For some reason i just don't like white cars... i dont know why,:unsure:

I have had experience painting over red...
it was not fun... every coat bleed red... so if i decide on another colour later when it gets done later, that will be a bit**

silver is a possibility but i don't remember seeing many around... any1 got any pics of silver vh's?

wont last long at all.....
you will be bubbling rust soon because of the bare metal left

you cant expect a good job if you doing half assed prep]


black wont look crap if done out doors
who ever said that dont know much about painting

all colours are the same when painting,
its all down to many factors

air supply - water possibly in the lines
gun set up - too much pressure not enoughm feed or vise versa
your spraying technique - how you hold the gun speed, angle, over lap
prep - which you are lacking, how well sanded, no parts misssed, cleaning of it
area painting - sealed off area with no wind, no dust, too damp, possiblity of raining on etc'
products - choose correct and mix correct and you shouldnt have many probs, but dont go mixing 2pac with acrylic or priming with one and colour with the other



you want a good job it seems but you want to do it cheap, nasty and the lazy way
if you want a good job your going to have to start again and plan it
because your more then likly only going to get a spray can effect currently

I havent got the car yet...
i will go over and finish the prep when it gets here.

I haven't got the space to paint it in shelter so i was looking to see how it will look being painted outside
(i have painted cars in a booth before with acrilyc and they turned out good)
but never painted out doors...

any tips for painting out doors was the question i asked and the car will more than likely be resprayed when i have more time and space so i don't want to spend heaps on it this time but i want it to look good...

a non windy day... hot 4 sure and no rain.. do more then a few coats over a few days... youll probley find it easier to breath outside then inside.. arylic is the way to go for cheap next is enamel.. my bros going with black im intrested to see what it turns out like, im doing red with mine as ive done it before on my vc, but im doing more coats this time around, you learn more from the firsttime.

wit the spray gun, use the one with the canister on the bottom for the sides and the one with the one on top for the roof bonnet boot ...

Have you considered one of the fold up car/shed tent type things from Supercheap? Would make a pretty good back yard booth, stopping wind, a lot of dust, aswell as birds etc.

I wouldnt bother with a syphon fed gun, stick with a gravity fed gun for the whole job.
