Re: Let See Some Do-It-Yourself Paint Jobs

spraying the paint is the easy part, just make shure the paint is mixed good, get the parts right mine was a single stage and i think it was
4 to 1 to 1, get your air psi right and stay steady and consistant. always run past the panel, never let go of the trigger over the panel. and air temp in your booth is important to and have fans blowing away from what your painting, this pulls the drying paint particals in the air away from the wet paint

Re: Let See Some Do-It-Yourself Paint Jobs

Here is my street/strip camaro and my Mom's mud truck, both done at home by me.

Just take your time on the body work and guide coat it and block it good before you paint it. Its real easy to miss dents if your just going off of feel and sight. One thing I notice on a lot of DIY jobs is poeple don't get their rough sanding scratches out before they paint.

is it just the angle of the photo or is the driver side front fender lower than the passenger side?
