Awesome job Steve, looks perfect, can't wait to see it in person. Alex, car looks great now, it's amazing what a little paint can do.

 

Lookin' Good!!!

Methinks someone's going to like their brrrand new caaar!

looks great. man 87tpi if were only closer to the bay area, i would let u paint my car

 

He's close enuff IMO... I mean whoever you get to paint your car isn't always going to be right next door to you

If you got a car that runs now (unlike myself) I'd drive it right on up there.

Damn that's a big list!You just may not get your car back .I must say there was a lot of tention in my garage till the stang got demoted to the driveway.

 

Whoa, that's quite the list!

Santa says you've been racin'

 

well i have maaco that is walking distance from my house. I acually seen their work and they do reall good jobs on them. They want to do my car for 1600 bucks, which includes stripping the car to bare metal and painting it a single stage with an extra coat of clear. They will also wetsand it. Plus my car isn't running right now. Damn ignition problem

 

Single stage is just an enamel with the shine in it already.The way to go is 2 stage,base/clear like I've been doing.It's stronger and lasts longer.

 

And that's exactly why my car is going to Steve as soon as I get it back on the road

 

steve what kind of paint do u use

 

Good ques.!

PPG? HOK?

Do you wet sand and buff as well?

Can't wait for those in the light pics of Alex's new ride!

 

On my t/a I used omni base and clear,it's an off brand of ppg.On Alex's I used omni base and ppg clear as it is stronger and doesn't fade over the years like omni clear.I never wetsanded my t/a because it looked good as it sat.I couldn't do the wet sand and buff on Alex's but will set up a day for me to go down for the day and do it at his place.I'm getting ready to do our 4runner a darker color red than my t/a was.The daylight pics will be better.It should be sunny tomorrow.

 

Steve, you do such a nice job. When I am ready for paint I will be contacting you for the job.

 

Thanks,It took awhile to get done but it was worth it,It makes the car look 100% better,not that it didn't look good before but the gfx and matching hood look sooo much better.

 

steve i know i contacted you before about painting my car, but i never could get it right on what i needed for paint. how much total would you want from me to paint my car and you buy the paint as well, i just tell you the color i want?

 

It depends,are you going red again,color change.door jams,engine bay.Paint for the full car,if you go with omni would be like 300-350.PPG whould be like 4-450.

 

i just want the outside painted. and the cheaper stuff. so like 300-350 for red again? and whatever you charge?

 

Here are a some daylight pictures.

 

Nice pics Steve, and the paint looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in person. You will be getting my business for sure.

 

I was just going through some paint pics of my t/a and figured I would repost some just cause it's so damn pretty.

 

THings of beauty. Nice work Steve.

Alex, is this the car you are going to sell? Say it isn't so!

 

Oh Alex... Now you are ready to show her off HERE.

I would like to get a group together for this. There is a Club award.

 

 

Lookin' sah-weet!

 

Nice job Steve, pics and paint looks great. Wish you still had your car though.
