evinX Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Well i thought i might as well make a thread on this. Im painting my supra at home, in the open weather in hammerite satin black using aerosol's. Started of with a test before i bought bulk paint, and it came out very well. So started to paint parts that didnt need much prepping, mirrors, eyelids and bonnet + washers so far. Will update with pics as i go futher on...

navtrd Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Saw a honda civic which was done at home with aerosols never thought id see a day when some one does it to a supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Brett Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I cant believe you are using hamerite from an aerosol can !!!. I used exactly the same paint tin the same colour to spray my wrought iron garden table and chairs. Believe me, it doesnt go very far, and will cost almost as much to do the whole car as getting it doen by a garage. Also, i had horrendous trouble stopping the runs. You must be mad:D, but deserve some credit for effort/balls. Would love to see the finished result close up. Fingers crossed its better than my garden furnature:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 If you ever want to have it painted properly again the cars going to have to go back to the metal..... Would it not have been cheaper to hire some gear and just spray it with proper automotive paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodifiedkid Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I dont envy your neighbours with all that overspray going over there cars!! I remember priming up my supra in the private car park where i live before i got a workshop and the overspray was collosal and the neighbours gave me a proper bolly, needless to say i spent the next week or so cleaning every inch of there cars. (8 in all) But hats of to you for giving this a go, interested on how this turns out. Wont be cheap tho, rattle cans don't go far at all, as i suppose you have already found out!!!!!

JustGav Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I actually think a few of you are being VERY unfair... Sure it might not be the world's best finish, but he has taken the time to put his OWN effort into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I actually think a few of you are being VERY unfair... Sure it might not be the world's best finish, but he has taken the time to put his OWN effort into this. I'd echo that, as much as the finished product isn't to my taste this is a young chap learning new skills and making his own car look how he wants it to look on the budget he has available. I have more respect for this than someone just waving a visa card and placing orders for the next big crowd pleaser. When I was close to his age I think I was spraying the rusty arches of a Fiesta most weekends with rattle cans and being proud of my efforts, don't dampen the spirits of this enthusiast folks.
