    Cant recall ever painting my backyard. Sometimes I paint parts of my house. One time I painted my fence, but I dont think I took pics of it.

    Acutally with all the foreclosures cities in some areas are painting the dead grass green....saves money

    I would like to see examples of backyard paintjobs though, as I'm thinking about doing this :)

    Here's my old roadster that I painted out in my driveway. Once it was color sanded and buffed, it looked very nice.

    Here's mine. Only 'cuz I couldn't afford to have it done professionally. Base is sprayed, the roof is rattle canned. Oh, and recently re-did the base to satin instead of gloss but haven't taken any pics lately.

    My first paintjob was a backyard paint job. I remember hosing the grass down and mixing the inside of the EZ-up tent. Never tried grounding the car though.

  27. Here was my latest. Painted in the open door of my garage in the alley. Color sanded and polished it after it was painted. Base/clear Dupont. I have always done my own bodywork and paint jobs since I was 15. Just a hobby. Pat.

    This one was laquer and polished out.

    [​IMG]

    Another lacquer one from years ago. Painted it in my carport. Didn't have a garage at the time.

    [​IMG]

    Another red lacquer job I did years ago in a tiny one car garage. Had to do my own custom paint because I couldn't afford to have it done.

    [​IMG]

    More black lacquer done in a one car small garage attached to the house. Stunk up the house pretty good for a few days. My wife enjoyed the overspray dust.
