    I dont really have any pics but I have pained all kinds of shit, form lawn mowers to cars with a bucket of orange paint and old mop we found in the corner. Wheels, spoilers, houses, barns, guns, Heavy equipment, haul and plow trucks, all kinds of shit.

    Granted not much of that mattered on the final product like on my car, I leave the base and clear to my buddy thats been painting cars for a living for 25 years for that kinda stuff.

    started a topic The Official: What have you painted thread.

    The Official: What have you painted thread.

    Thought it would be cool to see what sorts of things you guys have painted yourselves..
    ie, bodykits, lip spoilers, wheels, entire cars, what ever you got!

    Did it turn out the way you hoped?
    Would you do it again?
    What kind of gear did you use? Rattle cans, compressor, paint brush? lol



    I'll start;

    I painted my old bottle caps and one of my mirrors as a test.
    The wheels came out prety nice.. not perfect though.
    All rattle can work.




    All rattle can work. The mirror was a success, but When I wet sanded the Orange peal off the mirror (up to 1200grit) I got horrible swirls I couldn't buff out.. (it looks worse in real life)



    I also recently painted my simmons wheels. They came out prety good but I'm worried how long it will last. (Rattle can job as well...)

















    I need to paint my mtech-1 kit soon, and I think I'll prep/primer it myself then send it off to be painted and polished proffessionally. i just don't have the equipment/knoledge to get the finish I want.
Working...
