^^^agreed, its all how you do the job, its your car, its your time, its your job. so if you do a shitty job, then itll be shitty. you dont need expensive stuff to have a great product. make do with what you have.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

ghetto, nothing less. Does anyone wonder why MKIII's are considered cheap toys for kids? The rationalization in this thread, to honda owners no less, should clear up any remaining doubt as to why the stereotype exists.

If you want a cheap shit job, roll away baby! If you want a quality, professional job, spend the required money

you contradict yourself with this statement.

Time is money, I can make the $950 in the same time itd take to paint your car.

Actually I might be getting a honda AZ 600 I could do this paint job on. I think itd turn out pretty nice and the cars the size of a milk jug so it wont take long.

thats kick ass... when i buy another mkiii someday i'll have to try this...

Lol.....for that fresh dull look. If your broke I guess. Best part was the guy paying $9600 for a paint job.

Have you seen Martin paint any cars with this method? I think it is quite innovative. I am sick of body shops trying to rip me off.

he did one fender for me. he block sanded it down to what was necessary, primed it, then did 5 coats over 5 days. he would just let ti sit over night, then wetsand it,then clean it off again then another coat. Guys, these aren't dull at all if you take the time to wetsand it right.

up to what grit do most people go to?

 

[PROJECT N00b]

uhm im not sure, 400 so ive heard.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

400? i was thinkin of Starting with 600. and going up to 1200? is that the usual range?

 

[PROJECT N00b]

what ever you think will do the job. i just saw this and thought id let you guys know, but go ahead and try it, let me know how it goes. and then post it up so we know what to use!

 

[MassSupra89]

I remember seeing a finish sand of 1000 grit somewhere.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

i did 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 then 1500. You're talkign about prep right?

 

[theKnifeArtist]
