My cars paint is in shitty condition. I thought I would save up for a paint job for like a year (at least $2,000)... so until then I'm going to do all the prep-work on my car and then my and my buddy are going to paint it.... flat black.... primer that is. I'm thinking it'll look pretty sweet for a while (check out the November 2002 (I think) issue of SCC...there is a 240sx that is flat black in there... its bad.) Yeah, that's my "idea"
I'm just wondering what you would do...
a) Leave it and pay to have it prepped/painted
b) Prep it myself (My friend does bodywork for a living) and paint it flat black?

imo, that is a big job and needs to be done RIGHT. I know some people who have done the work themselves, and it looks good, but if you don't know what you're doing, pay to have it done right. This isn't just a minor thing, its a MAJOR project, so if you want to have it done 100% right w/ a warranty, pay to have it done. If you think you could pull it off, by all means go for it. Good luck!

Just my thought but if you are going for a nice looking ride you will want to get it painted professionally. I have seen way to many try it and fail miserably. Plus with a flat black car it will get dirty fast and be hard to clean. You will not get the satisfaction of spending a day waxing it and getting it SHINEY....

I agree 100% My buddy works here in Blue Springs at Car Star. He said he would do it for cheap, its really not set in stone yet I just though id see what you dudes thought. Most likley I'm doing it... when.... I don't know.
Those are my old tags Chad... my TZ-10's come in tommorrow. Sorry I had to do it. I want to be JUST LIKE CHAD!

the key to a good paint job is mostly the prep work. be sure u know how to do it right imo. Honestly, I HATE seeing cars with primer riding around for a while. I don't hate that so much as hearing people talk about cars with 5 colors of primer being badass. (and they aren't being sarcastic) I had my front and sides sitting when I bought them (at diff. times) and the whole damn town was begging me to slap them on non-painted. Personally, I wouldn't wanna drive my car around primered. I can't say much tho. My beater needs paint BAD. But, it's a beater. For now. Do what u want tho man, it's ur car.

Ain't no thang mang.... I love those rims....It will be nice to see em in 18s cuz I may have to upgrade. Plus mine are hyperblack so they will prolly look really different.
