its primered, almost done
the car is all primed, wheel wells all refinished in black, and engine bay primed. All the kit parts are primed as well and ready to be reattached and the whole car sprayed. Its a little weird running your hand across it, the whole thing is smooth as hell, not a ding or ripple on it. Its like brand new again.

and another

that looks nice.....would u do mine as well?...i'll gladly drive over a few cases of beer if u'd like
|
what part of upstate are you in? I'm always in the South New Berlin area...let me know.
|
hey man...i work at a body shop and just wanted to tell you that if you ran your hand over the car DO NOT PAINT IT YET!!! you need to spray some degreaser on it first and wipe the whole thing down good... there are lots of oils in your hand and they will cause the paint to run or fuck up... just in case you didnt know.. btw the tape job and the priming look awesome... do you paint alot or is this your first time?
|
my bad, should have been more clear. It's getting done professionally, I wish I could do it that well. I was thinking about it but decided I want this so be absolutely mint so I let a pro take care of it. Thanks for the advice, I'm sure he'll clean the whole thing up again before it goes in the booth.
Oh, and im in Ithaca. Where is South New Berlin? |
I'm guessing he'll spray a guide coat on it and then sand it one more time to get rid of any imperfections you were previously unable to see.
Looking good though. |
South New Berlin is just east of Binghamton going towards Utica..

Originally posted by Speed_Machine Umm, running your hand over it shouldnt make a single bit of difference. Especially, since theyll probably sand the primer surface with a fine grain anyways. Umm, spraying degreaser on primer will leave you with very bad results. That is going to be a very nice, smooth FC when finished. Nice job. |
I'm in upstate NY, where did you get it painted and how much $$? I can't wait to see the final result!
|
its gonna be Nissan Daytona Blue Metallic
Im having it done by John...forgot his last name. He has a shop in Fayette and does some of the ebst work ive seen. Total cost for bodywork, bodykit, and finishing is around 5g's. |
damn.....that's bank man...........post the finished results
|
Thats smooth as hell man, What methods did you use for prep work and painting? What tools did you use? Im really curious because im about to do the same thing, but i need to do some research. lemme kno
