Hmm, Paint?
 

Well I've been checking around and I have a few connections with spray guns from their shops, compressors, ect, but the paint.. hmm

What should I go with on a Paint brand? Was thinking Dupli-color "Paint Shop"

its all up to you, what kind of paint you use and what brand rather it be a single stage base coat or a clear coat finish, the price is significantly less if you go with the single stage base coat as to it is way cheaper and easier to fix scratchs and what not when you dont have a clear coat to deal with my dart is sprayed with a dupont heavy duty enemal its made from some paint they use to spray airplanes and heavy machines plus back in the day when these cars where built they used a single stage basecoat but theres alot of people that will say the best paint job is a clearcoat

Well I have other problems arising now too... I'll post a thread and see what's up.

if you're on a budget and have uber time, this is a good way to go

Nice, but what's the full method for it?

did you decide if your were going to paint your car john?

FLAT BLACK !!!

Lol should I keep it Flat black Scamp? Or Inferno/Cherry Red.

i will be painting mine - the only thing holding me back is what color, i keep changing my mind

lol both Steve & thanks for that info John impressive finish to say the least

Eh a few weeks for that process, I'd need to find a place to keep it until it dries.

Someone here did the rolled on paint. It might have been last year, but I couldn't find it. Think it was alot of work but cheap and I think it turned out pretty good.

Yeah but my only problem is finding a place to put it to paint it.

Either method and you will still need a place to paint it...If you read the whole article/thread on the roller job, most paint will dry enough in 12-24 hrs.... its the prep time, and dust control thats the hardest on ANY paint job....
Just my .02 cents worth....

Yeah, I have some ideas on what to do, I'm getting a carport, going to wet the walls and floor and pray to whatever God is there that little to no dust gets on, but my life is pretty free now... I took care of some things.. but all in all I hope I'll be happy with how it comes out.

nothing says love like krylon!

just kidding. what color you gonna paint it?

Perhaps one of the original colours for the year .

luckily with the roller, there is enough sanding to take care any errant dust.

Lol @Fury. No I'm not using Krylon. I'm using legit Paint Shop coating. I might just do a gloss black.

gloss black is very kool.(if it belongs to someone else) have you owned a gloss black car? i have never again! take alot of time every speck of dirt shows up. if its not strait every dent shows up.

Hell I have nothing more to do in life really haha, so I guess I'm going to paint it within a week.

Well I'm stuck with paint, Gloss black, Purple/Maroonish, Inferno Red or Apple Green.

i think that would look good on your car!(with black out hood) got a paint chip to show?

im not trying to tell you what to paint your car im just trying to help.

Ideas are ALWAYS welcomed, I'll be starting the paintjob this weekend!, I'm going to have pics from the day it's on the flatbed, to the brakes, paint and interior being done!

I painted mine in my garage. Picked up the paint at the local paint shop and did it over the weekend. Saturday i did the blue,then sunday I did the airbrush work and clear coat on it. That is after spending two weeks preping it.

The prep work is where you really need to focus. If there are any panels that have a slight defect, you will see it after you paint it. Preping the car takes a long time but is well worth it in the end.

Also there was someone on the board here who did the roller job on his car and it came out looking great. Anyone remeber who that was or have that thread handy?

Found it!

It was the orange Charger I think "johnthegoalie". I seen a artical in Hot Rod Mag last year on roller painting too. step by step instructions.

Watched my neighbour last year do a roller paint job, looked great if driveway sealer is your thing, yes tar driveway sealer, a month later after it hardened and all the Nevada sand had blown over it I called his Mavrick "the 60 grit" lol then it got really hot and yes his drivway is covered in tar drips
