paint the accord again lawl

[Civic Accord Honda]

ok im probably going to get flamed but im used to that :P

ok im tierd of my car being a million diffrent colors and decided its time for another cheap paint job $100 or under i dont really wanna go to macco since id rather put that money in to my engine im rebuilding for it and it does not need to be perfect just better then how it is now

ok i could go with a white spray paint job fully buffed and clear coated and doing it proper so i take my time and everything ( my last white paint job came out very good were i buffed and clear coated it just never got finished)

or i could go with a quick flat black and no clear coat

heres a pic for yall who have not seen how it looks now






plesse no going off topic .

go flat black, but STILL TAKE YOUR TIME, take everytihng off like trim and such and i mean all of it,, whatever you cant get off MASK. dont get it on the intior like last time or on the tails or glass thinking you can sand it off later.. thats being dumb... just doing flat black correctly should cost aruond 100 ish for paint, masking tapes, plastic bags, and other painting suplies

[forrest89sei]

#1, Fix the problems with the car then worry about how it looks
#2, sand off the crap and pick up some REAL Automotive primer, then paint and do it right

Word. Do this first and then paint hot pink.

[Civic Accord Honda]

haha hot pink ftl!

[AccordB20A]

i went for the black. white would have been good and easy to paint but yeah

[Demon1024]

Flat black! it'll look better with your interior than white imo

[LX-incredible]

haha hot pink ftl!

It's the only color that's impossible to mess up... the worse it looks, the more of a joke it is.

I would get a cheap macco paint job or something for whatever color you go with. Rattle can just looks hokey, no matter who lays it on.

[86ccord]

alright.. go get you a cheap REAL paint gun. gravity feed or just the standard bottom feed. anyways.. learn how to mix primer and paint.. and then go for it. just take your time and google and READ alot! and get pointers and just try to teach yourself. i love doing bodywork and painting.. i love it.. its just really time consuming.. just think. take your time and it will look good. and if you feel like doing a half ass job then stop the body work and call it a day. LOL but yeah..

[Civic Accord Honda]

hmm problem with getting a paint gun is i herd electric ones suck and i dont have money for a air compresser =/ also there is no place to really paint it with a spray gun


well i decided since im doing all this body work it would be a shame to just rattel can it =/ sooooooooooooooooooooooo

im going to call some paint shops for prices so i know how much i have to save up
ether just artic white or artic white with silver flake

also going to see how much it would run to have no qutar panels installed

tractor supply, they have tractor paint about 9 dollars a gallon. You can get a quality brush, no cheapo shit, and brush that paint on. It flows out nicely and you cant see brush marks at all.
Im not voting cuz I dont like any of the choices so....

yeah i work at tractor supply and we do sell the primer and gallons of tractor, truck and trailer paint. for pretty dern cheap. but another thing. rattle can primer is good. there is nothing wrong with rattle can primer.. it just takes alot more to cover your body and you will have to put it on thick

[2ndGenGuy]

I didn't vote, because I think you should deal with your car how it is for now. Take the $50 you could have spent on some shitty paint and put it towards real tools so you can do the job right. Save up and get good shit. What difference does it make if it looks like its 1000 colors or one really shitty color?

[mushroom_toy]

DO the flat but do it right. Mask off everything sand with finer and finer grit. Primer 2- or 3 coats with rustoleum then 2-4 coats with flat black by rustoleum works best. If I were you Id take all the major panels like the fenders, and hood, etc off and spray them separately hanging in the air. If you do it right it will turn out like this, without the regular paint spray marks in most peoples flat jobs.





A good flat job WILL show lots of dust so make sure you wash it regularly. Top pics have maybe a days worth of dust on them and bottom is right after a good cleaning.
