Not Silver anymore, LOTS OF PICS!

I in no way claim to be a professional, after all im only 18. So there are a few mistakes and a few areas that need touching up but it'll all be done in time. For only being my second car i've painted i think it turned out pretty decent.

Maybe it just the photos or my cars paint has just faded a bunch but that looks really dark. I like it. I can't wait to respray mine. It must be nice having the means to paint your own car. Did you wetsand it?

Looks good for having as little experience with a gun as you say you do.Little tricks come with time.

What brand materials did you use?What clear?

Well it wasn't high quality paint I only spent 250 on paint and clear. And I'll be wet sanding the entire car believe me lol. It is really dark but in the sunlight it's like orgasmic.

Looks good buddy, the silver is cool, but this new paint job is better, you'll love it even more. Make sure when you wet sand, don't go too hard, do it in the sunlight, wipe off the water, check for orange peel, so cut to much clear off. Also use a mini rubber block, make sure it's flexible so you can go with the curves. Start with 1500 then go over it with 2000 grit. Work in small areas at a time, use soap to prevent clogs, if you feel any junk under the block, stop sanding, dunk it in the water, and start again. I really hope you have a DA buffer or else you'll have to buff by hand!

Honestly, I would have kept the wing and upgraded to a type r or a mugen

Looks good man wish I knew how to paint lol

Well I have some bad news guys. I SCREWED UP. I'm so pissed at myself. This color is so dark that in the paint booth and inside it looked gorgeous( aside from the orange peel I had on the hood). Well today I got it all back together and pulled it out into the sun light only to realize..... There is one less coat of paint on the fenders and front bumper (face palm). I'm to the point of tears. So now I have to sand and buy more paint :/. Total rookie mistake and it blows.
