- Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:49 pm #240774 This is a separate question related to spray painting a car

Would metallic colors swirl if not even and too thick?

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

I couldn't find a build thread of your car... do you have one? I'd like to see the transition from that to where it is now

nah i never got around to making a build thread... one day... the cars come quite a ways in 15 months

Anyway - OP have you googled the 50$ paint job? Nicer finish and might even be cheaper than a dozen cans of fcuking spray paint.

i did my car last summer, used 20-30 cans of spray paint, came out alright, as long as u know the steps right, and just remember, the prep work is very important.

- Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:27 pm #241659 I'll hopefully be starting the same project soon. I need to replace my bumpers and fill in the rust around the rear wheel wells first or I might hit those with paint prior after I get some of the rust off atleast until I can pick up a welder. at that point I'll be starting project #2 that teal already did a write up on I love this site
