The biggest mistake you are making is you rush things. Take your time masking things off that are not intended to be painted and make sure the masking is done well, then prep it and paint it.

I know you are trying too,but you are wasting your time with that rattle can crap. that stuff didn't even last when I used it temporarily while doing body work. I hope you didn't just spray it over the body without even prepping it. it'll be peeling in a week. you have to scuff sand the entire car before you start spraying anything on it. the only thing rattle can i used was the duplicolr self etch primer,and thats under high build 2 k primer surfacer. the only reason mine is in primer right now is that i'm prepping for paint. you are trying, but doing it half ass only means you'll have to do it twice. it took almost an entire day to completly mask my car off,you need tape and more supplies. I used two complete rolls of 3 inch wide,a roll of 1/4 inch wide,and a half a roll of masking paper. about 30 bucks just on the proper paint supplies.
i got 3 rolls of doller tree tape for 3 bucks and only used 1 sofar :D and i am geting rid of the car so i dont want to dump alot of money in to it i am looking for a car i want to put money in toQuote:

well in some ways it looks better but the overspray and stuff isn't so good
however you've made a lot of progress on the car overall.. you're more likely to sell it now than when you were first trying to i think :thumbup:
i paint cars for a living and i will tell u all from experience if u put shit on your car it will come out like shit. i would say if u want it to look decent u need to buy 3m tape so the paint wont seep through. and sand the entire car in a garage away from moisture and primer the whole car in one shot with either etching primer or high build. omni has great paint. it is basically the same quality as PPG paint products and it is more affordable. if u paint is panel by panel the colors wont match and will look tacky.
I had to do my primer in three stages due to time constraints,but I used trim lines and body lines as dividing points,I used the Nappa cross fire high build primer surfacer. it's a martin seymore brand. seems to be good stuff. I still have to wet sand the entire car to get ready for the final color,which will be in several stages,the bottom of the hood,the door jambs,then the body. the crossfire is a 2k with a four to one mix ratio.Quote:

not doller tree paint i am not that stupid.. it is doller tree tape i used walmart brand primer it has held up fine so far and the car should sale easy cux there are no cars for sale out here for under $1000 unless thay have a blown head (tons of cars with blown heads in the desert) we paid $900 for a 82 accord that was part primer with a bad carb so there is a big chance that someone will buy a 88 for 700
oh and i am wet sanding all the over spary off when i am done
yeah some newspaper and masking tape help alot
why is your back bumper hanging off? it looks like you backed into something?
i think he was painting the back part around the rear bumper & it was in the way
yeah looks like he had to take the side off to sand and prime the car. at least your car is one color not like my dx
lol ur DX has primer camouflage :D

dude.. i thought u said u had masking tape.. u got hella overspray on the back glass :\ if you're trying to sell it you gotta be more careful mang.. i think most people would rather have oxidized paint than primer all over their windows
i am geting paint thiner later to fix that i have masking tape just no newspaper and it would be a bitch to cover that back window so i said fuck i will get the paint off some way :P i coverd up the side windows thoQuote:

i have masking tape just no newspaper
i hate to be negative but it'd suck if you do all this work and end up not really improving the look of the car :\
well you can get the primer off with the paint thiner. oh well look alright.
WHO wants to comeover and p[aint my car for free
first of all,one word,RESIZE!! COULD YOU HAVE POSSIBLY MADE THEM ANY BIGGER!! and second,it's not about time or money or resources,it's about being too lazy to take the time and do something right. you couldn't get newspaper? you bought primer,and tape,but you couldn't find some newspaper,you aren't supposed to use it anyway,but it would have been better then painting your windows. I'm sure someone would have given you some extra newspaper. you aren't going to able to spray over that crap primer,it'll get more puckers in it then rosannes ass. you have dents and scrapes all over your car. did you even clean the car before you sprayed that primer? look at the dirt in the back window. I could understand if you made a real effort to do this right,but you are making a big deal out of spraying some cheap rattle can primer over a mess. there are a lot of things you could done better if you would have just taken the time. even if you were broke. this is an insult to those of us worked really hard on our cars,even those without resources who at least made an effort to do a decent job. if you were out there busting your ass I would say good job,but you like to do things the easy way,not the right way. as far as paint,no one is going to paint your car for free,buddy,just like no one is going to paint my car for free but me. don't tell me you didn't have the time to do it right eithier,you don't even have a job,I work all day,then go to school at night and work on my car. ok rant over.
ok WTF do u always have to come on here and yell at me or something .....Quote:

