Painter's Thread:
I know theres a few people on this forum who paint car's, or go to school for autobody and paint car's like myself, so lets see some of the work you did. Doesnt have to be anything crazy, lets just see some fresh paint!

Was gold, they needed some body work done, and wanted it black.

Cleared:





Honda Valve Cover:


When I did my rims:




And we attempted to try a carbon fiber look on my computer desk. Eh doesnt look like carbon fiber but it looks cool.

Now post up what you got. I know Liz has some sick pics

Im tellin ya trying to lay racing stripes down and keep the lines even and symetrical and straight down a damn long hood was so frustrating. And with the car being white its hard to see the body line down the center of the car

Motorcycle parts were orange and paint was flaking off. stripped it all, etch primed, and primer surfacer. Had to fix a few dents in the gas tank and a hole in a fender


And while I was priming and had time i started sanding and prepping those rims im sellin:

Buddy of mine finally finished his blazer, this is almost the exact color I wanted to paint my car. But since iv been reconsidering and leaning twords a nice metallic blue. This is a dark silver basecoat, with candy orange layed over it and Gold mica-pearl mixed in the candy as well. He two-toned it black and put orange candy as well as the gold in the black. One of the best paint jobs I have seen that rolled out of our class.







He is going to wetsand the whole thing and reclear it. He says theres some imperfections on the hood. And he wants to put a coat of orange candy over his rims and wants to play with his front grill and ****. but its basically done
