Rattle can paint jobs

[Toahk]

They look like shit, stop spray painting your cars people. I seem to see people all the time "primering" or "painting" their car with a primer black or gray. It's not cool to primer your car just because SCC or whoever did it. It doesnt look good, just spend the extra couple hundred bucks and paint it yourself, its not that hard. Mismatched silvia front ends look like shit, its not JDM tyte, if you spend the money to get the front end, make it look good! Just because your clear coat is flaking doesnt mean you should primer the whole fucking car and make it look like ass. That primer is shit too, I would never use that shit to primer my car before I paint it, it doesnt bond to real paint very well at all.

Waaaaaaa, boo hoo.

What other people are doing to their cars is affecting my well-being. Whatever shall I do? I know, I'll go on a public forum and bitch about it. People will respect what I have to say if I insult them and their decisions.

PMS? What have you done to your car? Cuz unless your rocking a bling paint job, with top of the line parts, then you have no right to complain.

[Annoying Eric]

What the fuck does it matter what other people have. I'm sorry, some people rather spend there money on things that matter, like performance upgrades and suspension shit then a nice paint job.

[papershot]

I spraypainted my trunk, and I'm going to do the whole car too when it warms up.

$10 for the paint and $20 for the polishes and stuff beats a 500-1000 dollar paint job that'll just get messed up.

Very good job BTW! I have many threads here with some good info on painting with a can and the steps following to get the job done right.

I for one advocate the "rattle can" paint job for practical purposes. Many of us use the car as a daily beater and use the VIP sedans for looking good.

[SilviaDriver]

how about the original thread poster shut the fuck up and lock this dumb ass thread. lock all future threads about stupid rants about other poeples car. you have too much time on your hands.

well if my paint job gets screwed up its cause A- i did something stupid B- somebody hit me or C- some jackhole decided he'd like to die by my hand choking the life out of him.

rattle can jobs are okay for track cars and if you just want it all one color but i highly recomend a quality paint job that'll last a good ten years.

[Uniac]

my buddies in town all have sr's and nice paintjobs and shit..but everyone still says how ugly they are...mine is flatblack well cause it was a rustbucket and that ugly rare grey-greenpearl...even tho it's flatblack i never get any one who has a problem with it...

I track it whenever i can, drive it in the snow, clip parts everywhere drag lip and frame...i bust out the "body repair kit" and it's mint again.

[S14DB]

I hate the retro rim trend. Let's get a pair of rims that looked like crap in the 80's and put them on my car.

STFUADIAF!!!

[Toahk]

PMS? What have you done to your car? Cuz unless your rocking a bling paint job, with top of the line parts, then you have no right to complain.

No, I dont have all top of the line parts, I have what I can afford. My paint job isnt exactly bling, but for what I paid, its decent.


What the fuck does it matter what other people have. I'm sorry, some people rather spend there money on things that matter, like performance upgrades and suspension shit then a nice paint job.

It doesn't matter, did I say that I demand everyone that has anything I dont like done to their car should change it? It was an opinion. I have stuff done to my car that people dont like, do I give a shit? No. Do I have a right to rant? Yes

how about the original thread poster shut the fuck up and lock this dumb ass thread. lock all future threads about stupid rants about other poeples car. you have too much time on your hands.

How do I have too much time on my hands? You have on average about 4 posts per day, I have an average of about .6 posts per day. Hmm......

rattle can jobs are okay for track cars and if you just want it all one color but i highly recomend a quality paint job that'll last a good ten years.

That sounds reasonable.

[SilviaDriver]

some people decide to post more than others.

how do you have more times on your hands? you have enought ime on your hands to sit here and reply back to a thread you created [which was dumb] to justify/defend your bitching is okay

yes you have the right to rant. but the fact is nobody gives a fuck and do it elsewhere where people do actually care what you have to think.

[Toahk]

Eh yeah I guess people will do what they want. I sat at an auction all day and lost the car I wanted, needed to rant about something today.

[ThatGuy]

Zilvia.net is not the proper outlet for your frustrations with life.

