We had to roll my friends car into the garage to do some work so we rolled mine into the driveway so I decided to snap off a few pics.
Doesn't look all that bad, does it?

 

Yeah doesn't look too bad, especially for that overnight rattle-can paint job how come you didn't paint the part next to the windsheild though?

 

That required a little bit of masking, which I was too lazy to do.

 

Here is a better shot of the engine bay,

 

is the car actually painted with spray paint? hmmm doesnt look as bad as i thought ....

 

The body is spray paint, then engine bay is POR-15.
Here is the pass side,

 

that doesnt lok bad at all for spray paint...well its dull not shiny but it works...are you keeping it like that or are you going to go get an actual paint job?

 

Eventually I'll have a real shiney black paint job on the car, but I may try a nice flat black look.
The pictures actually make it look really good, it's actually crappy in person. Some of the maroon shows through on the sides, which I didn't notice when I was spray painting since it was about 3am and quite dark outside.

This is what the car looked like a couple of years ago before I started to mod it,

 

doesnt look all that bad.

 

Go with black primer. That way you can just roll her on into the paint shop.

 

well it actually got me thinking about just doing a cheap paint job with spray paint...i got like a 4 different color camaro im driving around in and i wont have any money anytime soon to get a paint job. what kinda paint did you use? i know i have to sand down my car and then spray some primer on but i heard that you have to use a certain kind of primer and paint..

 

I just grabbed some black spray paint off of my shelf and painted the car.
The cans said General Purpose Spray Paint and there were 2.5 cans there. I am not sure what kind of paint is really good, still need to research it myself. I just didn't like the car being multi-colored,

 

yeah i wish i had pics of mine but my car has a black front clip and drivers door,gold gfx,primer grey hood,and the rest is red but faded to pink in most spots.....did you just paint over the old paint with out sanding?

 

Ya, I just sprayed right on top of the maroon.

 

Looks good, I kninda like the dull black look to it, but it'll probably look even better with some shiny black paint
I liked your old WS6 rims better then the OZ monte's though, What year were those off of?

 

The WS6's came off a 97 WS6 Trans Am.
I wish the WS6 wheels had an 11" size, since that is what I want on the back of the car.
I'll probably end up with some ZR1 or Grand Sport wheels when my car is totally finished.

 

Grand Sports would look sweet!

 

Yes they do,

 

Wow, she's really coming together. Very nice! Can't wait to see some vids of her on the road!!

 

lol it was painted at 3 am. Not bad for a rattle can job! Once again I love those OZ wheels.

 

Looks damn good for spray paint. What did the OZs cost you, I was looking into a set before I bought my Snypers.

 

thats pretty much what i did, cept i sanded down my car, and primerd grey, so she'll all prep'd and ready, since i'm so 100% into looks, i just want it lookin mean and decent, i was prolly just gonna rattle can it, or i was just gonna goto the paint shop and get a dark charcoal paint job, heres a few pics of her now

This is an idea of how shes gonna look, i already have these rims, just polishing them up, got the clear coat off and sanding right now

 

Nice car ready-kit stranger.:hail: ya vixen will be all ready to flow

 

My brother bought the OZ's from a friend that needed some cash for $200. I traded my WS6 wheels with my brother for them since I am a nice guy and he didn't have money for tires and my WS6 wheels had brand new tires on them.

 

personnaly i would rather the ws6 wheels rather than the OZ, but yer reason is understandable

 

yeah I thought you had them before, but you traded them for something.......Why???

 

A friend of mine owns them and he brought over the rears so I could test fit them. I need to get a large hammer for them to fit right and remove or relocate the rear bumpstops.
The GS wheels are what I really want. I am traying to find someone that wants to do a straight swap for my OZ's.

 

I like that hood with thouse GFX, and i even have grown to like the z28 GFX on the sides....

But damn, i just cant get to liking those wheels on that car.

I thought it looked much better with the ws6 wheels.

 

The spray paint and the all primer method doesn't look all that bad, just kind of dull. I am kind of in a similar situation. I want to get rid of some rust on my car, but I would have primer spots all over my car.

I can't afford to have a paint job, not to mention body work done right now. I think Zepher's solution seems reasonable.




SydwayzTA 86 and Zepher,

How does the paint hold up to rain, moisture, and heat?

 

The paint seems to be holding up pretty well. It's now stored in the garage while I work on it.
Did I ever mention how small my garage is?
Here is the garage,


This is where my car has to sit when I close the garage door,

 

Honestly, I vote you have the most dirty garage at thirdgen.org

 

Accualy holds up real well, and i live maybe a 1 minute walk from the beach, holds up through the rain, salt in the air, just gotta take care of it is all, will hold up even better with paint over the primer

 

Ya, I live across the street from the beach as well and my funky paint job is still good.

 

hehe well that funky paintjob accually imo looks pretty good, i like it

 

wet sand it with 2K grit paper, buff it with 3m perfect it III on a cotton wheel, use 3m foam pad polishing glaze with a foam pad and u just might be surprised. hahahhaha, oh yeah and a coat of wax

 

you saying do that to some rattlecan paint ? hows it look after all that

 

Looks real good for spray paint, and the grandsports look sweet.

 

Where are your headlight bezels?

 

i'm in the middle of restoring the car, it was a total pos at first, like 3 differ colors, body parts missing, i got them in my garage, just gotta put them on

 

you'll take that back if i snap a pic of our garage. it's a 2 car garage, it doesn't have any cars in it, yet you can still barely walk in it.

 

ya i like my formula, its genral purpose flat black primer.
