I have a good idea on how to do it but i dont know what method to use. Im running a little low on cash at the moment as i enter first year of college and i want a 1 color car to go to college and not have to worry too much about it. I have on my car a body kit. I have a 93 black camry with yellow body kit. . . yuck. . . . shogun kit i picked up off ebay not bad
How should i paint it? What kind of paint should i use? Should i spray paint it or air compressor spray gun? please need to get this done quick if you could include the steps that would be great. Thanks guys
To do it right you will need to sand down the kit, fill holes, sand, fill holes, sand.
then primer, sand, primer, sand, primer, sand
then once you have primered and sanded enough, you lay on the paint in a closed ventelated room from a spray gun. Lay down plenty of layers and let dry. then lay down layers of gloss for shine.
You really shouldnt do it yourself unless you are skilled in it. Take it to a shop and pay $300 for it to be done, youll be much more happy
i have a compressor even with that it still will be as much as it would to be done at a body shop? What car paint stores are there that i could go to i live in pennsylvania.
wutever u do, DONT go to MAACO.......i dont know wut part of PA u live in....that would help alot! as ive lived in many areas along the eastern side and still do...
if perhaps on eastern, allentown has place called VinArt......fantastic place to go to, get wut u pay for then some, dunno if thats a chain or not but its really big round ther
The stupidest looking thing is when you see a car driving down the street with one of two things done:
1. A body kit is on the car and the entire car was sanded and primered, without paint
2. A body kit is on the car and the kit is primered, without paint
Do that and just prepare to have people vomiting or laughing when they see your car
he said he car was black (i think) at least primered it will look some what the same, as opposed to running mulit colors. if he doesnt have the money to paint the kit outright, itll look 1000x times better primered black than multi colored.
yeah, just grab some black primer spray cans from your local autozone or such.
thanks for all the help dude. . . . what grit should i sand the kit before priming it?? how many coats would u suggest? Thanks bro
what year is your cam i see you have a 95-96 body kit thats what i have and i have but i have a 93 cam so my bumper lights are messed up so that would mean i need 95 bumper lights to match up with that???? you got any parts to sell that you have extra cuz your ride is just a killa

im not sure about what grit to use. but put as many coats as need so that your primer is even, no patches or stripes

dunno if your talkin about my car or not but if you are, mines a 92. what bumper lights you need depends on what kit you have.
with mine (the silver one) youd need australian bumper lights, or chop up your old ones to make them fit. or custom mold your lights to your bumper.
with mikes (warlock, the blue one) 95-96 lights will work
yeah i was talkin about yours. . . . . i made mine fit i mean its not a problem i was just wondering if 95 bumper lights would fit i have the cyber 2 body kit . . . . thanks for all the help man. . . . just need to find what grit to sand my body kit and i should have it done by tomorrow

just straight black primer? should i use a spray gun or spray can??? need help please
i live around stroudsburg like 30 min from allentown? How much would u say a kit paint job would cost from that vinart?
kit paint job i doubt they would sell, but ya never know....Its right off 78, lehigh st exit....all the auto dealers on the auto mile use that place for anything from body repairs to detailing, they do a fantastik job. My black 2003 F-150 was done ther.....looks brand new straight off the lot, no joke, i kno a few guys over ther so i got a discount , but woulda been worth every penny reguardless
if u dont have experience......don't waste ur time and more importantly, money, w/a paint kit