[Toahk]

And if anyone wanted to know... I was bidding on this 71 stock Landcruiser. Was willing to go a little over 4 grand, but some guy bought it for his kid for 5500.
http://img11.exs.cx/img11/2226/19018.jpg

this 240 went for 550 bucks, was an auto though. LE power everything.

[Salty_X]

I totally agree, but it's not really worth creating a new thread for it...
I usually wait until somebody asks for pictures or about how to do it before I mention how retarded it is.



why give it a nice paint job when ill fuck it up agine..

probably for the same reason i wipe my asss after i take a shit...

It's a rule many 240sx owners that I know adhere to. There comes a point in many a man's life where he ceases to care about what other people think and he goes his own way. You can rant all you want about it but if that's what someone is content with, do you really think your opinion amounts to a hill of beans?

[S14DB]

Who cares that it was auto. you'll change it when you swap in teh SR20 yo!

[JH]

mismatched paint jobs and poor quality primer black work (yes, there is a difference between a poor job and a good job) should continue to exist because w/o them people won't be able to say "hey, now that looks like a norcal car!" and we up here in norcal wouldn't have a certain look that people everywhere else can associate with us. So keep up the cheap tactics folks!

[PinkPanther]

Oh No! T3h runs!!.... I hope I can avoid those :drool: when I flat black my S14 this spring.

[MakotoS13]

if you get runs using flat black you got some serious issues with painting. you should be concerned most with even/consistent coats to keep it from looking patchy. like coloring a page black with a magic marker...

Ever think people with primered cars could only afford rattle can jobs... Its very hypocritical of you to complain about people with primered cars especially if you do stuff according to a budget.

I have friends with primered cars, they did it because they're car looked like crap (10+ year old paint fades). They all had plans to paint thier cars, but wanted to work on the basics (coilvers, diff, various other suspension). Also to get aero...

I agree with you if the person does it as an alternative. Although some primered cars look good the way they are, ie someone on the board has a coupe with desert camo color, looks great and is very unique.

SCC is just really dumb for doing it to a new car. They are the ones you should write a letter too. They thought it was cool to primer their cars b/c everyone else is doing it. Another one of those function becomes form things.

Would you like a hankerchief to dry your tears?

Seriously... I think enough has been said on the topic, but some people would PREFER a flat black or primered car to one with 15 mismatched panels.

Oh, and Toahk,

just spend the extra couple hundred bucks and paint it yourself, its not that hard.

If you're recommending to people who do not have the proper facilities, experience or equipment to spray their car themselves.. you are smokin'. Might as well rattle can it!

I say either primer it, flat black it, or fucking spend $2000+ on a QUALITY paint job.

But any of the above is better than multicolor, frankly.

[exitspeed]

I'm gonna paint my car flat pink! And I don't give a fuck if you don't like it. Quit your damn whinning. You sound like a bitch, bitch. (that was to the origanal poster btw)

[Var]

I was halfway convinced to rattle-can my whole car white with a c/f hood, a c/f gt-wing , a black roof and pillars and black overfenders. But now that you made this thread, i'm gonna go spend 2 grand on a paintjob, 2 grand on work wheels, 2 grand on labor to install my 2 thousand dollar gp-sports body kit. Although i wont have any money to do what's important, like finish up my suspension, upgrade the turbo, get a custom cage and have money left for track days, at least my car will look nice.

The moral of the story is that making your car look nice isnt for everyone and looking nice means something different for everyone.
Proof? Go look at the PMR thread.

[Var]

actually i was a porter and doing the "professional's" job a lot of the time. your assumptions of my capabilities matter nill, junior.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Q: Why is your car rattlecan primered?

A: Because I have better things to do than wax and obsess over a damn paintjob. I like paint that you can hose off. I like paint that's different. (Oh yeah, white-and-black two-tone with a satin finish is quite different...) I like the fact that I'm not shelling out multiple hundreds or thousands of dollars on the looks of my car before it's properly capable. I like the fact that if I have an OTE during a drift day or track event, I don't have to worry about the effect of Buttonwillow or Laguna Seca dirt on my paint. I like the fact that if I tag a cone at an autocross, I don't worry about my paint. I like the fact that if my car gets scraped in a parking lot, I won't even notice. I like the fact that I can spend the paintjob money on more important things, like tie rods and multi-link pieces. Do I need a "real" paintjob? No.

