painting

Hi everyone, In this post i'll show you what I've done to my ride in the past two weeks. I do custom painting for a living therefore if you got any questions, I might be able to help you out! My project car is a white 06 type s, very clean from the surface (new paint job) but underneath it all...

I took my front calipers off to paint them, I put them back on filled up the fluids but the rubber boot in the brake fluid reservoir basically won't fit on the cap or in the reservoir so I stuffed it in there and now I have no brake pressure !!! Help !!!! :laughat::firemad:mad:

Anyone done this? I have an 06 NHBP so I dont think it would look too bad. If anyone has photos of such, it would be mucho coolio! Thanks guys **NOTE** Im in the broke student crew going paycheck to paycheck to keep myself going with education, so no, im not saving to buy the special projector...

Quick question... is it fine to paint a base intake manifold? im doing this because it just looks so ugly being all whitish and all. I just want to paint it black in some high heat paint. can this be done? does it affect anything? thanxz in advance.

How much paint(Satin Silver Metallic) do I need to get for the front and rear lip? And how much do they usually go for? Thanks! I'm planning to buy the paint and ask my buddy's bro to shoot them...

Has anyone had their own experiences with painting their car? If so I have to ask, is this a decent kit? http://www.amazon.com/DeVilbiss-DV802342-DEVILBISS-802342/dp/B000KSTFJO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1368066904&sr=8-6&keywords=automotive+paint+gun Ive done some minor painting jobs, and I know...

I have a few obvious problems, and would like constructive criticism. This was my first time trying to paint any car part. So heres my problem, I ordered touch up paint, came in a can and i bought clear and primer. The lip I painted was a offbrand polyurethane lip off of ebay. Anyway the...

I tried painting my wheels not too long ago to save money for a lowering kit and exhaust system instead, but after i sanded one wheel down I tried to apply the primer and it just didn't stick. So now i have one wheel that is all scratched from sanding it down and I am wondering if I did...

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can suggest a place to powdercoat or paint a set of ITR rims i want them redone in champion ship white (NH-0), im just having problems finding a place that can get that paint code let me know what you guys think im open to suggestions

Okay, i've searched and searched and come up with nothing. But someone should definitely do a diy on how to paint tricoat. :thumbsup:

I have a question. Lets say if I were to mess up, will I have to sand it over again and repeat the primer, black paint, and clear coat process again??

im referring to the lip of the wheels. its like chrome paint, but i used to think the only way u cud do this is with black chrome and chrome. is this new, can someone talk about this, where it can be done, maybe a rough estimate. really just anything. it looks sick.

Hey guys I was just wondering for future reference, when you buy a spoiler or a lip kit, who do you take it to to get it painted? Stupid question, I know. But thanks for the help anyways! :laughing:

How much is a gallon of nhbp? Where can I order it online? How much do you have in repainting your car?

So here I have chrome finished alloy wheels on my RSX. I hate shiny rims so badly. I want to see if I can paint them. Has anyone done it here before? Is it doable? Does it come out nice or creepy? I know I have to scratch and pill off the chrome finish and then paint it. However, it is somehow...

would painting the stock rsx s rims black look good? or would that just ruin the look as it is, i dont think id have cash for new rims, plus all i would want would be something similar to what i have now but black, btw i have a dark silver rsx s 06

Can anyone give me or link me to a walk thru of painting brake calipers?

I making this thread to see what's the average cost to paint a mugen lip kit as I might be buying one from autosource this week and being on a high-school budget I want to know his much its going to cost for everything, thanks in advance :)
