It can be done I did all this in my carport. No rattlecans, nothing cheaped out on.





Fiberglassed over the tail light.










I missed a spot with black on one of the mirrors...gotta redo it..




Well I recleared EVERYTHING and painted the hood over, as well as got out all the little paint flaws. One of the fenders is still fucked up due to runs. I'm going to redo that one AGAIN(fucking clear).

Before buffing/polishing:


After buffing/polishing:




Just took these this morning.


smoked out turn signals.


smoked rear lights/shaved third brake light.



So for a budget project that I did by myself, what do you guys think? I realize its not the OMGLOOK@THAT!?!HI2U paint job, but if you want to see what it looked like before, I have pics of that too. So what do you guys think?

 

that looks pretty nice. your tail lights look realy dark. what was the total cost?

 

Awesome... looks great.

Give us some more info.

 

Good Job, looks like it turned out pretty good...

 

Looks good!

 

looks good man,

 

I wish I had the time and skills for that

 

I used a Devilbliss Gravity Fed HVLP.

Materials..damn including sandpaper/paint/primer/etc... probably around 700 bucks. (remember I didn the inside too)

The tail lights are awesome, trust me. They look really dark, but when lite up they look just as bright as the normal 240sx lights do. I mixed it up myself too They are maybe a little bit dimmer, but nonethelss noticable when on/off/braking

Thanks a lot for the compliments
You know I had no idea how to do anything when I first started this, now look at it. I would have never imagined it would look this good. Everyone who stops by cannot believe I painted it and how good it looks.
