It looked decent with the black only before the red paint and dragon were added. I think you should rewind back a step and it'd be good again.

all the bashing needs to stop, now.
while it may not be executed very well, at least he had the balls to try somthing diffrent, which is alot more than i can say for most of you who are posting this crap.

I like it, Some people paint their stuff flat colors and think its the best in the world and if thats what they like than it is but at least you got some color it jumps right out at you when lookin at it a real eye catcher i say u did a good job. The front bumper needs a little more smoothing but other than that nice work man.

eye catcher for sure bro.. i like! it's unique!

thx presure......exactly at least hes done something.....just cuz its not what ur use too, does not mean it sucks....the cars got flash without it looking ricey...it looks good...if u dont like it fine but dont go spitting that he was wrong to do it

I just want to add in that when you say "what do you think" in your initial post, please be open to replies that are both positive and negative. Just because it isn't constructive or positive doesn't mean that you didn't ask for it all along. You requested feedback and you are going to get it. If you want positive replies only, post something like "tell me how much you like it!" That way the only way you will know if no one does like it is if no one posts.

On that note, people can do what they want with their cars because they are just that. Theirs. Still, fi you ask for opinions, don't expect strictly rave reviews.

that dont mean people have to be assholes about it.
there are ways of saying you dont like somthing, without being a jackass bandwagoner, like most of the people whos posts i deleted in this thread.

How much do you really have to wait between coats, i have heard its bad to wait too much, what was your real experience...

Primer to primer

primer to base

base to base

base to clear coat

clear coat to clear coat.

depends on the product your using.
most call for a 5-10 flash time between coats. i give 20-30 minutes for primer/sealer to dry hand slick, and ~15 minutes for base.
clears are a little more tricky, some call for 3-5 minutes between coats, some longer, and some are wet on wet.

yea really....(this post is not directed at you mstoochn but to the ones saying these things).....the way a 6gc should look? ..... what? holy whats wrong with you ppl what makes you think a 6gc can only look like a 6gc if the 6gc looks like a 6gc......really! so what is it that you THINK a 6gc should look like........4 head lights? one color paint? hatch? coupe? vert? skirts? 16in rims? 17s maybe 18s? just like ur car? not like ur car? like my car? like this guys car who just did an amazing paint job? hood pins? no hood pins? like your neighbors car? maybe like the car you trashed in highschool? your moped? you say it doesnt look like a 6gc becuz it dont look like your tricycle?.....maybe i should post in every topic to everyone and break there emotionless hearts that there 6gc isnt a 6gc becuz it dont look like mine.

when your opinion was called for im pretty sure he didnt want the disrespectful remarks.....if you dont like it then fine say so get off your tricycles and your big wheels and show respect when posting

hey guys and gals been a little busy, oh and got in a car chase two drunk rednecks at 4 in the morning after work and pulled a beautiful J-Turn for the first time. anyway thanks for the comments. yeah ill take the good with the bad i did ask for your opinions but being an ass about it, you must understand, will discourage others from wanting to post any of their stuff and they might have some great ideas but just need a little guidance. be honest but not soo blunt were supposed to be a community. but i am glad to see some of you like it. yeah im 20 and i like crazy if you knew me you would understand. yes the front and back bumper are coming off and being replaced by proper invader kit. no im not taking it back to just black i want to pursue a carrier in this and like i said before i knew nothing about what i was doing but i loved doing it everyone should try its fun as hell. the times i used for painting, about 20 min between same coats and i left it overnight to add the next coat. and i hope it inspires some of you to think outside the box a little, when you really step back and look at things you realize there is no real way that any car should look except your way.

glad you came back with a positive aditude..good job......good speech..........and have fun and enjoy

I kinda like it. Specially the dragon. I expect some clearcoat to get on there. I'm not the flashly type for my own personal vehicle, but that definately shows your desire to put hard work into your vehicle. I can apprecaite that.

did you sand the basecoat, the lady at the counter told me you cant..

yeah i sanded every coat, it may look smooth but when you feel the car after painting its rough, not horribly so but after a light wet sand with 1500 grit you can really feel the difference and truly get a smooth finish. you can see little white spots and streaks all over where you wet sand but when you clean the car off and go to the next step they disappear. although this is just my experience.

your car looked better without that stripe,
im going to be spraying mine soon, how much paint did you use?
did you use a spray gun or was it rattle cans?

I liked the black, personally I don't like racing strips, I understand I put that on my car, but I just wanted to see how it looked, it looks OK, but i'm gonna finish the whole car off in black soon, However, very good job on the dragon and the blood effect. Where did you get your paint?

wow I'm actually really digging it. Only thing I would say is a darker red would work better and you definitely need more clear coats on it but other than that, nice job. I'm a big fan of doing unique paint jobs.

Well............. So long as you're happy with it, because you are the one driving it.

i think the car looks good..IMO i liked just the dragon on the hood..but the stripe doesn't look bad/Looks great for a first timer!
