A HUGE thanks again to everyone ![]() ![]() And I cant wait till CSP! the candy was absolutely the hardest part! but as long as you take your time and are able to envision it per say (and trust yourself, panicking is the worst thing!) it will come out good. It is... textured? kinda with the paint system I used for people that may look into it, its smooth but not like single stage, idk how to explain it exactly but it looks awesome and I am in love with my celi even more ![]() very nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur car looks awesome, i love the body kit ( i have the same one ![]() |

I am not sure yet, as I hit a snag doing my k-frame this wknd, and havent started painting. But I got 3 quarts of each paint (primer, base, candy, clear). But I am not painting my hood which is a big portion, so I would say a gallon to be on the safe side ya know? this wknd I will be painting im pretty sure ![]() I should be updating this thread shortly, just a matter of having people help me lol, hate not having a car because when i need something.... I cant freakin get it! and my parents work alot so its hard to get rides, like now im only 2 bolts away from getting my celi done....but I have to wait till tomorrow! ugh:( well, i'll love to see pic of the painting when its done! ![]() ![]() |

- make sure everything is done right in the beginning. all of the flaws in sanding, and filler work will show if not done correctly. - the environment in which you paint will change how close to the car you spray. make sure humidity is down! - wet sand and buff the final product! painting is a daunting task. it is amazing how great, or terrible paint can look. if you do it yourself be sure to research. good luck hope everything turns out well! do you know how much paint is needed to paint the whole car??? ![]() |