this primer has held up good so far i have had it on the fenders and qutaer panel for a long time and it has not came off anywhere i would like to use a auto primer but cant aford too
i had no way to go and get news paper my mom and step dad where not home and the 3gee would not start (damn battery) i allredy got paint on the back window along time ago so i did not care if i got more on it cuz i would have to cleen it with paint thiner anyway i did cover the side back window and i rolled the front one down and i did cover the trim good i have to repaint the trim now anyway cuz the tape peeled the paint off the trimQuote:

no anything that is bare metal has to primed with eithier self etch primer,or epoxy primer. regular primer won't stick properly or protect properly over bare metal. you need to sand all that crap off but try not to sand through the factory paint. you didn't sand off the factory paint did you? if you have small spots of bare metal,get some of the duplicolor self etch primer,follow the directions on the can,and use it over the bare metal,it's acid based,so it etches the metal. thats the only rattle can I would use,but it needs to be topcoated, it's not made to resist weather,only go under other paint or primer. did you clean off all the old dirt on the car,and clean off all the old wax with a prep cleaner,before you sanded? if you didn't you're in a mess,you just sanded all that wax into the paint. you'll have more fisheyes then long john silvers. you'll never get all that silicone out of the old finish now.Quote:

First off theres no point in primering your car because if you get it painted then they will just sand it all off and lay down new primer anyways so your just wasting time and money, a paint shop wont go over someone elses work. Just save your money for other things. What are your goals with this car, do you want it to look nice, handle well, be fast or a little of all? Take some time and figure out what your actual goal is, then take the necessary steps to get there and if you want a paint job take your car to macco and get one. The first thing you should do is make the car reliable, then worry about moding it. Make a list of what you would like your car to look like and what parts you want and things like that, then as you get money get the parts and install them, and dont try to do things all at once take your time. I have been on here for over 2 years and just hit 1000 posts, you have been here 8 months and have over 2000, stop doing so much pointless posting and go threw all the threads and do research, honestly thats the only way you will learn anything and the only way you have a chance on building a nice car. Try going a few days without posting, spend the same amount of time each day as you normally would on this site but dont post. Now while your on the site not posting go through as many threads as you can and just read and learn, i dont mean the threads in the OTX section and crap like that, i mean read the technical, how-to, performance, suspension and stuff like that. Now I gaurente after those few days of reading you will know a lot more and be able to help others with their questions and be able to reply to someones post without just saying "pics own you maing" 600 times a week, and more importantly you wont have to worry about anymore threads turning out like this. Thats just my advice.
i am doing the prep work so i cant paint it i not takeing it in i doing everthing myself
i have read most of the topics on this forum when i 1st joined all i did was read and did not post for like a week :D
this car need a alot of engine maybe even a head gasket :(
i may not keep the car if i find a hatchback 3gee
Well then save the money on the next car. No point wasting anymore $$ on this car. I understand that you think it might help the resale value, but like other said....Quote:

Between all the tools and supplies you will need to buy to paint your own car it will cost just the same maybe more then having a place do it.Quote:

