Paint?!?!?!?!

[harwood39]

Ok, once my car gets out of the body shop it will need paint, should i just get a quick spray done on the fenders and bumper to last me a few months or so and get the entire car repainted in fall after i save up enough, or not spend the 200 to get those parts painted and just drive around all summer with a black bumper and green fenders and still get the car painted in fall?

spend the 200...dont wanna look stupid the WHOLE summer

yeah i agree with the lude on this the guy before me put a 200 dollar paint job on my car and now paint is coming off they jus t cover the last layer

[Tad218]

well hes not gettin a paintjob til fall either way so he might as well make it look good for summer. he doesnt need a great paintjob for 7,8 months

[My NOva]

buy 20 cans of flat black spray paint and paint it yourself...the whole car. I'm serious.

u would be looking at maybe 79.99 - 99.89 so it will be cheaper both ways buying paint and paintn

i was thinking about doing the flat black thing with spray paint right before i got in my wreck anyways, i might do that. Plus than if i want to respray the entire car later on it would save me money. This is goin to require a poll. I just dont know how flat black would look on that car.

Ok. I just talked to the parentals and they actually think its a good idea to paint it flat black like that. i am goin through with the flat black. Just need to know what color flat black. Semi-Flat Black or Ultra Flat Black. Here is a link to the color chart.

We painted a car ( The VTEC waggon with neon's if you guys rember it from Fargostreet meets ) Flat black in one night, it took.

10 cans of primer
15 cans of black paint
4 cans of clear coat <-Don't use

That came to $65 bucks

Oh yeah and if I were going to do it again, I would get some good "tips" for the spay cans. And I would also buy the plastic can holders so your hand doesn't get so tired.

Here is a pic off of HT of a civic with Krylon Semi-flat black paint.

Looks good,

From a distance, but realy Holden anything is better then multi color. Go flat black for sure.

You would both be a little phat, and flat black
