because fan boys on here charge like $400 for OEM S5 bumpers lol i'm sure S5 TII sides, and front lip are like $1k.... this places pricing on things is unbelievable. my friend sold front black S5 carpet for like $250-$350 once...

 

^This. Even on ebay. It's like 400 for OEM skirts.

 

This thread really makes me wanna get started on my build, i'm so over the whole stock body thing!

^^ ey, chance. why'd you get banned? and welcome back

 

Banned???? What u do??

 

I was just wondering so I don't get banned for like cursing too much or posting a picture of a hot asian girl or something.

 

Any one else have large flake? Where do you buy your paints? What brands do you use?

 

With flake the 1/64th is pretty big. U need a 1.8 diameter tip and needle to flow that out.

Ive always used House of Kolor flakes.

The trick with flake is to use it with a similar color base coat. Or put the flake on black


I like the ultra mini silver flake

 

Alrighty, well I just wanted to say that I'll most likely never paint again. It's just something that i'm not patient enough to do. I get impatient and end up spraying too soon or skipping a tiny area I really should clean etc.. But anyways I used some self etching primer from a spray can, a silver metallic base, a super vibrant hot pink, and an acrylic clear. Total cost was about 150 bucks...not including the self etching primer i'd had for a while now. Here are the paint labels from my local shop...which may I add are Very helpful when it comes to knowing what i'll need.

Color

Pink

Silver

First I got it as clean as my patience would allow

Masked off

Primer

Silver

Pink

Clear and finished!!


There are definitely some runs...and definitely some really light spots..but for what I paid...i'm damn happy. The acrylic clear is hardening by the day...so it won't be long before I install the motor. It crinkled in a few areas as well but you'll never see those areas because the motor. Anyways.. Enjoy guys!

 

first rattle can paint job i did on the engine bay. needed paint because of rust and brake master cylinder leaked all over the place. rustoleum brilliant blue kinda like the same color as painters tape ended up being really shitty since it chipped like crazy.


new current paint since the other stuff chipped i sanded as much as i could made the surface as perfect as i could. this time i got a little more involved with it and did a better job. rustoleum cobalt blue metallic followed by blue metalcast and finished off with a solid coat of clear auto enamel. i did the same paint on my pulleys as well





the pictures really dont do it justice in person you can see the metallic much better, etc.

 

Am I the only person that says this post is on page 19 but claims there are 23?

 

not alone bro. I see the same thing