I would have sold it as it was,now you've got a car that was sanded down to bare metal,sprayed with cheap ass primer,not designed for automotive use,not designed for bare metal!!!!!note this!!! that primer WILL NOT protect that metal from rusting from the bottom up. what you'll have in a month is a car with gray primer,that is slowly turning rust color,because you removed all the protective factory primer,and replaced it with CRAP!! that car is toast now. unload it as fast as you can. I see this all the time,people who have sanded down a car to bare metal,sprayed some crap on it,and now the entire car is rust from bumper to bumper. +if you had read what you said you did,you would not be in this situation.!!! there is tons of info on bodywork on here,as well as the rest of the internet. as much time as you probably spend on your computer wearing out pringles cans,you could have been researching body work. I'm not trying to run you down,I'm just stating the truth. you have probably ruined that car. If you had access to paint equipment right now,you could strip the car,treat the metal for corrosion with something phosphate based,and spray it with epoxy,but since you don't,and likely won't the car is done for. cancer has to treated quick in cars and people,let is spread too far,and theres no hope for eithier. if your car was a person,you would have just given it the worst case of skin cancer you possibly could have.
just to refresh your memory,here are some quotes from other board members warning you not to paint your car with cheap ass primer,and to take your time and mask things,you chose to ignore everything everyone told you,now don't say you didn't know better, we told you not to do this,now you've got a mess. you say you read everything on the board,but you didn't read what people told you just a little while before. people on here know what they are tyalking about,you ought to listen.

listen to these guys (primeraly the ones that go ragging hard on you its cuz they care enough to try and help you because they know what your instore for. so when you get your hatchie dude please listen and no more walmart brand anything dude. thats like buying experied condoms and using them. btw thats a bad thing ok?
LOL @ gas stop air pump
yeah i am prolly going to sand it down and do it right just waiting for another check for $1400 (it my dads devry money) and then get some good primer and auto paint and yup get a paint gun and air compreser from walmart and take it back when done hehe
Your going to spend more money doing it yourself then just taking it to a shop, and if you mess up you wasted all your money, Please take it to a shop and have them do it so you dont waste more time and money.Quote:

Open up the phone book and look for places, im sue there are some close. And go to all of the shops around and get prices on how much they want. What are you trying to get done? If your going for a full color change its expensive because they have to paint the door jams and all, just get it painted the original color.
lol @ this thread,cah dude screw it-sell it primed-if you gonna sell it who cares dont put anymore $$ into it than you have to-if the primer hides dents,surface rust,scratches thats fine most people that would wanna buy the car would have cried a river over stuff like that anyways
lol dude seriously sell the fing thing and if your getting 1400 dallor checks and your bitching about being broke?
you better look on ebay craigslist or what ever and find that damn hatchie
and dont drive that shit to la unless you wanna be laughed at when you take it to the shop cuz they ganna butt rape your ass for doing a primer job yourself
cuz if they even decied to take the job (liability) then they will have to sand that shit down and do everything these guys are saying.
and wtf? walmart + desert? i guess walmart are money grubbing lard asses then. hmmm NO MORE WALMART SHIT THOE BASTARDS SUCK food ok though
If you sell it you will get like what 500-700? Why put more money into it, you will spend 700 on a paint job to get an extra 100 when you sell it, thats a waste of money.
yeah i have to agree if you're selling it don't spend much on it.. instead of the paint gun why not try the $50 paint job if you're dead set on painting it
or just sell the freaking thing before your mom gets sick of looking at it haha
dude go get sum sharpie markers and get artistic on it
cover the windows in case you get to into it
and don't be thinking if i run a couple hundred feet of air hose from the gas station...hmmmm? do what i did with barney the dodge dinosaur,get some weatherbeater and a roller and roll the piece of crap. LOL. of course I did that for a joke. I was afraid if i sanded the paint,it was probably the only thing holding the car together. should have mixed some glue in that paint. :)
anyway not geting another car now :( just puting money in to this one going to look for a 200-300 crapy paint job (i know it will be shit but beter then cray primer) when my dad gets the $1400 check we are going to get a muffler and front window and fix some other engine probloms on it
