haha, mad notes.

whoa, this sounds interesting. i've always wanted to paint my car but couldn't justify spending large sums of money on it...

interesting , i thought for sure he was full of sh!t at first, but obviously it works, itd be interesting to see it up close, and to see how long it lasts...cant hurt for 50$ i guess if your paints farked

Ive seen a guy that did this once, almost the same way but with just enamal house paint, worked the same but always required a re-polish every month Cost him nothing but time cause it was just white house full gloss enamal, pity it went caulky so ofter

lol i dare someone to do it!

man i would, if i could be bother getting my engine out without a hoist, whats the worst that could happen :P

Wow... i should do my engine bay for like $20

i'm so doing this on my daily ****ter. if i can find the parts i need i'll give it a try on the bonnet first within the month.

bugger me ild pay $500 for a good job lol

i tracked down the exact paint they used here in australia, got a couple of tins of "Sunburst Yellow" and am painting a test piece with it now. there's definately an art to it, i have started using a BRUSH instead of a roller now as it bubbles less. prep it well between lots of thin coats and it turns out quite nice. when it's got 6-8 coats on i'll buff it to hell and back and see if i can get uniform colour and shine out of it. either way, i've got leftover paint so i'll be doing my daily when i have a week spare.

doing a job like this sounds interesting, he said he did not use primer because of the elements in the paint, i'd say its deff a better idea to use a self based primer. but all worth a shot hey.... let me know if anyone is going to give it a go. and keep us updated with pics

ild pay sumone to do my car if they can do a good job

sounds ok id do it if i could be ***d

His guide says to thin it alot more which I didnt probably do enough. Its pretty glossy stuff too. And if anyone decides to spray there car with enamel using a gun just watch the overspray.. mask everything up around the car also because it is really thick in the air and sticks like crazy.
