Quick (crappy) paint job on my hood....

[empera]

so we got tired of seeing my hood primered and shitty so we decided to give it a quick paint job...thanks to chris i got some matching paint...and some clear coat.
I plan on either doing the same thing to a CF hood or redoing this one...but we'll see...

Before...

After...

Looks perfect in this picture...but its not

And a group picture...

Nice job on matching the faded original paint

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Wow! Pretty decent job for a quickie!

How did you match it so well? If I can find a way to match colors that well I'd be ok with putting my pre-89 spoiler on my new grey car =O The hood is awesome too, but I'd paint the nose cone center part too to match the bulges.

spray permatex gasket remover directly onto the concrete, let sit for 10 seconds. Wipe it off with a towel.. right emp?

Came out pretty well!

Or paint stripper, same exact thing (dichlormethane).


not bad for a quickie but someone needs to show you how to block sand filler/primer. You sanded that with a RO sander didnt you?

someone doesnt need to show me anything...again it was a quick job, if i wanted it to come out looking perfect i woulda took my time...but the car will be getting redone in the future so that can wait. I have other things to worry about.

didnt mean for that to sound like I was doggin ya man, just meant that if you had block sanded it it would have been smoother. I do quickie jobs sometimes myself but if Im going to bother spending money for the spray paint, I might as well at least do the free part (sanding/prep) reasonably well.

Its all good. Looks about as good as my hood looked after I rattle canned it, same scheme too

 

[empera]

understood but i wanted it to look a little betta than just primered so we went with this. Hopefully i'll be able to get a CF or just redo the hood in the future...Fall/Winter is comming so i have a lot of plans for the car.

I was being serious

I think the tiger stripes blend in well with the faded nosecone and the hood doesn't look out of place!

 

[buckshotglass]

Wow! Pretty decent job for a quickie!

..and the hood looks good too.

 

[Supraholics]

^^^^ :rofl:

Better than primer for sure!

 

[Highnitro]
