dude, don't respond to my :q:q:q:q anymore. You're a hypocrit about maturity, and just because you do body work for a living doesn't mean you know more than someone who doesn't. I have a whole CROWD of people in the custom paint industry, who I've been around ALOT, and gave me PLENTY of tips prior, and you're not going to educate me about anything they haven't already. I'm not some schmoe who bought a 2 gallon air compressor and a sears paint gun to paint a car in my hay barn and decided painting is just like eating cake. Painting is easy, as I said initially, before your remark about me, of which obviously proved you didn't even read what I said. So scroll back and re-read the part where I said it's all in the prep work, (block sanding etc) and that the painting is easy, especially on a 13 year old car where the guy just wants nice paint and doesn't want to pay maako or what ever the f the place is that sells hundred dollar paint jobs. I'm trying to give the guy confidence, so he'll save some cash and be prideful of his work, and you're acting like it's rocket science and you're issac f'g newton.

I wouldnt' get so pissy if everytime I said something bluntly, someone -else- didn't feel compelled to rip on my crap just because they didn't get laid last night.

Another tip to anyone painting their own hood, don't go through the factory gel coat when you're sanding. It'll blister and you'll have to have it re-dipped at a place that does boat repair, because the glue ford used on these hoods is serious stuff that wasn't set outside, and u-pole etc does NOT hold the gasses off. It will for a few months, but not forever. Trust me.
 
wow.
so how am I a hypocrit about maturity?

you insult my trade. tell me to "shut up and poke my penis back in my pants"

and I just call a spade a spade ( ie. your acting like a dick and I call you on it)

the point is up here in Canada body work and paint is trade. I spent 3 years learning it.
its not like down in there in hillbillyville where any shmuk can pick up a hammer or a paint gun and pretend that he knows what he's doing. (thats why large body shops down there in the states are known to come to canada and offer good money to trained professionals. to have them come work for them.

simply put your car may look real good, but it may also look like crap and your just full of yourself, I dont know nor do I really care, so I'm not about to drive down there to look. cuz like I said I dont really care.
like I said before I dont come to your work and critisize what you do so dont critisize what I do.

if your so insecure with yourself and your abilitise that you need to pick apart and critisize what other people do then actually I feel sorry for you.

there thats all, I'm not going to turn this into an internet pissing match.
so you dont like it than too bad,
you can keep on with the imiturity if you wish. possible make fun of my spelling or grammer, make fun of my mother or my sex life or even my sexual preference.
if you fell the need then thats fine go ahead,
but I'm done.

to the origonal poster sorry for the hyjack.

but my advise to you would be save your money and get it done right the first time. that way you will be happy with a well done job and you wont have to have it redone a short time down the road
 
sorry 2 more things

your only half right.
yes if your burn threw the gel coat your can get blistering.

but you do not need to "have it re-dipped at a place that does boat repair"
with proper materials and repair prosedures you can fix it without it showing or blistereing in the future.

but of course you would know that if you where a trained profesional
 
chickenviii thanks for the comment, it really is a pretty truck. which is why it does how it does at shows. and to you two painter pros. i dont appreciate you making fun of those who paint with a 2 gallon tank and sears gun. i got a 1.5 gallon tank and a TSC suction gun and i painted both of those. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. OK REALLY IM JUST FUKING WITH YA. but seriously i dont care who can paint better then who, all that matters is that you can produce a good product and make it last.
 
please dont misunderstand my argument.
I'm not saying that I can paint better than others.
I just get angry when people act like the trade that I have worked hard to learn and excell at is an idiot trade that any moron can do.
those trucks look really good, if you painted them and all you heard was people say, whats the big deal any one can do it. or "any one with a steady hand and a small brain can do that"
it would probably start to annoy you.
after that comment was made I was just trying to make a point about karma.
if you piss people off with off the coller coments then they may not help you when you need it.
thats when the imaturity started.
 
i know what you were saying i couldnt agree more, lots of know it alls are always better at your job than you are. i just had too add my two cents. all is good
 
Wow opened a small can of worms huh, Well I love abe way to much to try this myself. That is why I was thinking about pulling the bumpers off and getting a piece done then anouther then hopfully the rest, Lots of useful information as alway thanks guys

Rocket science isn't performed by anyone who hasn't passed a calculus test :q:q:q:qhead. And if you're such a good bodyman you wouldn't disagree on the hood. Fool.

As with anything, practice makes perfect.. If you're good with hand-eye coordination, don't be afraid! Materials to paint a mark viii- $600 bones max. Wetsanding goes a long way, even if you're a professional, you still have to wetsand. 5 coats of clear and you won't have to worry about sanding through it.. .

A clean facility, a good air compressor, and a steady hand, if you are lacking any, have someone else help. But if you have those, try it yourself! And carry some pride with it. Without pride you're worthless.

Good luck.

LMAO
your a treat.

I have fixed SMC panels before and not had issues with bubbles.
its all in proper technique and repair materials. (pretty sure I said that already.)

and if you claim that any one can paint but then need 5 coats of clear and to polish the hell out of it in order to make it look good. then I guess its not as easy as you lead it to be


may I ask what you do for a living?
 
i cant believe how many threads get out of hand on here lately. if the guy doesnt want to try it himself, then leave it at that, he said he doesnt want to try it, and i dont blame him because once again its not easy. you cannot come on here and tell someone who has never painted in his life, that with a steady hand and a whole ton of clear he can do it, thats what people at maaco say. if he doesnt want to do it himself, he doesnt want to do it, why is this post still going on and on about who does what and the name calling. get over it
 
So true Jamie, I have never painted anything except with a spray bomb, I dont have an air compressor, nor a paint gun, I am just a reg dude with a mark 8 I keep it clean, tuned up, swept out, I like tinkering with small problems like pulling headlights cleaning inside and out and glueing back, changing sunroof motors, Cliping my check headlight wires stuff like that. I love my car ABE way to much to try to cobble up the paint job
