Can a home paint job turn out ok?
 

I was thinking of painting my car, i've painted fenders before and it turned out pretty good. Has anyone tried painting a entire car in their home garage? I have the compressor, graity paint gun, air line filters, heater, vents, etc. I was thinking preping the car out side, then bringing it into the garage and installing plastic tarps on the walls and ceiling to minimize dust. Do you think it would turn out pretty good?

yup

ask 89SIHATCH?
He is the king of garage painting

if u believe in urself that u can do a good job then everything will turn out good just like ur fenders before...hehehe just a lil encouragement

cool thanks, the only thing i'm missing is a good heater, i have a couple of 220volt space heaters, i think im gonna have to get something stronger this winter.

uh.. i woudl definately think twice before painting in the garage during winter..
just me though..
You've gotta get the climate in there WARM.. and it's gotta stay warm for a while before and after you paint..
just my 2 cents.. but i'm just one of those **** people i guess..
i'de paint in the dryest heat of summer.. i figure that woudl be best for paint
just my 2 cents though.. what do i know about paint..
good luck though!

just wait till spring. you missed the boat this year

:dito:

watch out for humidity too..

It can be done, my buddy just did his himself and he doesin't have anything special, but just do it next year :thumbup:

ask rick, aka krazy civik, he done his car lots of times lmao :)

no they suck

Why not consult a few body shops out there and try renting a paint booth?

WOW, thats actually the exact colour i was looking for!!!!! how much did paint cost you?

As for painting in cold weather, isn't it true you dont really need heat to dry the paint, the hardener does that.

I am gonna be attempting a full paintjob on my car next summer :)

u can do it if u put ur back into it

Like ice cube?

or do you mean good old fashioned time and effort?

man that blue looks nice! sweet job!

ice cube owns
