Umm its a little messed up what can I do?

another coat u think would get rid of those finger prints


thats how it looks right now a little fuckd up but i just put it on for the time being until i got time

 

lol. sand... PRIME... repaint

 

lolz first attempt to do sumthin myself

 

 

try sanding the entire thing with some 800 grit sandpaper. should pretty much even the paint, then jus spray the entire thing with 2 more "not too thick" coats. Wait for it to dry an hour at least before putting it back in.

 

someone got a little excited....lol

 

this is what i do when something goes wrong for me. cross my fingers an hope that it'll go better next time.

 

Its not that bad....but Im doin tha same with my dads car this weekend.(I dunno why)
Did you use primer? Try no to rush and do light coats. What happened to your battery cover? When I do it, I plan to paint the engine cover, battery cover and the cover for that little box to the left.....wish me luck...ill post up the results when done.

 

did you use the right paint? sometimes chrome does that if its the wrong paint for the surface

 

i did chrome on the battery cover
n all that is gonna come off. i used high build primer and used an alumium colored high heat engine paint

 

ur right

 

so ur sayin us tht sandpaper n jus recoat it lightly wit the same paint?

 

IMO you should not have messed with it in the first place.....looks horrid to me

 

yep

 

ill do the sandin to the paint n jus recoat it afta i get it back frum the dealer for the tranny recall bringin it 2morrow

 

Maybe try letting it dry for a long time in between coats of primer / paint?

 

cmon man, stop hating on younger ppl so much. U learn from ur mistakes.

 

too much hate on this site for the yunger onez

 

everyone makes mistakes.

 

its ok, just sand with 220 grit to smooth out, (then 400 wet for best finish) . then the key to painting is MANY LIGHT COATS! dont try to do it all in 1 coat. it will never work that way. many thing coats will build and lay better and look better.. then dont get anxious to put it on. let it sit over night and dry. (you can drive the car with out it) then when fully dry install

 

I dont think so.....i love this site!

 

i would recomend not using the discount auto paint

go to your fav local body shop friend and sand down and do prep work for him and throw him 20$ or whatever to spray and clear......

i did this, and was pretty happy with results..........

 

Did you want it like this?!!??! hahaha j/p

 

ya not bad.....is that factory paint or just silver spray....
any clear coat?

looks alot better then first job lol

 

What I'd say to do. To get the look right. Be patient and put a coat on, wait an hour, proceed for 3-4 coats and let it dry overnight. You probably wanted to get it on quickly to see the new look (hence the finger prints). Just sand it and take it to a body shop. They'll get it done (airbrushed) for 20 bucks.

 

I did mine with a rattle can and 15 bucks.....

 

YES i done it..clear coatin it 2morrow 100x better than those first two pix. ill post 2morrow. No more fingerprints...haha

 

YES i done it..clear coatin it 2morrow 100x better than those first two pix. ill post 2morrow. No more fingerprints...haha

 

haha always go the nicer route you will always be satisfied.......

 

Finally resanded the paint..used engine high heat paint by duplicolor in aluminum and it came out perfect.




Basically a perfect color match in my eyes

 

Pics didn't work

 

does this work?

 

i think the host is down

 

works for me in both!

Looks good

 

Looks great!

 

niiiiiiiiice job man, looks awesome.

 

Not dissin but IMPO I dont think theres a need to do anything to the engine cover. It looks great shined up and also matches everything else when its black but will say second time came out much much better.

 

I give you prop's for trying. Dont let the hate discourage you. Remember If you screw up these guys on the forum know what they're talkin bout and will help you. ( at least i hope so) :blaze:

 

can you put like a gloss coat on top or just get a glossy paint. to give it that shiny look?

 

i just used an aluminum color engine paint rated at 500 degrees. no glossy coats it was already bling blingin
