I made a post ealrier but my computer was acting crazy and I see it didn't post The paint is called a "factory pack" IIRC. Comes with everything you would need for your paint to spray it. You can only get basic colors.... red, blue, white, etc... nothing metallic i dont think, and no pearls. I think you can get them at Oreillys that sells paints also. I'll check with the guy again to get the official "name of it" I know several guys who have used this method and are very happy with it
i think the car came out pretty nice. a shiny set of wheels will really make a difference. congratulations.
Why wont it let me attacth my pics. i have tried to attach my before pics, and it wont work this is the 4th time?
$300? Paint and materials cost more than that. My friend with a body shop did the paint and bodywork on my Mav. It cost me $3000 and he had it a year, squeezing it in between the more profitable insurance jobs. And that was 10 years ago.
Lets see in 1993 I painted "The Bad Mav" Grabber blue Single stage with some mild rust repairs. 2k. I got what I paid for. It was fair but as I transform the "Badmav" in the "War Machine" I will be upping the ante. I am learning to paint so I dont have to pay 3-5k. That's the qoutes I am getting this time around.
Heres some before pics, theres alot more damage than can be seen. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g109/CHIP4117/P1000105.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g109/CHIP4117/bumoy.jpg well next is the interior. I need to fix the rusting floor, its only on the drivers side, then get new carpet, a new dash, Probally get vinyl seats,stearing wheel, a stereo and sound system. Heres some pics of the crapy interior. http://mmb.maverick.to/attachment.php?attachmentid=17912 http://mmb.maverick.to/attachment.php?attachmentid=17911 http://mmb.maverick.to/attachment.php?attachmentid=17910 http://mmb.maverick.to/attachment.php?attachmentid=17909
So when u guys do your seats do u take it to a place or do it your self? how much does it usually cost?
That looks really good, especially for the price. I was talking to a guy to do my bodywork, and finishing touches, and we were talking about 6-9 MONTHS of my car in his possession. I found that reasonable. If I did it myself and took my time to do it right, I was looking at counting YEARS, not months. So if an "expert" was doing it and it took just under a year, I would think I would be getting a good job done on it.
