Painting - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #33774 3 posts Started by yyet
Wat Up! Well, me and my friend were planning to paint my car. I am a little strep for money, so he suggested that we just spray paint it. My paint now is junk, the guy I bought the car from didn't take care of it like he should have. The clear coat is coming off and there are plenty of discolored places on my car. I think this is common, like the hood, and the roof the paint is a little how do you say BLAH!!!. So my friend said, lets spray paint it. Good idea?

Save the money, and do a quality job...

or, if you have a couple hundred bucks, go to macco and have them slap on some paint for cheap<<that is probably YOUR best option...macco jobs stink, but will probably be better than the rattle...

Search about this, there is a ton of good links here wink.gif ...

I guess you can have an attempt at it.
But the most important part of painting is
the body prep.
Bulldog can give you some tips since he works in a
body shop.
