Hi im getting my car repainted to Winning Blue Mica and wondering how much paint do i need to paint the whole car? Is two gallon good enough for a FC??? Oh yeah is 100 bux a gallon for paint a good deal?

Thank You,
Voeun

 

Are you gonna paint your own car?

 

Oh no I'm buying the paint and I'm getting a Vocational School to paint my car for me. I just need to get the stuffs to paint the car and they will paint it for free. Also, what else do i need for paint like thinner ect...?

 

get urethane primer w/ activator
one gallon of paint will do
get the activator for the paint to mix one gallon of paint
get a half gallon of clear coat
thats base coat/clear (2 stage job)
youll want 3-4 layers of primer, sand it down, prep it, spray the base, (blue) 3-4 layers, sand it down LIGHTLY, spray your clear, 4 layers, let it dry, wet sand the whole bitch down with 2000 grit, buff it out, it will look like show room quality..
all in all youll spend around 400$ for materials
PS. --single stage looks like *** (maco 200$ job)

black magic must be working at body shop, or he just knows alot. yea follow his step than you'll have show room quality

 

Thanx a lot black magic for the advice, but ill just buy thet materials and let the shop do the rest.

 

no problem, i know a lot about painting cars, ive done over 10 from my garage. Ill post back with a link of pics to some of the cars ive done. I am considering opening a body shop or starting something like that out of my garage.
I read in the 3rd gen forums about some guys FD that he just got back from the bodyshop. It received a full paintjob for $2,000 and according to what he said, they did a crappy job, and they didnt do the doorjambs,engine bay or trunk!!!! for 2 grand!! i charge 1500 for full job, door jambs, rear trunk, doors, hatch, and partial engine bay!
I take pride in more work, when i paint up someones car, i treat them like they are my own, LOTS OF TIME AND PATIENCE. painting can be tricky at times! When the car is all done, MIRROR finish, last year i sprayed my 7 XXX black, My GF can fix her hair in the reflection of my hood!!!

 

dang, sounds like u really care about others ride, ur'll make good business if you open a body shop. v-.-

 

No doubt, open up a shop of your own. Sounds like you know what your talking about.

 

Where are you located?

 

Im located just outside of chicago. ill get that link up of my other cars by this evening hopefully.
