Alright... last time I got my car painted (when body kit was installed) I didn't know anything about paint (still don't). Come to find out the idiot who sprayed my car used some type of Acrylic paint where the clear is mixed in already? I guess people know what I'm talking about, but I want it done right this time. Can somebody let me know what type of paint I should use? I'm only going to be respraying my car, and don't really care for a $2,000 paint job. A friend is going to do it for me, but I want to make sure he uses the right stuff.

Visionz? Help me buddy? :?

 

buy the paint and clear coat seperate

 

I saw Visionz post something on HA (I believe) that said using black primer will be out the true color better.... would this still apply to white? I didn't know if using a white primer would be better for the white paint... especially since I will be scraping my front end, and don't want black shining through if I eventually scrape all the paint away...

 

so now you're gettin a real paint job and gettin rid of that spray paint huh?

haha jp

who was it that said that about your car? that was a while ago shock.gif

 

MartenTib...

he's just jealous because his looks stock... and he can't get a girl

 

As for the primer, for lighter colored cars, you want lighter colored primer. Either white, grey, or blue primer will be ok.

As far as what type of paint, you want a dual stage paint system. Meaning seperate color and clear. wink.gif

 

dude visi i know you been gone for a while but he got it painted a lil bit ago..

 

*LMAO* Shows ya how busy I've been and how much time I've had on the boards. oops.gif Thankfully things are calming down with regular work, and at the shop so I have time now to hang out on the forums. Well, until the end of the winter months when the shop get bombarded with people wanting stuff done to their rides. :?

Just a hint on primer.. if you are going to paint a car red... use yellow primer.
