I know of another guy who supposedly did it as well but I never saw his ride.

My car is beyond a resto-rod status; it's just going to be the "fast-fun" car I wanted it to be.  If the paintjob (color not finalized yet) turns out nice, good.  If not, I'm only out a few bills.  Either way, I'm still gonna drive the thing.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Naysayer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 2:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[your to submit pics when complete<br>AUTOBLOG will posts right guys!?!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[felipe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 3:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[HERETIC!!!!<br><br>Thou has desecrated the Temple of Abingdon!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Napalmgod]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2007 11:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[The best paint guy I know of is Bill DeCarr, who charges a small fortune to do a paint job for those who want to win concours or street rod shows. <br><br>His theory has always been it doesn't matter how you get the paint on the car -- brush, sprayer, roller, doesn't matter -- so long as you get enough paint on it to start with. <br><br>In his case, that's when he spends maybe 100 hours wet sanding with progressively finer grit sandpaper until he winds up with paper that's about the same grit as a baby diaper.   <br><br>So the best paint job is probably something like 2% paint cost and 98% labor. If you do it yourself, it's almost free. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve C]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 3:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[Holy crap, that DOES look good. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Don]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 3:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[Old guy report. I think that new cars manufactured in the teen's and 20's were brush painted and then sanded. In the 70's I remember advertisements in the British Autocar for brush paint touch up and repair kits. I have an 89 Jeep Cherokee beater that needs some help in the paint department. I had thought of doing it this way. Now I know I am going to  do it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Clarence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 3:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/03/need-a-paint-job-50-will-do-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[NICE! the driveway paintjob alive and well. I remember painting my brothers old datsun 510 in the driveway and having it come out great. I used a Binks Spray Gun instead of a roller though.<br><br>That corvair looks really nice.

I just used the cheapest paint that was still the original color and it cost about $120. I used an air compressor with a moisture filter on it and worked in small stages.

My cousin had an 80s Mercury Marquis (Not Grand) that he used to use as a winter crasher. About ten years ago he asked me to fix some rust holes in the doglegs so it would pass inspection. After some welding, a little bit of body filler, and some semi-gloss Krylon black, you couldn't tell any work had been done. It was a perfect match and was still unidentifiable 10 years later when he sold it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jaymez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2007 4:14PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
