Ummmm...Spraypainting is easy? Like I've been probably a...25% contributor on the backyard respray of like...2 cars. First one was a camry. Slight colour change only half dismantled, second was a vn with an aero kit...Which is an ongoing project, but like...in my experience...Its not hard at all, its just extreeeemely time consuming.
Read all you can practice as much as you need and then just get into it...
With the right tools and a lot of patience a MINT paint job is totally achievable by... anyone with half a brain.
Let the haters hate, with their faded ass stock colours, too broke to pay someone to paint it too scared to try it themselves.
1. No-one said spraypainting isnt easy. It is - if you know what you are doing. Preparation is the hard part. Your 25% input in spraying 2 cars hardly makes you an expert though.
2. All I have been trying to do is point out to the OP that he knows less than he thinks he does, and he needs to accept that before he wastes his money messing it up.
Its not hard to do, there is a heap of info on this forum on what he needs to do. Hes been provided links and stuff, and a step by step of things he needs to do before he paints the car.
3. I am neither too broke to pay someone, nor am I scared to paint it myself. I choose to paint myself, because I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I am finished. In fact, I will happily place my paint next to anyone elses in the forum and be proud of the quality. And far from a faded ass stock colour, mine is a very nice custom pearl which you will never see on any other car.
Andrew has taken the attitude that we are all out to get him, which isnt the case. Commo may have made a few smartarse remarks, hey just ignore them if they bother you. That will happen in any thread you post on this forum, you have to learn to sort the wheat from the chaff. I get flamed daily, its not worth stressing over.
Andrew, read the threads that Ari666 posted, you will learn a lot. Then, if you are still unclear on anything, come back and ask specific, informed questions, and someone will give you an answer. If you are lucky, it will be Ari, he is a legend
You've already had an answer to your post in fact. You asked if the paint you provided the link for was a good choice, and not one person has said yes. Thats the answer to the question isnt it... no? Now, ask what kind of paint would be better, and some instructions on the best way to spray it. Its not rocket science. But first, read the links you have already been provided with.
If you do this, then you will eventually get a real nice paint job. If you just get peeved because you arent getting the answers you want, you either arent reading the answers properly, or you arent willing to accept any advice. You came in asking for advice, no use doing that if you arent going to listen.
Good luck with your paint job, I mean that. If you need help, ask nicely, dont make out like you already know it all, and someone will help.
I'm done with this thread until something changes. Its going nowhere..
