You are way too hard on yourself. The car looks infinitely better than it did before. You are definitely going in the right direction with the paint scheme and getting used to the tools. That is nothing to be ashamed of at all.

@@dc5diego yeah I was gonna say it was a pretty heavy first coat. You kinda want to have it spray on misty so the paint is as thin as possible, but you could definitely buff alot of it out if you're still unsatisfied

Good job doing it yourself man. Not many would even attempt it. I had to make a lot of mistakes(and still do) when I dip my car and other peoples cars. I let them know straight up that I'm just a big DIY amateur and I'm still learning so there may be mess ups. It's all a learning process and your doesn't look bad at all. Keep it up!

You have to set the gun for the speed you’re moving the gun at, if you’re gonna spray in a slow motion like you did you need to set the to spray less paint, if your strokes are fast more paint, your also spraying too close and you want to mist the paint on for the first coat or two

Too many people think they need to prime their cars/trucks/etc. You don’t, you just need to scuff/sand & paint. Is it a great paint job, no. But I give you a lot of credit for trying & do what you did. At the end of the day, it’s how you learn. I like the color though.

You can ‘definitely fix those runs. Look… you can make a rattle can paint job look good if you put in the work. I’m glad you used paint and tight yourself something instead of using a wrap or plastidip. Don’t be too hard on yourself, for a first time that looks great.

@joetroy2904 Жыл бұрын

In the future, don’t get greedy and try to get all the color to show in one coat like that. Do a light coat first, it’s called a tack coat. Then do like 2 medium coats, it will have way less orange peel and their won’t be any runs!

@joetroy2904 Жыл бұрын

Also I recommend leaving it all together to paint it instead of taking it apart like that

@Operative114 Жыл бұрын

You struggle with motivation. That’s completely normal for someone your age. I was the same way. I found cutting big projects into smaller bits and doing it over time is a lot easier than trying to do it all at once and prevents burnout. As for your paint job it’s not bad all things considered. Carefully sand out the runs and buff/polish the rest. It will take your single stage paint from a 5/10 to an 8/10.
