Spray cans......oh god. I'd rather get Stevie Wonder to paint my car!

PSI250 · 08-09-2005, 08:25 PM

If your gonna spray it all with touch up paint cans, why not use a paintball gun, more fun!

Would both prob have the same quality, lol.

mcflux · 08-09-2005, 09:34 PM

it sure will be dynamic! changing with time & sunlight that is :P

LOL @ spraycans, that's gold ;) Rob, good call mate!

The words "good paintjob" and "cheap" don't go in the same sentence unless you A: Have a best mate that is a spray painter, or B: Are able to do a good job yourself.

If your getting someone to do it all for you, for a good job it'll cost at least a few grand. There is so much work involved, no one's gonna touch it for a couple of hundred unless it's a quick blow-over but that'll crack and fade in a few months.

If your existing paint isn't too scrached up and just a bit dull, your much better rubbing it back with 1500 wet and dry and giving it a good buff. You'll be amazed how well it will come up if you use the right materials.

i wasn't going to respray the hole car, i was onlu fixing one scratch but i found the colour of the new paint to be compleatly different.

mcflux · 09-09-2005, 11:04 AM

bwahahaha this gets better & better!!!

:

:

Why not find some matching paint then?!? I'm sure finding one can of matching paint would've been easier than 200 cans of a different white

:

And if you couldn't find one, I"m sure an auto detailer (panel beaters? spray painters?) could mix up the right colour for you.

I can't believe this started from one scratch

*EDIT* so what happens when your car gets scratched again? :monkes:

when i went to get the can i cheacked the the paint code on the car and it said H for Dynamic White the same as my dads car so i got a can of Dynamic White and it looked compleatly different,we try some under my dads car boot lid and it was compleatly different as well

LUXO_8 · 09-09-2005, 05:27 PM

every so often there is a post on the forums that, although not a joke as such, is truely hilarious....

this, my friends, is it!

CruizinEB · 09-09-2005, 05:31 PM

i dont know why i bother telling you guys anything, to only made out to be a idiot

mcflux · 09-09-2005, 05:50 PM

Ahh mate don't worry about it... You're just so damn funny!

Damo · 09-09-2005, 05:53 PM

aww settle down mate, it's just a really weird and silly idea to paint your whole car with spray cans. If you're happy with it though thats all that matters.

:

Don't forget to put some pics up when it's finished, also out of curiousity how many cans have you used up so far ?

So far i have used 16 cans and i wasn't plaining on on painting the whole car only one spot

XRated · 09-09-2005, 06:16 PM

Hahahahhahahahahahahahahah thanks for the laugh

XA_GT351 · 09-09-2005, 09:58 PM

Good luck

I suppose he does an alright job for the price, Gets alot of dust in the paint though, nothing a buff wouldnt fix, Don't go to him if your fussy, he will be a let down,

He was a forum guy. Last I heard he buggered off, so I don't know if he will return. There is a thread on that AU somewhere.

LUXO_8 · 10-09-2005, 11:17 AM

yeah he was a fairly regular member, then one day posted up a huge rant and never came back...... shame, his car was awesome

ned · 10-09-2005, 12:23 PM

Suscribing to the thread incase I feel lonely and need something to cheer me up one day. LOL @ spraycans!

Jason[98.EL] · 10-09-2005, 09:02 PM

coulor is f1 ( but its been respraye a dif tone i think )

tommo74 · 11-09-2005, 08:09 PM

A few years back i had an xb coupe(6 cylinder!) which was white and i painted cobra striping all over it just using my eye with spray cans
Trouble was it had the gs striping around the wheel arches and down the doors aswell...then i added more stripes with the wrong colour(toyota dark blue!)
Point is eb cruizez car is DEFINATELY gonna look better than my old coupe!
ahhhh memories!

LUXO_8 · 11-09-2005, 08:20 PM
