Default Ghetto Paint Job

Im stuck with this ugly assed peeling-gold/**** yellow job on my mobile and I need something to cover it up quick
Not being good with a spraygun [eg. I dont have one] has anyone just bought shitloads of touch-up paint and sprayed the whole thing with that [would reek of ghetto style]

Dude, that is the ------- coolest avatar I have seen. Ever. Sure, that had nothing to do with anything - but hey!

Yeah, Ive seen the ones that were just done in primer and they look sick. How many cans do you think it would take to cover the whole car?

Primer, then $1.00 cans of Wal-Mart cheapo paint in the color of your choice.

Touch-up paint will be VERY expensive in the quantity needed to do the whole car.

I did the entire rear 1/4s of my crx using 2 cans of primer, 2 cans of paint and one of clear. It came out sort of sexy.

we did this ---- in high school. it was a -good from afar, far from good- paint job.

macco. 200 bucks. just tell them to sand and paint it. thats it. tell 'em you want the cheapest thing possible, also ask them if they have any screw-up colors. (mis-mixed paint) this would make it cheaper.

if you rattle can it your thumbs are gonna hurt like ---- for days. Im cheapo though so I say do it. my hatch took 12-14 cans, cant remember exactly.
flat colors are a lot easier as they dont run/drip like gloss/semi-gloss does.
