dam man that looks really good... how hard was that to do?

Heres something else I did, did this last week so it has no place in my day to day schedule i got going on in the OP so ill just post it here:
Since all the metal on this car is yellow, I had to do something to get rid of the yellow inside the trunk. I decided to spray it with undercoating. Its black, prevents corrosion, and helps sound deaden. I can use more, i really only got one coat on it, but this is easy and will serve more of a purpose then if I just spray bombed it or painted it. I also got some carpet cushion from the house were building, and that stuff is great sound deadner, its just like the OEM stuff found behind some of the panels in the cobalt, like whats stuck on the floor of your trunk in your spare tire well and on the underside of your trunk floor mat. Im gonna tape that up behind any door panels and interior panels that dont have it. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52...e007/002-8.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52...e007/005-5.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52...e007/008-5.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52...e007/009-5.jpg

Hey you never mentioned what kind of paint you guys shoot
|
Ill be spraying wanda base and i dont know what brand the clear is? it was awhile when i put it all together. We dont spray waterborne where im at yet, im lucky
|
How much would one pay to get the trunk shaved/painted? Ballpark is welcome.
|
man its tough for me to say bro, i dont work in a body shop so i have no idea. materials arent that much, its just what there gonna charge for labor thats hard to judge. Maybe like 200-300 bucks?
|
Most people on here have talked around the 250-350 range I believe.
I did mine for under $20. Includes everything, metal, bondo, sandpaper, primmer, base, clear, compound, glaze, tape, masking paper, etc. Granted I got mine done in about 3 hours from pulling in with the spoiler on, to leaving with out. Needless to say I have to redo it. If I took my time it usually takes a full day or so. |

If you think about it welding everything in is less then a dollar. I just used scrap metal.
Bondo is about $15 a gallon, I used like one scoop of it. $1 give or take. Sand paper is about $80 per roll. Used about $2 Prime used about 5oz. K38. $3 Base used about 2oz. $5 Clear 9oz $9 Compounds I buy are in gallons so maybe I used a couple dollars. So yea, right around $20 Granted I probably used a little bit more of everything and just wasted it, but using a Devilbis PRI and a Sata RP which have a pretty good transfer percentage, decently accurate. |

Haha yea, I am not talking about the average guy in this case.
I have over $1000 of paint products in my room. Buying in bulk if you can, saves you a lot of money. Only thing for a lot of guys is the catalyst, 2 weeks is not a lot of time to use it all. |
what's the color and name of it you used on the rims? ?Those look sick
|
that orange design looks sick though

Im going to be experimenting with the brake calipers. One guy tells me that you NEED high temp paint, and he keeps telling me different kind of caliper paints to get and whatnot. A more experienced guy tells me modern paints will hold up just fine on calipers, and paint them just like a piece of metal by sanding, etch prime, prime paint etc. So ill be spraying them with the same material as my car and we'll see how they hold up, I doubt ill find an orange caliper paint that would be close to my car color |
g2 will color match for you or atleast get something close.
|
The spoiler looks great!
|
that does look quite sexy
|
thanks guys :)
|
What is the spoiler actually made out of? Did you buy one and glass it on or is it all a one off?
Your work looks real good either way. Good job. |
