Extremely low budget paint job (pics)

Okay, heres my86z28 after the flat black paint job, I painted a few things gloss black to break up the flat black a little (headlight pockets,gran sport stripe, door handles, key holes) It's not 100% finished, Still need to paint the grill gloss black and put it back on, not the best pics but I'll have more tomorrow when it's done.

Not bad, flat black looks evil. Nice shinny wheels to boot! What did it look like before?

Re: Extremely low budget paint job (pics)

When I got the car, it was silver but really dull, clear coat cracked and pretty rough looking. I sanded all that off and primed it with spray cans, then it sat for awhile, I just recently started working on it again, pretty happy with how it turned out. I think it looks real mean, the car just looks pissed off.

Re: Extremely low budget paint job (pics)

It looks way better than the Glidden paint job that your title conjured images of!

A friend locally did his truck in flat black out of spray cans, and it looked halfway decent until he parked next to a truck that was done "professionally" with a spray gun. The difference is clearly noticable.
