Driveway paint job (satin black)

Lemers · 05-17-2011, 07:39 AM

OP you are a very brave man to do this to your car.

christian370z · 05-17-2011, 09:24 AM

Hmmm, respect the work but you could have spent $400 on much better things elsewhere.

thakswet · 05-17-2011, 10:10 AM

Pretty cool. I'd like to see some more pictures.

We got lucky and there really wasn't any wind or anything and didn't have any issues after wet sanding... took about 20 cans or so...and now I have to do it all again because someone keyed it into oblivion last night

Doesn't sound like a random key job, but a personal attack on your property because someone hates you.

Any ideas who it was?

Liquid_G · 05-23-2011, 10:40 AM

wow.. you sure you didn't get any overspray on a neighbors house or car, and they decided to get a little payback?

Solus · 05-23-2011, 11:20 AM

1) I dont have any neighbors noone lives in any of the places beside me... 2) The list of people it could/may have been is a pretty long one. I am kind of one of those people that you either really like or really hate... I dont think I know a single person that knows me that has a mediocre impression of how they feel about me.

hey my driveway paint job turned out great as expected too.

got my raw Ings CF splitter, after a full prep and UV coating, polished it up and now rivals bodyshop work. my neighbors came by to check out my work and could not believe i did that in my little garage using a rattle can. hahahaha. it's all in the technique.
