DIY budget paint matching. Lots of pics

The use the normal basecoat and reducer and put it in a can so its really the same stuff I would shoot from a paint gun. I just reread your OP and saw you got it from Schenectady AB, they are good shit, now i get it.

Also the clear did come out damn good, def not some duplicolor jump off, I will have to look into that stuff for tiny projects where its a pain in the ass to load a gun with clear. :thumbup

i love it man, looks soo much better :thumbup

looks good man, but if you were taking off the manifold, why not upgrade to the ls6? I thought you had plans to do that as well?

You could realistically spray paint a mirror or other small part of a car as a cheap repair. I wouldn’t recommend doing a quarter panel on a Bimmer this way but a new bump strip on a Hyundai is certainly a possibility.

Not to mention if I messed it up I would have more argument to buy an LS6. But unfortunately my talent prevailed

/\ exactly!

ahh ic. I was jw.

Very nice.

That came out great for rattle can or not. Good job!

holy fuck dude that came out fantastic… i might actually do this to mine while its apart!!

nice man! schenectady autobody isnt that great, ive had some bad experiences there, id recommend albany auto body. I wouldve used a plastic adhesion promoter along with the sanding, but came out good none the less!

good job ADD-Joe.

Word, me too… oh wait

:lol

  • rep for callin out Gatville. LOL

As an Albany resident I usually go to Albany Auto Body but for some reason they don’t do the custom mixed spray cans. I have only had good experiences with either tho. For anything else, Albany it is.

ya know, i read through quick and saw other people post about it, but i mustve missed it :rofl

/selfpawn

good job