I don't know how you got on your high horse, but I do believe it just bucked you off. Go slink into a corner.

[S14DB]

Which came first, The Primer or the Paint?

I still find it hard to fight a styling trend that is as old as hot rodding it self.

[PinkPanther]

On top of that, stealth S14s are mAd tyt3 y0!

[TiNMAN]

well i was gonna wait a while until i actually finished the entire project but im willing to get flamed for all the right reasons. yea i know, its different and its a little crazy and it certainly doesnt belong on an S14, but here it is ladies, a TWO-TONE RATTLE CAN PIECE OF CACA. truth is, i bought this car with front end damage(only to the middle of the rad support). picked up the car for $900(previous owner had it towed back to his place) clean motherhumpin title, straight frame the whole nine. and since i know a friend who just happens to be a master tech at the marina nissan, i get my parts for dirt cheap! rad support ran me $300, front end around $1000. right now the car is registerd non-op so everything is cool, just waiting to wire up the frontend and put on my jDm TzZzyTe ZeNki side skirts(this is how i created my line)blah blah.... i know what you're thinkin, "BULLSHIT! dumb little bandwagon jumpin kiddies do the stupidest shit!" indeed they do, and i totally agree. im 19 and this is my 3rd s13/s14 chassis, and every last penny spent was mine. you can player hate if you feel the need to, but i really dont give a poop. fire up them torches, and let em rip! :rl:

[PinkPanther]

Is that white on the upper section or is it lt. blue? Either way it doesn't look all that bad. I would have extended the black paint all the way up to the raised portion of the fenders on each side though, or I would've used undercoat instead of black paint; that's just my distorted taste at work though. :bigok:
p.s. that yellow doughnut is a nice added touch to the shoot.

[Var]

I vote for a lock too, but it's up to the dictators.

[TiNMAN]

yea the shot makes it look a little blue but its really grey/platinum.

[ThatGuy]

I'm not a huge fan of primered cars, but in some cases it is perfectly ok. I really don't care what other people do to their cars. My car is primered because I did some amateur body work to it. I shaved my side lights, front emblem, antenna, trunk lock, and removed the old nasty spoiler that was on it. My only regret is the trunk lock, which I will be replacing. The roof and the hood were the only parts of the car without any kind of damage, so they are still "Saphire Blue". My car is still in primer because I can't afford a paintjob right now. It is mostly spraygun auto primer, with small patches of rattlecan. If you don't like it, OK, fine by me. In the end it is my car, not yours. Your opinions will not change my thinking, or my way of doing things. You can tell me you don't like it, my feelings won't be hurt. I've had this car three years, without much to show for it. It still doesn't have wheels, still has a screwed-up auto tranny, stil has the ghetto fart-pipe exhaust. But guess what, my daughters have plenty of presents under the Christmas tree, food on the table, and clothes to keep them warm.

looks like your lip has some paint chip chunks missing.. and if done right there is no way it could look better than a maaco job. how hard is it to prep your own car?

yah that is over spray i did the lip with like 5 min of prep and like 10 min of overall spraying. but my point is a rattle can job doesn;t have to be flat black. In fact if i wanted to work on it more i woulda wet sanded it again and repainted it and then put clear coat and then polish.... but thats unneccessary especially for a lip that is an inch off the ground and a bumper thats being used for tracking.

Maaco jobs don't prep. You have to pay extra for that and some people don't know that and then when their paint gets chipped off by a simple door rub they realize their old paint is under there and they feel that maaco is shit. I mean if you go do the whole shabang with prep it will be like 400 dollars through them which isn't bad at all. But considering the paint they use and the time they take prepping the car that 400 is pretty much and over priced labor charge.

And from what i heard places usually turn you down when you have done your own prep work. My friends have said that shops told them "if you can do the prep work why don;t you paint it yourself."

