My $50 Paint Job

Inspired by this thread: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1555133

In case you don't want to click that it was done with a roller and Rustoleum paint.

A before pic while prepping, just to show the ugly 3-tone spray paint.



This was after the second coat.



These two pics were after the third coat was on





Then after everything. I still need to polish and sand down a few spots where paint got under the masking tape.

actually looks really good for 50 bucks, im in the process of doing mine, but im wet sanding and going through a million steps too so im pushing over 100 hah, but looks nasty as hell, cars clean

I did the wetsanding between every coat as well, I think I actually ended up around $80. I think right now I've spent about 15 hours on this as well. And its been close to or above 100 degrees here the whole time.

Looks pretty good

Thanks man, They're 16's, I think 16x7 but I'm not 100% on the width.

No clear coat. Its an enamel paint thats meant to be outside, so it should be fine.

Thanks guys, I wouldn't say it quite looks professional, theres a few drips and bubbles you can see where I messed up, but for my first time painting a car I'm really happy with it.

Man, thats incredible especially for the fact that you just saved yourself a load of cash! I'm thinking about repainting my car as well, but I heard black is a very difficult color to paint to perfection, so i'd much rather save up and pay a professional to do it rather then risk it to save a couple. But great job bro, looks awesome!

Looks good man!

Always nice to see Rustoleum paint jobs done well

I did a few cars this way including my current Integra
