I can't remember lol it was almost 6 years ago. I promise you didn't run across me if you were down here because I never leave where I work and I am essentially in a vault all the time. Our MOS school is up there because EWTGLANT is there. I am a war planner there are only like 350 of us in the entire Corps

Not really a big fan of the primer look.... and to do this to a $30k sports car takes some massive cajones. At the end of the day, its your car to do with as you wish.
I just don't see how I could personally justify spray painting a fairly new car to save a few bucks. If you can consider $30k cheap sports car, $3k for a wrap should be a drop in the bucket for you.... plus you could always take it off. You could have also wrapped it yourself. I dunno. It may look better in person. Just my $0.02.

I see what you are getting at. Keep in mind this is Satin not Matte and doesn't look so primer-like. I did it cheap and love it and if need be and I want to sell it for some reason I can't forsee then I will pay to have a real paint job done on it and have it painted back to factory color and it's no big deal.

One has to call to question the durabilty of "off the shelf" spraypaint on a car that battles the elements everyday. At any rate, a very ballsy project to take on and I think it looks great. Hope you don't have to touch up the whole car every 2 weeks! |

Ok, now that I'm not looking at the photos on my Iphone I can see the details a little clearer.
There are some areas that do not look uniform and will need to be repainted but overall not too shabby. The area next to your drivers door handle and the passenger fender area show some signs of uneven paint placement common with anything that is spray-painted. |

i like the idea, but i know a buddy of mine that did the exact same thing to his black f150 tailgate. he wet sanded afterwards and everything and it looke pretty ok... at first... about 2 car washes later it looked like a spray painted tailgate..

That is exactly what happens. The only way a satin black paint job will hold up is by using a high quality automotive paint with flattening agent mixed in the clear.

Also when i redid my friends bumber outside years ago, cost myself a lot of time when an effing piece of grass from his neighbors lawn landed on it. Edit:Also THIS is constructive criticism, not trying to stop you from doing it, just giving you some info that will make it easier/better in the future Also make sure you watch your temperatures when you apply certain paints/putties as some will not cure correctly if the temperature or humidity are outside of the manufacturers specs, or with direct sunlight. Be careful about the time of day and weather when you paint outside.
