop.org/bsfqpnt.htm The only things that I am going to have to research a little more is the mixing techniques, which brand will be best, and the psi vs flow ideal for the gun. Other than that I think I'll be ok. |
