sub $500 will never ever get you an acceptable paint job, unless you are forgetting about the free usage of a paint cabin, sanding material, knowledge about painting, and tons of work. Eventually a full wrap will be way easier to pull, but you won't get anywhere near "acceptable" with less than 2000$ in your pocket. The 500$ paint job is the same as the 800$ engine rebuild or the 1500$ engine swap; keep dreaming boy, life will teach you the real value of these things.

Frankly that is the third post i have read from you, and they all seem to come from the mind of a 15 year old boy that just spent 10 years in a room with no actual contact with the real world. Dropped from health school to go mechanical engineering ? You sure don't show the right mindset for any of these jobs.

TL;DR: grow up, and do something about that Dunning-Kruger syndrom.

AF is modern term your average bro uses to shorten the term "AS FUCK"

To use it in a bro context, " hey bro I just got done cartoon wrapping my front left fender only because hoonigan!"
"bruh thats mint AF !"


Also I suppose I should clarify on that rusty bozo style hatch, despite every commenter thinking its the finished product and spewing "bruh this is clean AF!" "#hoonigan" and linking all there bro's about how great it is. The owner told me it isn't even close to being finished, and that he plans on painting it (in reply to my "you guys are all a bunch of ain't care dipshits if you think this is clean" post), so I suppose we'll see, still the way the 240 scene seems to attract so many dipshit bro's is doing it wrong

I think that could look a lot better without the huge fender vents, and some decent wheels

Yeah, the intent of the "vents" to tie the two body lines is a nice touch, but ehh.
Paint, better wheels & stance, and I'm interested in the end result.(though it seems photoshopped)
Curious as to how the rear would look with the bumper shaved down like that.

I get why it was there, but I feel it doesn't suit the s14 chassis. Or at least in that cars current state. I feel this car could be really cool when done. Definitely better than the s14 RB kit anyways

This fucking generation (mine, technically) still believes that they can hide behind the DuHHh wE CaN'T aLL bE RiCh DURRrrRr argument. I'm a fucking E4. My pay is fixed and I can't get overtime or a second job. I save up, I buy, I enjoy. I'm no fucking different from anyone else.

You could also use a credit card. It's a great way to build credit.

The point is that kids aren't willing to wait. They want that Insta-like, Insta-eFame from Instagram all the time.

500$ paint job? I bet it looks horrible.. Well I don't know USA prices, but in Finland you get good paint job for 1500$ and if you want flake it is 2200$

Not sure why you and dizzariot are trying to argue with me by essentially making the same argument except at the higher end of the spectrum.

Re read what I have said. That guys white s14 looks decent. It is one solid color and does not look like any of the crappy paintjob cars in this thread.
After re reading that, look up the words decent and acceptable. Then look up the meaning of the phrase high quality. You seem to have those synonymous.

To me, having a car in one color is the absolute bare minimum (decent/acceptable for short)
You are using the word acceptable as if I am talking about a high quality paint job. I know what they cost. Thanks for displaying your general knowledge. Thanks for telling me prices of radiators and suspension parts. I guess all those receipts that I have are actually just dreams.

"Frankly" nice way of trying to show your maturity by starting shit on the internet, oh hey look were in the same boat. When is your math test?

I posted all that information in the other thread to give background on why it really doesn't matter to me. I wanted other people to also post their own background and provide some opinions and I would try and make some correlation between the two. They way you seem to act mature and try to lecture me about growing up (since im a 15 year old boy) doesnt match up with the way you grab at anything you can to try and insult me (the same way a 15 year old kid does)

You're trying to make fun of me because I changed my major in college?
Did you go find some syndrome on webMd to try and insult me with?


I should thank you really, seeing how a 35 year old is flexing his "vast" automotive knowledge while at the same time showing lack of reading comprehension has reiterated to me how I should focus more on my studies than trolling the internet. Maybe that is a little harsh since Acceptable has a different meaning to you as it does to me. The type of nonsense we see here in America has definitely lowered my standards for the general public but the definition of the word still applies.

I'm already way too bored with this. I already see this degrading with anything intellectual and factual and it is going to go down into basic name calling. You're gonna tell me I'm young and dumb and all the nonsense associated with teenage kids and I'm just gonna respond by calling you an old fart in various ways. Thank you gentlemen sincerely. I am shoo'd off the internet for the time being.

[Crazyced]

I want to paint my car and it sure as hell won't cost more then 500$, assume I already have compressor, gun, air tools and a big shop. Will it look showroom? No. Will it look decent? I think so.

Then again, compared to what? All the regional 240sx I see for sale? It might as well be considered showroom.

holy fuck this piece of shit was on CL awhile back in Mass for like 3500 it makes me sad that this represents 99% of S chassis' in New England

The French guy was just making an observation. If anything your choice is commendable. Not many people have the balls to do what they love...but the way you parade it around like you're some hero to the Asian-American community for saying 'no' to your 'Tiger Parents' is very, very fucking annoying.

It's not acceptable to half-ass things when you can save up and whole- ass. You clearly fancy yourself a scholar. I may be simplifying things too much for your genius to comprehend. I'd also like you to observe how my response isn't a fucking college thesis-length exposition.

...and for fuck's sake. I'm fucking 26. I said it here because everyone thinks I'm an old man.

Go out tonight. Get a beer. Enjoy it with a nice slice of humble pie and come back here to talk shit without your rose-colored lenses.

Jealous of those costs.

You know what, Juucso? I don't think I hate you. I just hope your tastes change. You're too nice to hate. I'm sorry.

OT:

[SRS BZNS]

If that is a paint job and not a wrap that painter deserves a hearty pat on the back. The detail there is insane

Those are "starting" prices. How much does good flake paint job cost in there? Mine will be with flake and the price is going to settle somewhere in 2500-2800usd.

Well it will, but not with my S13 project.. Sorry

Can you goobers quit bickering over nothing and start posting quality content?

Like this FRS that transforms from sunk to still sunk. Wouldn't have had that problem if he had just bought $800 spacers like the real ballerz of Zilvia.
