Before:

After:

There was much masking

After the first coat we ran out of Rustoleum and all the local stores were out so we switched to Krylon which has *GARBAGE* coverage in comparison. It sprays on translucent. Bizarre.

Better pictures and some finishing touches coming later.

Did you use primer or just spray it over the bodywork like I think you did

Ah, painting a car with rattle cans. My finger cramps just thinking about it!

Looks pretty good, really.

Once I decide to finally do a drift car I wouldn’t mind trying to spray bomb it.

Those help but I’ve still found my hand getting very tired after a couple hours with one. These days I much prefer to buy a gallon of rustoleum in a can and use a harbor freight HVLP gun if at all possible for a large lousy paint job.

You should maybe see a therapist about that particular fixation.

That’s pretty good...but nowhere near as good as that sweet Nov-...Mazda???

What the hell, Jake’s neighbor. I thought you were cool. But you’ve lost your edge. You sold out The Man. I don’t even know who you are anymore, Jake’s neighbor. Where did you go so wrong...

Nope. Nor do I have a compressor.

Gotta re paint them headlight buckets black though.

I’d have to say that at rough estimate it looks a god damn million times better than it did when you bought it.

Frenchlicker > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To
02/27/2017 at 08:04

That’s probably actually cheaper.

I want to see someone paint a car with the shitty harbor freight electric sprayer. I say do that.

Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To > Frenchlicker
02/27/2017 at 10:08

I considered getting one. Those electric house sprayer things? Yeaaaah. You aren’t supposed to use oil-based paint with them though so I’m not sure what I’d use with it.

Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To > That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms
02/27/2017 at 10:09

I honestly kinda like the white headlight bukkits. Looks less like a panda.

That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To
02/27/2017 at 10:37

That’s actually a solid point. It would look hella panda with them black.

Go old school, latex house paint on your car.

Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To > Frenchlicker
02/27/2017 at 11:30

Honestly, would that be the worst idea? If you want a matte paint job that stuff goes on even and is super cheap and appears to be durable as hell given how houses aren’t faded cracking monstrosities after three years.

It wouldn’t be as smooth as car paint but I’ve seen it done and it looks OK. But hell if you don’t care about the car don’t care about the look too much it doesn’t really matter
