Hey Guys just offering my painting talents.

If you want yours done.  
I can show you how…, OR do it for a price$$.

Hey You…  
MR.Fancy jagged edge, diamond, snowflake rim guy…it’ll cost you moocho more than the guy with the basic 5 stars.

Otherwise I also do body work and refinishing through to show shine as well as wet sanding to 2000 grit and polish.

I can polish rims…it sucks…do it yourself… or after I get the 600 grit finish on there.  
18" 5 stars take about 2-3 hrs each.

Get yer lips done by a semi-pro…lol sounds dirty…love it!

I can also  
fix your dull paint  
fix a scratch.  
Re-clear a door - 1/2 car or paint to match (if paint is available)  
buff your headlights… (LOL)  
spoiler install and adaptations / Mods available too.  
etc.

Door handle smoothing: May take up to 2 days (sat & sun) due to excessive booze.  
and it will be the bargain harolds way with panel epoxy (no welding).  
(usually good for 3-4 yrs)

SOME Fiberglass work: Available just not very good at it “YET”  
re-inforce and repair bumper covers (usually not a problem)  
speaker pods etc.

ugly + bondo = good.  
like chicks with big glasses.

otherwise willing to teach too. (yes fer free).

just wanna help and meet!

There’s an attachment that you can buy at Walmart. You put it onto the top of the spray can and you use it just like a suction feed spray gun. For me it helped me with consistency of application. That and my finger didn’t get tired so quickly.

I painted my whole Datsun with a set of spray cans. Primer –\> Base –\> Clear  
The attachment made it extremely easy for me. It came out pretty streakless. My friend also put a spoiler on the bed cover of his S10. The spoiler was from a Dark Blue Supra and he wanted it black. I sprayed two spray cans with the attachment and it turned out pretty good.

it should be sanded with 600 first, then cleaned really well, then painted. you prolly suck at painting, no offence, so do I, that shit’s hard. just be patient, stick to a pattern, apply only a little at a time. wait until it’s tacky until you apply the next coat. if it still looks crap when its done, with the clear and everything on, just wet sand with some 600 or 1000 depending how bad it is, then polish, just make sure you dont break through the clear.

use the motomaster plastics (read flexible) primer…it goes on clear.  
don’t let it fully harden  
watch it tack dry (you can actually see it dry by eye)  
then dust coat (all overspray)with colour, then give a light coat.  
allways move to match the contour of the piece.  
spray in spurts…not like an 80’s hairspray or raid commercial.  
wait at least 1.5 smokes (20 minutes) after all of that.

then clear…it’ll never look right until after buffing.  
same technique as the colour coat, dust, thin, regular = 2 coats.  
if you want to have more so you can wet sand just wait till its sticky - glue-y in an invisible spot…then do a regular coat.

1 swipe of the spray can over a 4 ft line should take about 4 seconds.  
too much paint will give whitish pearly spots (fish eye).  
wait for it to dry completely then do the whole thing over but be cheaper with the paint.

driveway or mobile.

no shop its a side job. I’m in high tech sales

spray cans or equipment. Both jobs turn out pro Q

difference is, cans need 1 week to finish hardening b4 i’ll wetsand and polish.  
and may need a re-polish after these SUPER CANADIAN WINTERS!:mad:

I have a mig I just havent had enough crap break on me to get any practice.

I CAN DO OR HELP AS THATS A BIG JOB.

if all it needs is paint I can help.  
if you want me to buy the parts etc too…I dunno  
Also If you’r car is pearl white…which I think it is …(pic).you will almost definately not be happy with almost ANY BODY SHOP!

Painters hate pearl white… pearl, metallic, interlayer mix, fade…woof its like calculating for lunar pull.

I def reccomend if you are pearl white… go with a diff colour for the front and blend, stripe, weave, etc your way into the back.

if you have a colour in the crappy tire book…your probably laughin.:R

sweet! sounds like you had fun too.

I hate the trigger thing…makes me hand feel funny.  
anyhow do what works.  
best finish comes from 3+ COATS OF CLEAR  
wait 1 week (no car wash for you)  
wet sand with 800 then 1000 then 1500 (after this its pure show Q)  
POLISH WITH FARECLA G3 & SPIT…no really…spit!:R

thats why you need the booze after yer dehidrated…yaaa thats it…yaaa:R

ask Kelvin aka Chicken to paint it for you.

i highly recommend him, he does really good job,

but stay with him when he paints it, because he tends to miss some areas.

for a good job, get like 2 cans, and get your paint from Paint-Circuit.
