NH: Anyone in need of a paintjob, click here!

So these past 2 years ive gotten in to painting, so i decided instead of doing it for just myself id offer it up to you zilvia members... so i figured id post on here see if anyone had any interest... painting your car isnt going to be as cheap as maaco, because it isnt possible to beat there prices unless you paint it yourself. also there quality sucks.

the cost of paint, primer, reducer, hardner, and clear coat, will be about $280-300 +/- depending on colors.

then actual cost of painting will vary depending on how much body work needs to be done and what you would like painted.

anyways, shoot me an email or pm. and later on tonight ill post up some pics of some of the stuff ive done...

heres my s14 its not done being clear coated or sanded yet but heres some pics in the progress of paint:(the dull to shiney spot, isnt a run its the clear coat and base coat seperation where i didnt spray yet.)

(dont neg rep or comment about the rims, they came with the car and there coming right back off.)

Primer(3 coats) going back in for paint

Not to be an ass but most people would prob be scared off because of your age. Are you certified in anything? pics of a booth? I know when I started painting 8 years ago no one trusted me haha. Good luck and I hope your wearing a fresh air system.

i know may be young and all but i learned awhile ago. i have a 50x80 enclosed garage.. about 6 guns, good at body work etc. ill show you guys some pics later. just dont want to be neg repped or put down upon for something so stupid, ill post pics of my audi and m911 and some shit that ive painted. if people need to ask about my painting quality ask Joe, 240sx_sr20det hes seen me paint and hes seen where i paint.

just figured someone would need paint, and id help you guys out and myself ya know? instead of seeing s-chassis wrecked with maaco paint jobs that look like shit.

what would really help get the word out.. is to find one guy and paint his car for a hella good deal.. do a great job.. he will tell people.. you can post your work.. and more people will follow...

I was gonna do the same except with my G. Then bring it to all the meets, shows, import wars etc. Then people can eyeball and see for themselves what you can really do. You cant see dirt, zebra stripes, fish eyes etc in a pic.

If you get certified in a paint line they will honor a lifetime warranty even if you do it on the side. If you do it by the book and something happens the paint line will pay for a repaint.

Dont forget if you dont use good stuff your gonna F yourself in the end big time. What line do you usually paint with?

Well, im not certified or anything, i just learned it all from my dad while we did some of his trucks and some misc. parts a couple years back, then when it came around to my time, i did my audi, painted my dads osh kosh m911 tank retriever, and a bunch of misc parts for people.. ill take some pics of my stuff, and shop before i prep the shop and cars and such.

I can vouch for Pat.

His Audi was real clean. He knows what he's doing.

Just because he's 18 doesn't really matter, if you have the experience, like he does then who cares. Just look at the work he did. His Audi was badass and I know for a fact his 240 will turn out even better.

He's had the worst luck with his Audi. Hit a deer, got backed into, and got hit from behind and yet every time he was able to make the Audi look 10x better than it did before.

thanks joe, well said haha

hey man! this seems great im going to need my 240SX painted im located in massachusetts and could drive up. Do you have aim? or whats your email address ill contact you about everything!

Pat (byebyesti) just painted him S14 and damn it came out sexy.

I hope he posts up some pics soon for all of you guys to see.

EDIT: Here's a link.

I personally prefer this pic of his Audi...

It'd be better if those girls were actually attractive.

NeW pics of s14 up!!

I'll have to admit, in those pics it doesn't look bad. Wouldn't mind seeing it in person before total judgement is passed.
