If I find the paint I want could I paint the whole car with the help of my dad and a guy he knows? The guy he knows has a paint booth that he is willing to let us use for my dads truck. I want to repaint the whole car if possible with very low cost. I don't have a job yet, and I have spent almost all my earning so far on the mustang.

 

I have tons of people comment on my black hood. When I eventually repaint the car, I'll paint it to match but it really pops out as it is and gives a really agressive look. It has a really nice, glossy finish with no orange peel, so it doesn't look like a half way done job.

 

I dont want to sound like an *** but any how.......With those rims and a black hood, the car would look like a disaster. You would have 2-3 different paint colors going on. not to mention "those rims" to set everything off. I would keep the hood aside until your ready for a full paint job. But hey, she is your baby so pimp her to a point, but dont over pimp because she will look like a clown with funny shoes.

 

I want to powdercoat the rims black sometime in the future. I still have about a week until it is painted. I have still have to sand it, fix the rust, fix a few cut parts, prime it, maybe wet sand it, and paint it.

 

BA i cant view the pics of yopru car. could you post one on here. the phot gallery is giving me a hard time.

thanks if you can. if you cant dont sweat it.

 

Sure I can. Here are 3. 2 with original front valance and 1 with race valance and spoiler. I just found the stripe specs for 69 Mach 1 hood stripe. [sm=happy046.gif]

 

dang son get out and make some money mcd's is always hiring yu can paint it reasonably yourself if you do the labor yourself.

im gonna paint my f150 when i go back to work im gonna spend about 200$ total for a gallon of single stage urethane. im gonna prime the entire truck with my black epoxy primer so the color will come in early(gonna go with dark green probably

if i did it bc/cc it would add about 200$ more on my work stuff like the truck i use the value ppg line called shopline or if i go with dupont i use nason.


when i do the 65 im gonna use either ppg's deltron 2000 or Basf's Glasurit line

 

The restaurant I want to work at isn't hiring yet. They are building here about 2 miles away from my house. My dad hasKirker Metallic Red. We also already have the primer. He said he might not paint his truck so I might take that red from him.

Here is the site he bought it from.

 

just because they are not hiring doesnt mean you need to wait(plus its easier to get a job if you already have one) and with the economy you need to get a job before there are none to get. older men and women are gonna start taking a lot of jobs like that as second and 3rd jobs just to keep up with the rising COL

 

I paint my cars. I'm not what I consider myself to be a "master craftsman" when it comes to bodywork, but I can hang with the professionals okay I guess as my results are usually pretty good.

If someone told me that I had a whole week to "sand it, fix the rust, fix a few cut parts, etc.", I'd probably have a heart attack. I don't know if it's possible to get a car ready for paint in only a week. At best, it's taken me a couple months. It usually ends up being closer to 4 months.

If you just want to slap some paint on it, you're wasting your time and money. There's only one "right way" to paint a car and to do it right, the car needs to be completely disassembled. Interior completely removed, glass out, doors/fenders/hood/deck lid removed. Each piece needs to be prepped and readied off of the car. If you rush it, it's going to look like crap.

Good luck,
Dave
