MODS, GET IN HERE.

I tried to type this while also trying to pay attention to my calc class. Long story short I spend more time on the forums than I do with calc. It's a bad thing.

If I were you, I'd ditch the spray cans. Having owned a car that was rattle canned, the paint didn't last 6 months with prep. Every time I went through the car wash, it would flake off. Take the time and do it somewhat decently even if you don't want a show quality job, especially if your father is an experienced painter. I think it would be better than having to keep respraying spots when they fall apart.

Agreed.

[Rowleym]

Doesn't the clear coat make all the difference? I was going to use professional clear coat.

Prep work makes the difference. Using quality materials helps a lot as well.

Prep work makes the difference. Using quality materials helps a lot as well. Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.

This. Spraypaint looks "ok" at best, for a week, MAYBE. Then it falls to shambles. A clear coat won't do shit to spray paint. Do it right. Hell, if your dad doesn't want to paint it, I've got a full car paint booth. I'll spray it for you. But that costs $$

[Rowleym]

Haha. I guess I might just return my paint and oreilys and see what they say.

Do it fag. Stephen works there, So does Eric Feder. As long as it's unopened and you have a receipt you should be good.

get the good paint and clear coat.

I only remember one of the brands I used. it was transtar I believe. Both of the paints came from Britain/Europe

[Rowleym]

Haha I know they do. I go there all the damn time. But thats kind of the reason I don't want to return it. But I guess I will.

[TurboJake]

Nope! Dead E30 smack dab in the middle of the garage too. Need to move it to the back so I can park in it.
