240sxxs · 09-09-2009, 06:52 PM

now to whoever that own a dark blue color that look like bw9 dark blue from like 04-06 altima and bw5 from 350z san marino blue ... cause it look so much alike..but you can only tell if both of the color into the sun.. otherwise u cant tell..cause they look pretty much 90% identical but the dark blue from altima have more paint then flake....while the san marino blue have more flake then the paint it self ... becarefull.

headup240 · 09-19-2009, 05:19 PM

Just painted my coupe. Got all my paint from Napa. $128 for paint and $70 for clear. It's Galapagos green metallic from the Honda Element.

Prepping:

End result with a lot of buffing left to do:

***CrimsonRockett*** · 09-19-2009, 05:52 PM

^That's actually not too bad for a DIY paint job.

I wish more people would do that alternative as opposed to shitty ass rattle cans and the oh-so-infamous flat black.

Yours might not be perfect, but it sure looks a million times better than shitty rattle can black.

Good job.

I'm loving that Platinum Blue Metallic.

*hOngsterr* · 09-19-2009, 06:00 PM

in that case....
i need to step up my game
lol

***CrimsonRockett*** · 09-19-2009, 06:35 PM

Yes.

Yes you do.

If you're highly considering rattle can flat black(as in, you don't give a fuck about your car), try this.

Buy a cheap paint gun at Harbor Freight, borrow a friends compressor, buy some fairly inexpensive materials(just like headup240), spend a few hours blocking your car down. Hell, use your current paint as your base. I don't recommend it, but again, if you're being cheap and don't want to fork out like $40 in primer, then go for it.

Look up DIY paint job write ups.

Your car might not have a show-winning finish, but it sure beats the living shit out of rattle can flat black.

*hOngsterr* · 09-19-2009, 06:38 PM

thats true,
been half assing it,
the rattle can flat black faded T_T,

i have access to all the tools but not the paint,
as of right now i have bigger problems to worry about the paint,
i have to make sure it's running properly.

thanks for the advice,
im sure you've given it plenty of times
