good paint job, dump the car.

nelsonr31 05-25-2009 11:19 PM

WOW nice job, maybe I should have you do my teg.

patrick3319 05-25-2009 11:37 PM

wow looks like a really nice job there! I have a question for you tho. I know its not about painting, but since your a painting guy, whats the easiest way to blend/match old paint to new paint. (I know for a fact it won't be shiney and match like new), but I mean to get minor scratches possibly some of the fade... just clay bar and polish or?

DOHCnoTEC 05-26-2009 08:23 PM

well it totally depends on which route you take really.
are you actually painting it with a gun and base clear? or are you just using a color match in a can?

Well parts of the car were repainted at a body shop. So now I want to somewhat match/brighten up the old paint to the new paint, clean up any minor scratches and what not, i'm assuming a good polishing?

DOHCnoTEC 05-27-2009 05:47 AM

ok lol im not getting what your asking lol.
you already had the painting done at a body shop and it doesn't match or shine to great?
or your planning to do it yourself but are affraid to do so cause it might not match or have factory shine?

just trying to find out your current situation to help you with an accurate answer, sorry im just confused lol.

patrick3319 05-27-2009 04:52 PM

lol alright the front bumper, rear bumper, rear quarters and hatch have all been REPAINTED by a body shop. Now the doors, front fenders, and roof are all stock ORIGINAL paint. So I want to bring up a shine and get rid of scratches to the ORIGINAL panels that were NOT repainted. (on the doors front fenders and roof).

DOHCnoTEC 05-27-2009 08:25 PM

ya you can give a good wet sand and polish, clay bar wont harm anything either if you wanted to do so.(you shouldn't really need to but up to you).

and a good wax job of course.

that help Lol. sorry was really confusing haha.

patrick3319 05-27-2009 11:22 PM

haha its all good. my bad for not being more clear. but you suggest to wet sand first and than to polish it up nice? I have a guy who said if he buffs it that it should turn out pretty nice and get rid of most of the crap and bring the shine back, I was just wondering if buffing should be where I should head first.

DOHCnoTEC 05-28-2009 05:43 AM

try the clay bar first and see with a good wax. then i say last resort to wet sand and polish. you could also just polish, dont really need to wet sand it tho.

patrick3319 05-28-2009 03:45 PM

alright, sweet! thanks for the info/advice!

BoSsMoN 07-24-2009 07:08 AM

How long does this take to do for you and do you paint in a shop I'm just curious. It is really good looking work thumbs up from me.

DOHCnoTEC 07-24-2009 06:48 PM

honda guy - i texted you.

bossmon - no i do it all in my shed/garage/barn. what ever you want to call it lol.
i do everything from home.
i quit my fulltime job the other day so i guess i can do it full time from home for now till i find another one lol or just pickup in business here.

BoSsMoN 07-24-2009 09:45 PM

When I save up some more extra money I will come pay you a visit :D.

SOR 07-27-2009 09:50 PM

are you able to colour match?
i have a red to sunset orange flake paint that i would like on a different front end, sideskirts and rear bumper. (i'm not a fan of the current body kit i that came on my car) if so... do you know a ballpark figure?
dunville is no prob distance wise. i live in vineland

DOHCnoTEC 07-28-2009 09:53 AM

SOR if you had color codes and stuff ya no problem. or if you had exact color names and stuff then i could yes. as for price range cant give you a price till i know exactly what colors are layed out. sounds like a 3 stage paint job tho.

sooner you get me the info on your paint exactly theres no problem with me getting you a quote.

DOHCnoTEC 07-28-2009 09:57 AM

oh sorry yeah as for color matching see brett's DA teg (1sickda) his build thread. thats all my color matching aswell..

did hatch, skirts, front bumper and lip, rear bumper and lip and rear quarters.

SOR 07-28-2009 10:40 AM

ok. i don't have that stuff cause the guy i bought it off of painted the car. he just told me the name and that was it. :S

DOHCnoTEC 07-28-2009 11:14 AM

should meet up sometime then and i can take a look at it then and see what i can find i guess.

SOR 07-28-2009 11:20 AM

i can see if i can get ahold of him to find out. its not an urgent hurry to get painted.
