a friend from the SW board asked me to paint his car,heres a couple pics. its black w/ ablue pearl..

 

n here.

 

sweet I like the black and blue combo

 

hey once i get my engine done and installed would you like to paint my car?

 

as long as youd like to pay me,lol.

 

Hey where abouts are you located, have been looking for someone to do a good quality job on my firebird. Let me know and maybe a price you been charging.

 

is that a run in the 2nd pic

 

how much for that exact paint job MORE pics plz i was looking for a paint like that...black until the sun hits it right then you see some blue exactly what i was looking for for my gta

plz post some more pics if you can

 

im in arizona, i dunno what that is in the second pic, i think its just sumthin from the camera, it looks ok,i did it in my agarage,so its still covered in overspray, once i wetsand it and buff it,itll look like galss.

 

it loox kinda bumpy from the overspray,once its wetsanded itll look sweet.

 

That pearl looks great post some pics after you wetsand it

 

i will,the guys picking it up later today,then next week we'll wetsand it and shoot another clear coat and call it good i think.

 

how much was all the paint and primer. Im going to let one of my friend paint my car and all i have to do is buy all the supplies.

 

bout 300 for cheaper stuff, 750 for ppg stuff

 

great job!

sorry its to much of a mirror and gave bad pix, I can hopefully take some outside in the next few days if anyone is interest in the color, I konw you guys might not like malibus

 

the pearl gives it a nice touch.

If you dont mind me asking, does the pearl just mix in with your existing paint? If so, do you know how much for just the pearl to mix in?

Nice car..

 

I'm shure there are a few ways to do it, such as in your clear as well, however my painter buddy put it in with the base coat on the last 3 layers of black. and put 1 oz in, they charged me 5 bucks that that LOL.


and for all my paint and stuff which I used which was the crappiest, made by PPG .....OMNI. its got an omni base, however I used a value pro for the clear, and omni epoxy primer, and then ummmm another good name brand of finishing primer


that epoxy primer by omni is VERY bad times

all and all, I think i probably put about 1200 dollars into this car, canadian. including a a proffesional spray dude in a booth.


but I did all the body work and prep. oh well major differance, very happy

 

ive got a question In both sets of pics the paint looks more blue than black

if i use less pearl like 1/2 an ounce will it turn out more like im wanting it

i want it to look jet black but when hit by direct sunlight you can see some blue peak at you...might do stripes or a checker flag scheme in the pearl and then leave the rest of the car jet black..just two ideas i have

 

with the car i did,you cant even see the pearl until sun hits it. im sure the car he did is the same way,pictures dont do the colors justice.

 

heres a another angle of the car

 

Looks great!

Post more pictures!

I have a 91 gta and I love that colour, let's see some more shots!

Thanks!

Good job!

 

he's right, its totally black out in the sun except at certain angles its blue, but only on part of the car, if your on the shaded side, yo ucant see ANY pearl, today was the first time I got it out in the sun, I was very pleased

cheers

This is the same treatment my bay will recieve later this month!

This is my Nissan's bay...straight out of the gun! No overspray or trash here, even though we painted it in the garage! Not easy though! I could not imagine shooting a whole car in those conditions! I'm not sure if dry spray, or running the paint is harder to fix!



No good close up shots, but here is my dash... done @ the same time...you can see it has quite the slick coat... (same as the bay) painted outside no buffing!





You would be amazed the fight we had with gun pressure & compressor condensation...have to get everything to vaporze just right! Joe did an awesome job on both!

I just hope RAIF's engine bay turns out as sweet!
