$1100 for a full respray is asking for problems man. I'd do this chop but I don't have the time at the moment.
200 dollar paint job??? oh god
proper flat or satin colors cost 150 a quart minimum
if its a beater why would you get it painted?
I think the term beater is taken too generally. Beater can also mean DD for when someone doesn't want to take out the vehicle they take pride in. So they want the DD to still be presentable instead of it being an eyesore in their driveway.
Would you want to DD a car that looks like crap?
If i drove it to work and everything, i really wouldn't care as long as i had some power in the garage
A dd ain't suppose to be the best looking car around, hence why its your DD and now your show car. As long as it gets you from point a to point b, who cares what it looks like.
Bill, I believe that bagged did his respray himself for $1100 in the cost of materials.
i would really love for someone to do this shop. like said before, it will be my dd. i dont want it to look perfect and thought the flat black would be really cool. for such a bad idea, there are sure a lot of good looking flat black vehicles rollin around.
i havent decided on rims yet, but was thinking black or gun metal or any suggestions would be awesome.
the only thing that could make this cooler would be if i sprayed it with chalkboard paint then let some kids tag it weekly
When it doesn't work, make sure you post pictures up so we can all see why you shouldn't take the cheap way out.
Beater or not. I say roll it the way it is and save your cash money.
Don't confuse satin paints or flattened clears with DP90 epoxy primer. Loads of people roll primer because they know they can't afford decent body and paint work and until they can, the flat look is decent.
Most those "show" cars rockin satin finishes hardly ever get driven and rarely see UV light. I give it 2 months in the sun and it looks like a dirty chalkboard. UV rays will kill it.
Flattening agents chemically weaken clears.
