---- NA, should be boosted first weekend of october if i get everything in time thats suposed to be here. i paint cars thats y its primered, dont have time with school and work, should finish it soon thow.

Re: Primered cars???
 

Umm, primer acts like a sponge when it is wet with water, it absorbs it and in the end you get rust spots. the point of paint is to protect the cars exterior shell, not only to look good.

but I guess if you live where it dosnt snow and where they dont use salt, then it shouldnt be too bad. but I'd at least clear coat the primer.

Re: Primered cars???
 

Dont want rust? Thats why you use Tremclad rust paint...

Re: Primered cars???
 

ha. some people around here use flat back as a final color. hot rod black they call it. i see it on accords alot. and u can buy spray can clear coat to. it'll help with the rust issue.

bondo is the same way it absorbs water and ends up in rust. thats why u primer over it ;)

Re: Primered cars???
 

The primer is only to fill in all the small scratches and imperfections, its basically Bondo in a can if you think about it, thats why you paint over it ;) Dont be telling me how body work works, youve got alot to learn :P I've been doing it for a long long time since I got my EF years ago. The car you see above, I made thoes 1/4 pannels and welded them in. biggest achievment for me since my first HMT setup 3 years ago.

Re: Primered cars???
 

cool. i went to classes for about 4 years on it. worked in the ford body shop and worked for a custom car shop moldin body kits and paintin cars. base, clear, single stage, graphics. what ever u name :). but u never know u might know more then me. i hated it with a passion thats y i don't so it anymore. plus i did body work on my last car for about 3 years straight before i finally painted it. then 2 days after it got painted someone offered cash for it and i took it. but not as much as was put into it so now. no more body work for me lol

Re: Primered cars???
 

i think it looks mean sometimes,especially when its open dp or header,u never know what they got!

Re: Primered cars???
 

Flat black paint, not actually primer, love it, had the body done on my 93 si, ran out of funds for the paint, flat black it is, looks sinister, people ask me when im gonna paint it, teh answer is im not, it gets dirty, dont care, scratched, dont care, i can find a million things better to do with the money required to get it actually painted right....car was free, i spent 400 on body, got free 16' bsa wheels with ectsa's from some parts car my uncle bought, springs from one of teh guys at the honda dealer that my dealer owns, spare d16z6 and tranny from the kid that works for me after his gsr swap. Yep, cheap ---- rules....which explains why this is my favorite place to be H.M.T kills......

Re: Primered cars???

Re: Primered cars???
 

Yah, i keep seeing pics of this thing, just wanna say, love it....that thing is hard.....urban camo kills.....

Re: Primered cars???
 

thanks O0

Re: Primered cars???
 

yeah urban camo is sick but it can only be done on the right car. in my town there is a wrangler tha has the green black and brown camo but not as good. but when i decide that red really sucks bring on the grey prime cuz who cares anyway

Re: Primered cars???
 

my car is getting painted sunday so its primered gray i hate it .

Re: Primered cars???
 

I just bought a fiberglass R/T hood for the Challenger, and i was driving that around while rocking the grey gel coat

Attachment 37602

but i took care of that this evening with the ol' rattle can!! Got tired of the miss matched colors, it was looking like Playskools' my first hot rod

Re: Primered cars???
 

that makes me wanna steal my old mans spare challenger, its a 73 with front and rear 70 r/t clips, gotta a nice lil 383 sitting in it begging for the twins.

Re: Primered cars???
 

Thanks, I'd like to see some pics of your ol' man's ride, pm me some pics if you get a chance! I was going to go the twin chrysler turbo route like johnny, but i decided I liked the simplicity of a single turbo set up, so I fabbed up a single turbo manifold for this one, its only got a 318 in it, but it has a few of the cop car mods done to it. Right now I'm looking at a t70 or t66 turbo, but not really sure if this is the right turbo to go with. Not making a drag car, I want it to be streetable... but still HMT respectable! any thoughts?

Re: Primered cars???
 

I drive a primered Civic.---- paint.I actually get more respect from the local muscle car guys because my car is primered.I wouldn't drive a primered Civic if it was NA or slow though.

Re: Primered cars???
 

If people knew what kind of work it takes to get all that black primer ---- off when you actually decide to do a real paint job, they wouldn't ever do it.

Re: Primered cars???
 

Like the olive branches on the volvo

Re: Primered cars???
 

i've been drivin around w/ a primered hood forever now. i'm so damn lazy i havn't gotten it painted. what should i expect to pay at macco or some other shop just to have the hood sprayed?

Re: Primered cars???
 

word. O0

Re: Primered cars???
 

if ur buying a car for cheap and u dont have alot of money for looks i dont see a problem with making it flat black or grey or white basic colors always look descent as long as the car is strait

Re: Primered cars???
 

I've been thinking about this for the hatch but not sure if I can go through with it. Gotta fix the cancer on it but since it's just my beater/daily driver it's just gonna get a tub full of bondo or some fiberglass to fill in the holes! lol.

Re: Primered cars???
 

Yah, i got half a bodyjob done on my 93 coupe, now when it rains teh trunk fills with water from the hole at teh pass wheel well area....sucks ass.....still looks killer in flat black tho...

Re: Primered cars???
 

My rear quarters are primered because I haven't had money to re-paint the car after I filled the rust holes. Oh well. O0

Re: Primered cars???
 

Yah well im gonna end up driving mine this winter, should be good and fucked up in the spring, wonder how the primer and rust will fair in the salt......

Re: Primered cars???
 

i had a friend with a primered na civic, 1.5L runnin around a 14.5 evo 8 widebody kit, no interior, P.I.M.P.

Re: Primered cars???
 

Sounds like that blue wreck that was on e-bay, wide wide ass body, homemade, and stock 1.5, auto no less....race ------- car....

Re: Primered cars???
 

You would paint over the primer. It is a basecoat, a foundation for color and clear for a two stage job, or just color for a single stage job. Why would you remove it?? ???

Re: Primered cars???
 

Because most of these guys are flat black primering the car without the proper body work which needs to go under it and right on top of the existing paint, so all that has to come right back off.

Re: Primered cars???
 

a lot of people dont even sand or some times even wash the car
it ends up looking like ----

Re: Primered cars???
 

here in yellow springs people only drive like volvos and saabs, and there all hippys. thats hot ---- 8) somthing id expect to see around here.