And that brings us back to point one. Painting your car yourself. If you want some shops can put ppg paint into cans, and if you wanna do that then your own labor is free but the paint will cost you about 400.

So what it comes down to is not to stop rattle canning your car. Its more like improve your rattle can job.

i love the flat black, for all of the reasons mentioned earlier...but also because my friends have grown to recognize me by the silver wheels and headlights (at night flat black cars are practically invisible)

and since alof of my friends dont recognize a 240 when they see one, the flat black helps lol.

[nightwalker]

you guys are kidding yourself. You've been conditioned to accept your ugly spray painted cars. I thought it was just the ghetto guys in their pimped out malibus and capris doing the rattle cans? Move away from what you've been fooled into believing is cool and realize that shitty rattle can paint job=PMR tasteless paintjob.

Ask someone on the street what they think of your rattle can paint. I'm sure you'll get a nice dose of reality.

I've liked flat black ever since i was into hot rods back in highschool. When i saw my first 63 Nova with a 383 stroker and a Muncie 4-speed. Flat black with polished weld wheels. i was taken at how raw it looked. i love it.

Ryan posted up some pics of your car on NICO a while back when we had this exact same thread, everyone thought it was cool

i wanna do that same thing but probably with grey or black krylon glossy

i think rattle can jobs give a car a certain attitude, somewhat all go and no show kind of mentality is what comes to mind when i see one, most rattle can cars i have seen are fast as shit, usually for the fact the person who owns it put all the money in to the motor, not the bling. (however this is not always true) Anyway, thats besides the point, my whole reason for responding to this thread was to say who gives a flying fuck if someone else's car is painted with cans or not, you can not control what others do, and by getting pissy about it your going to cause your chances of having a heart attack to go up really high, i bet you bitch about everything you see that you don't agree with, and never let go do you.... ::shakes head:: you have much to learn young grasshopper.... and to those who have posted pics of there can jobs, thumbs up to all of them.

i've honestly only had a couple people say it looked a little dull..other then that it's been nothing but compliments on the car since it was painted..in person or otherwise...*shrug*..i will get a bling paint job someday...but for now i don't see the point...

For me I did flat black on my Gti to replicate the rat rod look since I had red wheels at the time,I also did it cause the black factory paint had seen better days.On my s14 I did rattle can black for a few reasons,I hate my previious paint job an my painter didnt get the green right,I also needed a black base for my next paint job an wanted to get a few aero parts on now to see how I liked them.I just spent 600$ to paint my s14 flat black,550$ for the first green paint job only a month ago which came out great but wrong color an 50$ in materials to ruin the brand nwe aint job with spray paint hehe.

Think what you want and i'll think what I want. That is called an opinion, do we live in a country where you can't have an opinion? No
Was I ever trying to control other people? No
Do you really think my distaste for primer cars will make my chances of having a heart attack go up? I doubt it

i bet you bitch about everything you see that you don't agree with, and never let go do you.
Nice assumption buddy, too bad you have no idea what my personality is like. Ask anyone that knows me what my personality is like.

^Oh blow it out your fucking ass Howard. Yes, an opinion, but why in the hell do you feel so strongly about ranting about rattle cans, if your going to rant, rant about something worth ranting about. Like the song summer of 69 by Bryan Adams, he got a job and worked real hard, but how could he do that in 69? He was grade school... what did he do, shine shoes?

I painted the car myself, thank you very much. If you dont like the red mesh thats your problem, ive had too many compliments to count on them.

The paint looks nice in the pictures. My 90 Coupe is the same color.

I was just making a statement about how ppl's tastes vary. I guarantee 90% of the zilvia crowd think your wheels are wack -- but if you like them, that's great. I certainly wouldn't post a thread on zilvia entitled, "What's with Toahk's Red Wheels?"

To stay on-topic, if I ever devote a car to track use, it's definitely getting a low-gloss black paint job!

For a daily driven 240 coupe, I love the two-tones w/ silvia conversion and sideskirts (Teal/Gray or White/Gold). But that's just me -- I'm a product of the 1980s!

seriously. that's just ridiculous. Bryan Adams is a liar and not to be trusted under any circumstances. he should just go DIAF.
