steady_dave Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Lol, im open to any comments, people need to say what they want good or bad, its all ok and welcome:) but thanks:) Well at first I thought it was a very bad idea but the results you are getting look pretty cool, I like, and really want to see the finished project. How long do you think it's going to take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasoup Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Great job evin gotta hand it to you but I wish I read this thread last week as i'v just painted the interior dash of my supra satin black not hammerite satin black! Theres already scratches on it:(. How much do you think the whole paint project will have set you back when it's finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Oooooh just over £500, inc paint which was £200, becuase i had to get a shed load of materials, tools and parts to do the job. Totally worth it imo, £500 for a full respray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal spray can paint? would do as theres no clear coat on it which makes paint tough, try to find some satin or matt clear lacquer in spray cans:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hope it all goes well for you, but I still think your mad. I'm not a big fan of the matt black supra even the pic of how you want it to look does nothing for me. Loving the effort your putting into it I take my imaginary hat off to you.

jackso11 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 have you made a tent style spray booth are are you actually doing this on your drive?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 have you made a tent style spray booth are are you actually doing this on your drive?! I bought a gazebo of ebay yesterday, just waiting on it, for the time i can prep the body, weather dosent look so good so im not risking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Be interested to see how it turns out, looks good and I know exactly how much prep goes into it! The Gazebo idea is a good one. Get some ventilation though, assuming it has sides. Here is mine after Friday/Saturday. Just need to do re-do the tailgate as my impatience got the better of me and it pickled. Didnt use aerosols, in the end I borrowed a mate's barn, borrowed a compressor, bought a new gun @£12 and spent around £80 on paint. It's not brilliant, but I am pleased with results.

Willson Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ah it was yours I saw at the Pod, looked very good. I liked the plate too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ah it was yours I saw at the Pod, looked very good. I liked the plate too. Cheers, am pretty pleased considering the small outlay, although it was a lot of work and still have some more to "re" do. Wont be using the plates too much for the road as dont want to run the risk of getting pulled all the time. Sorry to hijack the thread Evinx.

Shane Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) you were parked 2 cars down from mine me and a couple of mates were looking at it. it was a nice job unusual but looked good man! Thanks mate, looks good apart from the boot, really miffed that I didnt leave it as it was almost perfect. Just a couple of small blemishes and I decided to rub them back on saturday morning and give it another pass with the gun and it pickled something chronic. At least it was contained just to the boot so shouldnt take too long to put right. Going to tackle the wheels next, I was going to go hi gloss black, but then I saw some rims on Sunday at Rockingham which had been given the camo treatment and that got me thinking.

evinX Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Saturday morning would have been cold, dont paint in the cold and lay it heavy as it will crinkle up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Saturday morning would have been cold, dont paint in the cold and lay it heavy as it will crinkle up Yeah maybe it didnt help, but it was cold all day on Friday too. The paint from Friday was still soft and when the next coat went down on Saturday I think the second coat affected the first. Will be fine once i get chance to sort it out.
