so I'm hoping to paint my 7 sometime in the next few months. I'm looking at doing it 1 of 2 ways and want the opinions of those that have done it before. here is the 2 ways

way #1 http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web..._T|GRP2050____ regular 3 step paint. primer, paint, then clear

or

way #2 http://www.rickwrench.com/index79mas...llarpaint.html good ole rust-oleum enamel

so to those of you that have done it before which way do you recommend and ill be using a spray gun either way i do it

 

ftw

Thats where I got the paint for mine.
I just painted outside so mine could have been better.

 

I've used Rustoleum. And for the price, you would never guess that it was a cheap housepaint finish.

 

I was going to paint my old GTU with their paint. I didn't get the chance to use it though. I bought the paint, finished the prep work, then got screwed.

 

any clue how the black comes out looking?

 

you get what you pay for...

ive done my own paint jobs on my fc and the more money i spent the better it looked. just goes to show

do something custom, you can buy a few grams or ounces of pearls, chameleon pearls and flakes, etc... for $20 to $100 dollars

i used this stuff recently... not cheap tho!!!

I painted an S10 flat black about 4 years ago. And as long as you take car of it, the paint lasts. The last time I saw the truck, the paint looked exactly the same as it did when I painted it.

 

option #2 looks like the best bet if you dont want to invest money into an actual paint job.

I got lucky that i know people who work at body shops that let me use there equipment to paint some of my projects when they are closed.

 

I have the space and equipment. I just needed a quick paintjob for a car show, just needed it to look good for a weekend.

Come to find out, it makes for a tough and good looking job if you take care of it.
