So...considering the fact that I just splurged a crapload of money for my car and I want a proper paint job which would be $4000; I've decided to do that next season since I have other priorities right now...=(

However, I cannot leave my baby with a plastdip front end, so me and MonkeyV6 decided to DIY paint job this and see how it turns out...better than plastdip and Walmart spray can right? =\ lol...

Enjoy...not complete yet; went through alot of trial and error...LOL -_-

And so it begins...

hahahaha.....I only tease because I care.

Don't even get me started on never ending.

I have been making progress, and I am hoping to start the engine teardown very soon.

:inouteek: .... hmmm IDK that I like this idea ... Always thought rattle can paint jobs where the worst thing ppl could do ... Looks like you guys are putting a lot of prep work into it though so thats good ... Good luck with this project

Hmmm...admittedly skeptical. But it may pass for acceptable until you get a full paint job, which I hope happens after not too long. Rattle cans really don't truly spray like a gun though. :lawl:

Don't forget the clearcoat, and good luck!

Prep work and being able to maintain a consistent spray pattern will be key here. Good luck, looking forward to seeing the final product.
