Its been 60 degrees and rainy here off & on all week
& most of last week the same. Though today after spending
time installing the mirrors in a downpour it sunshined on
me enough to get some good pics.

So we can expect your car to look like this for the next six months

So how much would you charge to paint my car (since you can't stop)?

Its a big job yes Smoothie & if you mess up its double.
Noo no Im gonna keep this paint scheme.. I like it that much
the line between the blue and the yellow turned out good enough.
I spent close to 300.00 bucks in paint nason base coat
clear coat. I did it in the driveway and partially in the
garage..took off the hood and did that in the garage
along with the sun roof & mirrors. The paint store didnt
seem to think I was breaking any city codes I asked as I was
worried about the neighbors thoughts on the subject. Boy smoothie
I had todrill out the head of the passenger side mirrors allen
bolt cuase it stripped out that had me worried. I had to use
a over sized headed bolt with a custom sized washer to get
it on as the hole was to big to hold the original. Colors are loud.
car runs good its a fun time indeed for me.

Your car looks great, I love the bright colors and the line you chose to divide the colors, of course I'm into those bold, eye catching, no one else has paint styles. I've been putting a lot of thought into what I want to do with the paint scheme for mine when I'm ready to paint that. Good job, it looks darn nice and especially considering it's a drive way job. Did you wet sand between the base coat and clear coat and again after the clear coat and then buff the car? Did you end up with any unwanted air bourne passengers in the paint doing it in the driveway?

Painting a car?

First rule is work clean. There is so much to tell it is beyond this forum.
Second make sure the body work is perfect. Any wrinkle or unsmoothed body filler will make you cry.
Third do not touch the car between the primer and the paint. Oil on your hands will make fish eyes.
do not have rags lying about. The fumes will cause the same problem.
Bugs leave them on and sand out later. You will multiple coat the car anyway.
Let the car dry for a couple of days prior to sanding. I went to 2000 grit at the end.

Yes, I painted my cars in a NY driveway. Yes, it is against the law. Yes, the neighbors complained but not to me. Both came out fine.

Paint the entire car the same day using the same paint, reducer etc. If not the car will come in different shades. We have painted cars in the driveway for the past 8 years and what I said above is a warning. Ask me how I know.

Yea Vince well you know I did the driveway thing though this last time it was in the garage in the winter with a propane tank for heat it all worked fine had heat Id warm everthing up real good and then shut the heat down paint then
with the grage door open about halfway with a summer time fan on to aide in exhausting the fumes.

Worked fine way better than the driveway.
I really like the inside idea alot.
