Here it is. Duplicolor T90 (M) black. Probably spent about 18 hours on the whole thing. It turned out better than i thought it would.
Let me know what y’all think. And yeah, i know the hood is kinda rice. but hey, it’s lighter than stock and vents hot air from the engine bay.
got any pictures of the whole car?..not to shabby tho how much money you spend on all the spray cans you used?
Did you clear it yet, or is that just paint?
If you have cleared it go get some 3M rubbing compound and hit it in a few days.
i posted a bunch more pics in general discussion under “my 92 gs”. I think it was around $150 for all the paint/sandpaper.
i have cleared it. the clear coat was the part i was least impressed with. thanks for the tip, though. i’ll definately try it out.
How many coats of clear did you use? When I did my trim I used like 4-5, but it was shiney after 3.
haha doesnt even look like you have used your trunk keyhole yet, its still perfectly coated.
Hey man i’d love to talk to you about how u painted it. I love the look, and considering it was with shaker cans is amazing. I have a few questions if u could post up ur email or mine is bobby62586@yahoo.com. i just have a few questions like what kinda brand of paint did u use, what kinda clear coat, how exactly did u prep it, and did u just start spraying the whole car or did u take it apart and spray each peice seperate. I would really appreciate it man. thanx
damn looks nice for a 150 dollar paint job. Hows the durability on that type of paint? did you just spray over your exsisting paint?
it was 2 layers clear coat, 1st was light, 2nd was heavier. I definately could have done more coats on the clear, but i had to get it out of the garage. i might go back and do another coat or two another time. i never use the trunk keyhole… it’ll probably stay coated. ha. email is IntegraPunk916@aol.com I’ll email you tomorrow while i’m at work and give you a good description of everything Carnage.
I don’t know how durable it is yet. It’s only been out twice since i’ve painted it. we’ll see what happens i guess. It’ll probably last longer on my car cuz i don’t drive it that often. pretty much a weekend/wanna relieve some stress from the daily grind kinda car. i did sand down the factory paint first. it was in black primer for like 9 months before i ever decided to paint it. it looked pretty ghetto- front/rear bumpers and roof were still factory black. Thanks for the compliments everyone. keep the opinions coming!
pretty sweet almost looks flat black…thats damn hardcore! i wanted to paint my front bumper by rattle cans (my DA is frost white) cause it looks like ass…all the paint is peeling off of it, the damn shit bag who painted it didnt even sand the bumper…i thought it would be a hard job but i guess with time, patience, and super thin coats, and lots of clear coat i can make it look nice…i also wanted to integrate my OEM lip on the bumper with fiber glass and i cut out the grill in the bumper hole and put in a nicer mesh grill…gonna try make it look skirt kit style…good idea or bad idea?
that sounds like a good idea to me,cuz that’s exactly what i wanna do to mine.but how do you cut out the bumper cover?i would think you’d just use a reciprocating saw.but how would you fasten the mest to the cover?
copycat!!! lol just kidding man…looks good. great minds think alike!!!
here is mine…i used dupont black base with dupont satin clear.
Bitchin. Nice work on the paint guys. I’ll probably start doin’ this when I prep for paint next year.
