That seems like a good try.

Lemme know how it comes out...I just might have to do it to my Jimmy.

CHAOS · 12-01-2006, 04:21 PM

id have to see something like that in person to believe it.

yellow2000S/R · 12-01-2006, 04:23 PM

There are a lot of sites that show you this. There is one Ive seen a few times of a old Charger painted orange

This is true, I am home in PA right now and my parents neighbor happens to have a 70's pickup that he painted in a similar way. And I couldn't believe how good it looked so I went researching a little and found a couple sites and How-to's. It is something I would do to a beater without thinking twice.

lots of honda guys do this also. the pictures ive seen show the paint turn out very good. if u need any more links let me know i believe theres a 200 sum page thread on honda-tech

Intercooled T · 12-01-2006, 04:54 PM

turned out ok, but in person it probably doesn't look as good. good effort nonetheless!

ToyotaTat · 12-01-2006, 11:44 PM

interesting

dt98gsr · 12-02-2006, 12:01 AM

There is a kid On Team-Integra and Honda Tech that did this to his Integra and it seemed to have turned out well also. But like chaos311clarity said I would really like to see a roller job in person.

Vypurr2 · 12-02-2006, 12:02 AM

I wish I had a buffer and an electric sander so I could re paint my beater

igo4bmx · 12-02-2006, 12:10 AM

there is like a 100 page thread on honda-tech

OutOfStock · 12-02-2006, 02:00 AM

Yea its a huge thread on H-T. I think the best results are when people paint the car white. I guess because it dosent have to look so shiny. The orange charger did come out quite well

drew · 12-02-2006, 02:03 AM

i can't even paint my house without it looking ****ty so i wouldn't even try my car

BlackBulletTSi · 12-02-2006, 02:10 AM

yea this ****s awesome and when i get a peice of **** car I'll paint it this way

GeforceXtreme · 12-02-2006, 02:40 AM

I got a few fenders laying around, going to give it a test run. If it works out, will strip off the junky Maaco paint job on my beater, and paint that while I am driving my newer car.

dstarmotuner · 12-02-2006, 03:36 AM

I don't doubt it willl look good but your looking at lots of labor. If u dont have all the right equipment. Still say best best is prep car ur self and do a macco job fdr $250.

Spocknasty · 12-02-2006, 11:53 PM

I've researched the hell out of this. The paint fades fast. For the time you will invest putting a coat on, waiting, putting a coat on, etc and then wet sanding, you would have been better off working to pay for a cheap Maaco job.
