DIY whole car respray..

[Hazza]

My mate is respraying his CRX delSol yellow. He has started on the spoiler, but will take him ages to do the whole car! I will keep this updated each time i get an update!

Here is a taster

Before respray

Spoiler painted yellow.

 

[Rob]

I look forward to this, if he finishes that is....

Is he using rattle cans? If so large panels are a PITA.

[VeinAST]

Prefer the squarer CRX, more manly.

 

[Hazza]

Fully finished the spoiler

 

[Englebert]

Not bad, just hope each panel isn't a different shade of yellow!

Tell him to hoover his house FFS!

PMSL u girl

 

[Hazza]

He has started sanding down the body panels..

 

[vinvin]

mint...!

 

[ekaJ]

I'd have gone matt black tbh. Only colour that ive seen turn out decent DIY.

 

[Gally]

Why are the bumpers, mirrors and handles still on the car?

 

[Hazza]

Think because he still drives it as a daily

 

[ilovewilly]

I'd have gone matt black tbh. Only colour that ive seen turn out decent DIY.

And primer.

+1....

 

[Hazza]

Front bumper is off, side sills are off and sprayed.

rear bumper also off and sprayed, don't think many layers of lacquer has been sprayed on yet

 

[Rob]

He's getting it done quite quick tbh, quite impressed.

Is he using halfords lacquer or some good 2k stuff? As the halfords/othershop stuff is so soft I think it'd be ruined very quickly.

Edit: I'll reserve judgement until he moves onto big pannels, i.e bonnet, roof.

 

[Hazza]

Yeah i think he's doing the 'easy' bits first, he won't be doing the bonnet i dont think as its a cf bonnet, but the roof would be interesting to see how well he gets that done.

I'm guessing he'll do it on the car, as the roof panel would be hard to take off, no? But we'll see.

I think it's mostly Halfords stuff, but paint hes getting batches of 20 i think.

 

[Rob]

He'd have probably saved cash having the paint mixed and buying/renting a cheap compressor and spray gun!!!

HAHA.. probably, but meh! This makes for interesting read for us!

 

[Hazza]

Update

Just spoke to my mate, and he is CF 3M wrapping the roof and boot lid!

 

[Rob]

Could work quite well then.

 

[Hazza]

Also he just told me he recently found out that the original color on the del Sol, the dark green is very very rare! PMSL!!!

 

[Djw Dave]

Looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Thats awesome !

What a brilliant dedicated girlfriend !

 

[guysy]

The work looks fairly decent for DIY, But photos can hide a lot.

I agree a compressor, A DIY booth and some mixed paint would work a lot better but wheres the fun!
