hey all, as most of ya know, i have been working at the local maaco, and have been painting there for the past year or so, well, that has come to an end, but that dont mean i've stopped painting!
it was fun while it lasted, and i got what i wanted out of the job: i LEARNED.  last night, i preped up and painted jims gt-4 hood and parts for his car, and painted them in my garage. here are a couple pics i snapped this morning after they were dry.    these last 2 are reflection shots. this is before wetsanding and buffing, since the parts were just painted last night. ill post more when they are done and on the car.   later today i will paint the gt-4 bumper and the forgmann lip. more pics to come! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Wow Manny..looks real good I cant wait to see it all complete!
Yea I love that blue Def was the first thing that stood out wen I originally bought the car..Its Electron Blue Pearl... Its one of my fav colors on the celica. I think Jim and his brother at one time were talking about changing it and making it darker..I was hoping it was just talk bc I would have been a lil sad to see this car lose this color. -------------------- |

bit off topic, but those of you with GT-Four bonnets that are in their factory paint, whats your plastics like, as per pressures second pic.
I think the paint reacted with the plastic a bit cause its gone a bit odd. kinda looks like its got real shallow scratches (can only see from real close). anyone else had this? -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r

Can you post the specs of your sprayer, gun, compressor? Nice work.
-------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Nov 23, 2008 - 8:23 AM) Can you post the specs of your sprayer, gun, compressor? Nice work. sure, my gun is a devilbiss GTI HVLP gun, with a 1.3mm fluid tip. the compressor is not really up to the job, its a 26 gallon craftsman, its big enough, but the motor just dont have the ummph to keep up, so with it i spray right at the edge of not enough air pressure, and stick to doing smaller parts (the hood is the largest part i've sprayed in the garage.) i need a few more upgrades that will come over time, but for where im at right now, im pretty happy with how it looks, the dupont chromabase i used matches very well with the paint that is on the car, which is a beautiful thing, and the 2 little kerosene heaters i use get the garage just barely warm enough (~55-60*F)so that the clear flows out and dries well. i will post a few pics of that later, im going out to the garage in a few to finish prep and paint the bumper and lip, ill post some pics of that as well when im done with those. thanks for the compliments all, ill be sure to post some finished up pics once its all back together and wetsanded and buffed! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
