Post pics of cars you have painted
We all like to show off sometimes, so heres your chance. post pictures of cars or parts that you have painted. Dont forget to write a little info, ie color code or the name of the color you sprayed, type of gun used, etc. ive seen a few sweet rattle can jobs floating around out there too so feel free to post those also. who knows you might learn a thing or two by posting in here...
I will start. I Did this for JTP (hope you dont mind me whoring out your car) a couple of years ago before his superstar status.
i brightened the pic a little, had to start it out good!
if you look at the car on the lift its hyperteks before it was hyperteks.
and the before shot.
the paint is scion xb green. it was shot with a sata digital 2.

I have shot 3 convertibles, no pictures of them in this computer, but I have some of my own that I also sprayed.
my car, paint is 10 years old but pictures are from the end of this summer.
DuPont single stage custom mixed Imron over DuPont URO prime, shot with a DeVilbiss GTi with a millenium 2000 prototype test cap.
I really dont have any during photos in the computer, they are actually on 35mm and I would have to scan them. Could not afford a digital camera back then!
I know the bumper does not match in some of these pics, I borrowed it from my TII coupe as it was already cut for a FMIC, this winter the car gets its full S5 conversion treatment so I will paint it all then. Original paint in jambs and underhood as well.
Teknics car, DuPont Hot Hues Lemon Glow with DuPont Imron 500S clear, over DuPont URO prime. Shot with a DeVilbiss GFG 670PLUS gun.
Hood is propped open in the painted shots- latch was missing when I painted the car so it would not stay shut.

actually as far as i know the paint on your car is oem. i think it was just scuffed. the last time i saw it it still belonged to justin and it looked like it was scuffed, i was supposed to paint that car too but plans changed and people got busy, so it never happened.

Great work Rob. You must be a pro, you have too much knowledge to be a on the side kinda guy. The black still looks amazing, ive only heard stories about how tough imron is, being in california they outlawed that stuff years ago lol.

Not all of ca is water born, but its going that direction fast. water based crap requires driers or long waiting periods. you cant spray over it while its still wet! i have seen some sweet water based jobs, but i am afraid of the late 80s early 90s peeling paint that gm was cursed with.... water based.

^what my FC looked like when I bought it a few years ago.
^sanded down the shitty primer job to find lots of black sharpie all over the car, as well as even shittier body work on the passenger side. Still yet to fix that but sanded and prepped the car for paint.
^Shot the entire car in Krylon. 8-12 cans of rattle can krylon primer followed by 8-12 cans of Krylon Satin Black rattle can. Only the primer got a wet sand, final 2 coats of color applied within an hour of each other and with no wetsanding. Fenders/hood/bumpers all being replaced so wasnt too concerned with how they turned out.

the first pic the clear was faded, But as Hypertek always wets his car down b4 a pic.... water does wonders... and some chips on the drivers door.
I'm going to do 95% of the body work my self, and I'll take it to a shop, for the real paint job.
But I'm going to wet sand and putting some Gloss, or some Safety Zone Orange...

heres another one of mine. i did this for Tim Allen (yes the tool man).
its penskee sp? yellow and mercedes benz silver. I had to paint it totally assembled. it was a pain, we couldnt flip it because it was to heavy for the stand the dang thing would act like it was going to flip if you rotated it! 100% cast iron block and heads!
its a 426 hemi bored and stroked to 490. 663 hp 673tq on pump gas!
heres a link to it on the Dyno

This truck is insane. The ITBs were 11k alone. I dont even want to know how much the truck cost. Once again it was sprayed with the sata digital 2.

Its a late model dirt car, the one I am racing next year. GTR chassis, quick change rear, so on so on. I have a thread started for its build up in the general auto section I need to update it. I really wanted to make a plastic FD front bumper to put on it but I dont know if time will let me. If not then its gonna look like all the rest either a monte carlo or GTO front end.
