Twistedrx7 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Anyone know of a business locally that does this, and can come give an estimate on site? Im looking at having the entire car blasted inside and out, i want to get rid of the dual color situation going on and make it look professional.

Rotarded1647545491 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 No matter how you prep and paint it, that front fascia will still look like a largemouth bass... Kidding. Are you planning to stick with the Competition Yellow Mica color? If so be prepared for a really expensive paint job. The paint alone will run over a grand. Then add more for the the labor of a multi-coat process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hey Mike, Come on do you think i would really leave that one there lol. Yes, I plan on using the CYM color still. I know OEM paint is expense and so is the process, But i figure if im going to do it i might as well do it right the first time. Im going to probably pick up those sideskirts from you here shortly after i offer you a price ha. That is if you still have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have to dig up a number for capital towing. When I find it I will put it up here for you also. I should have put that in my original post. I will also let you know how much the paint really cost on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 thanks a lot, it is close to a grand for paint and i think 400 for clear...i dunno, i guess we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 No problem Yeah a high quality clear can run anywhere from 300 to 500 for the kit. I can usually get clear for in between 100 and 300. Paint I can get some pretty good deals on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW my cost is 300 for the base and 300 for the pearl.[/QWhat about the other 2 steps you skipped? Basing the car in white before the yellow, and the clear? Important steps, yes.

Oh that's right, there isnt much overspray in a room with little to no ventilation. Better yet, the clearcoat surely wont stick to the car sitting 10ft away uncovered. The mica has no yellow, the "high solids" is damn near transparent, so if you use white sealer you will be fine. Just like painting a House of Kolor neon color, it just works better with white underbase, so that is why the hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I understand all that. Ive been painting cars long enough to know. The mica is tinted. Therefore for this application it would have a tint of yellow. Being is has yellow pearl in it makes it appear yellow. I understand what you are saying about it being almost trasnparent. If it had nothing in it, it would be. I have also Sprayed House Of Kolor. I know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
