Well was at work today and found some black vinyl laying around, extra, and applied it halfass to my SS and it looks decent. They said if I come in early 2morrow I can paint it on myself. The props for working at a body shop. Probably goin with Satin Black, and if I don't like it later on just re-paint...I'll post pics up when I'm done.

 

Crappy day all day today and I forgot my camera at home so I couldn't take any pics while I was in the building nor in the oven...



I will try to get better pics as soon as it clears up more.

 

Alright, I did the evo mod on my SS and I'm not sure of what exactly I did wrong, but when I peeled the tape off a small amount of the paint around/over it rippled on both sides and it came out a bit choppy on the sides. What can I do to re-do this the correct way?

I used about 3-4 coats of black and 2 clear.

 

Paint thin layers and on the last coat pull of the tape you edged it with really quickly so the paint won't have time to fully set-up. You won't have this problem.

 

So I should sand it all down and redo it pulling off the tape quickly after the last coat?
Thanks for the help

 

Correct....Do light coats if your rattle canning it, they dry much quicker so you can apply more coats quicker basically and removed the tape quicker. I didn't have this problem because I was in a paint booth, and the paint I used sets up differently.

 

So been debating on the EVO mod. Do I want a satin black for both bars? or a gloss black? leaning more towards satin but unsure.

going to have it sent out and professionally painted.

 

Satin looks awesome. I had the choice between satin, flat, or gloss when I painted it. Satin FTW!

 

Those retros are sickk

 

Throw me up on that list. Just finished it last night.

 

Piktars...

i need to see some pics on a sport red tintcoat car before i do this

 

It won't look good man, Our cars are too dark for that...To show you I will take a pics of my car or yours if you have one and photoshop it.

@2.4l Cobalt SS..Hey man paint that grille up black since you went black on your crossbar on your grille

 

yeah. i think thats the next project. i really want the ss/tc grille though.. I might wait for that.

 

Man just by painting that grille black it really makes you like the one you got. I was really wanting to tc grille but after i painted mine black i really like the one i got.

 

 

i dont have a picture but if you could photo shop one that would be awesome

 

red with black satin is where it's at...

 

I will agree...debating on how to paint my bowtie though...either red with chrome trim or black with chrome trim, or just all black?
