[jeremy]

at least the color looks good

That price also includes sandpaper(which I'll have plenty left over), a can trigger(also may use again for asst projects eventually), and 1000 sqft of plastic dropcloth which I will FOR SURE use in the future, I only used about 200sqft.

I might have to come see this!

[GP1138]

I'm really interested to see the end result Lord Buckingdale. I admire your dedication!

[Night Fury]

Yeah, me too!

[white4d96]

Hm, seems a lot lighter than I remember. Mine was a darker metallic blue IIRC. Looks good though!

[Breakdown]

Buck,

 

 

I swear . . . if you do this right and make your car look all pro.

 

It will be the biggest single accomplishment for the betterment of all of our lives (everyone not just the W-body community) by a gay person . . . . ever.

 

. . . . no pressure though. Do your best.

 

So far, so good!!

[Rdrckt_92]

looks pretty good!

[Breakdown]

It's been nearly a week where in the FFFUUU have the updates been for this project??

 

I want pics!!! I'm very excited about seeing this.

[GOT2B GM]

wha haaappened

[Night Fury]

It's 'done'. I'm not super satisfied with the results, I would've had to get like 10 more cans of blue to make it not splotchy. Very hard to blend. Regardless, I got clear on it, and after a buffing it should look pretty darn decent. I'll buff tomorrow. I do have a few pics as it sits now, I'll post them in a half hour or so.

Well, I can't say it looks good, but at least it's all one color, more or less.

[white4d96]

I actually kinda like the effect. The color did darken up like I remembered it as well. Now if only I could paint mine that colour...

[Night Fury]

Expect to buy 10,874 cans!

[94 olds vert]

uhh...You should of took it to macco, but hey you live and learn.

 

That being said I like the colour it.

[GnatGoSplat]

Can you buy Rustoleum by the gallon? I've read on other forums that people have good results using this thing:

I've read the secret is to use more reducer than the paint calls for, because for some reason these turbine type HVLP setups need more reducer than air compressor+HVLP gun.

Looks about like I expected.

 

Looks like you started and stopped spraying while on top of the panel. Key to no blotches and dark spots it to have continuous, even spray the whole length. Start and stop before you even touch the panel and after you've passed the panel. Yes, you waste paint. But looks better.

[RobertISaar]

^^even with HVLP guns, that's the way to do it.

Its doesn't look bad by any means but I'm looking at it on a cell phone...

[j_mezz]

Metalics are tough to work with, solids you can just keep laying it on till it's uniform. Did you wind up using 7 cans of clear too? When I did my door I wanted to make sure I had enough on there that I could compound it down a little later on so I did 4 color + 4 clear.

[Breakdown]

I just noticed something.

 

Is that the actual colour of those rims, they look spray-bombed.

 

Plus, they shouldn't be that colour, on that car.

[GP1138]

I love it and wish it was cleared and smooth at the same time. The gold has to stay!!!

[RobertISaar]

that wheel + this paint color combo is teh secks.

[AL]

Those wheels were that color when I got them... I did nothing with them
