Is the paint on your car metallic? Did you use a clearcoat on top? Where did you get the paint? What type of sprayer did you use? Was this your first experience painting a car?

Its a pearl paint and yes i used clearcoat, paint was bought locally, and i used a simple cheap harbor freight gun. Yes it was my very first experience painting a car and using a real spray gun...pearl is very hard to spray especially for a beginner the doors have certain spots where the pearl was distorted because the gun was acting up a bit...its only noticeable at a certain angle in the sunlight...also a few clearcoat runs but overall i was really proud of myself how it turned out:)

As a former ASE painter, yah pearls are a BITCH to get right for a novice. If anyone wants to learn how to paint start off with metallics first. Pearls only look right if you got the material needle jetted just right, you need consistent air pressure any drop in pressure could make the pearl not atomize correctly. Not bad for a harbor gun, i personally use my SATA NR2000 for basecoat / clear coat with a 1.4MM needle and cap. Overall it looks like you did a good job for the experience you have.

[import racer]

Hey old school,It says your car is lowered 1.5 inches but that looks lower than that.

[obd0driver]

Your rude is getting so much buzz right I just seen it on tumblr and instagram. I think your on on the way to get ur ride in a mag soon.

[oldschool3g]

Might go for it;)

Overall it looks like you did a good job for the experience you have.Thank you:) yeah i should've started with metalic, if u look very close u can see where the pearl was distorted from either too much pressure or too little. i plan to fix it in the future because im very anal and it bugs me to see things like that lol. I really wanted to go with a good gun like the SATA but i just went by what i could afford at the time.

Well i hate to say it but ive been ridding on slightly cut eibach sportline springs to lower it to how i wanted it, and also cut pitchfork up front. But just recently im riding on sprint springs, the back is ok now but the front i wanna go like half inch lower:)


Your rude is getting so much buzz right I just seen it on tumblr and instagram. I think your on on the way to get ur ride in a mag soon.I don't think its mag worthy, but i would love that:)

[import racer]

So how did it ride on the cut eibach's.

[jesus_charger]

Damn i need to see this car again! ... looks great man

[Legend_master]

Definitely mag worthy.

[oldschool3g]

So how did it ride on the cut eibach's. surprisingly well actually, didn't change much because only a piece of each was cut.


Damn i need to see this car again! ... looks great manI might be in chula vista september first jesus;)


Definitely mag worthy.Thanks legend

[The_Biker11]

I usually don't like the hatches very much, but I love yours man. So sick and a great color choice too. My only question is, what front lip do you have? It is perfect, and is the one I want. Thanks man!

Ohey that is exactly me :D I screwed up some little stupid details when I repainted my qp back then and I obviously went all pissy about it and how its bugging me so bad. Needless to say I ended up getting the qp repainted three times LOL

[redneck]

Needless to say I ended up getting the qp repainted three times LOLlol were very alike then. I just havent got a chance to do it or buy more clear. By the way how hard was it to blend the color or the clear into the paint thatt was sprayed first..your paint looks like a pearl aswell and i dont wanna screw it up more lol
