[jdmboi type s]

lol well thin .... thats what ment 2 say srry about that.So i should do 60/40 rite?

from what i've seen, most people do a 50/50 mix of either paint thinner, mineral spirits, or acetone. each one will cause the paint to flash a little bit differently. being thinned out will mean you will have to do several coats.

this is lookin more appealing lol..... im starting to hate my flat black piss poor primer job . type g do u have anymore input? or can you shed any light on this as far as polish used or paints used?

[turbo90accord]

i tried it a while ago and it was a bit watery as well. took a solid 10 coats before it was thick enough that it could be colorsanded and buffed without blowing through it and getting splotches.

Rattle cans FTW my friend.

I painted all these with just Duplicolor spray paint.

Hood - Duplicolor Gloss Black


Fully rattle canned the entire body and the rims with Duplicolor Ford Red, Gloss Black and Bronze wheel paint.


Duplicolor Grabber Green and black


Rockerguard lower half


Just takes patience. All those were done for under $120 in paints and supplies.

how many cans did the cb7 hood take?

[crazymikey]

That was a scuff with 220 grit I think, then hit it with grease and wax remover. Sprayed adhesion promoter on it, then one good coat of primer, and 2 cans of black covered the hood pretty well. I bought 3 cans to do it. It could probably stand to use 1 more coat to finish it off perfectly, but it looks good enough to me as it is.

loud92CB7, they use rustoleum oil based enamal. you can find it in any hardware store. check out their website for more info. as far as polish, you can shine it after wet sanding with just about any polishing compound and a rotory buffer.


you can tell those cars above were spray painted because of the tiger stripes. later.

[crazymikey]

yeah, when you rattle can, especially dark colours like black, it takes a lot of coats to get rid of the tiger stripes. In the case of the ones I sprayed, I only did 2 coats, mostly because I knew I wasn't going to keep the truck for a long time, and it was cheaper than a proper paint job.

The red truck I sold about a month after painting it, and I drove the green one like that for a year.
