new paint on my 31 coupe

gave the coupe a face lift,, what do you thinck about the color

before


now after $12.00 in paint

 

I believe you skipped the important BODYWORK part of that paint job.
The color is different and a good choice, but no finish paint on undone bodies if you please.

 

I gotta agree....

 

i tend to not look at cars with fresh paint over dents and rot...

 

I'd start again.

 

generally the taking pride in your vehicle should overshadow the hat(e?) for doing bodywork.

 

I like the color...but, I agree....it needs to have the bodywork done.

 

I think it looks alot better than it did in primer. Definately worth the 12 bucks!

 

these guys wouldn't be so tough on ya!

Dings and dents are battle scars **** it it could be a pile of rust...i dig the color its different.And 12 bucks....**** you cant beat that these days.

 

It's actually a pretty cool color but I would have spent some time on getting those dents out. I would also try coating those rusty pipes. Nice use of $12 though.

 

hard to beat a 12 dollar spray job

 

I love the color, but I love just about anything green. The car looks good, but since you asked, I think even a coupla shots with a hammer and dollie would do them dents far better! Still, it's looks far better than before...

 

I tend to agree with everyone about taking a little pride in your work. Cutting corners looks like cutting corners.

 

I dont get the rust and dent's stuff. nothing wrong with rattle can paint if thats all you can afford, but why not take a little "pride in your ride" and do the best job you can afford and manage with your skill level.

 

C'mon man, you could have at least pounded out the big dents obviously caused from where your arm has leaned against it posing for pictures...

 

well i dont have the time to do all the body work and everything else i want to do to it right now and was sick of the grey primer so i sprayed it green, and for now i can get in it and cruse it all day long and i dont want to tear it apart and start anouther project right now.

 

Keep razzing him, maybe he'll lose interest and sell me the '31 for a few g's.

 

Hey, you asked!

 

Think, because and near. or Spell check.

 

Man thats a cool car I hear you on doing body work. Ive built afew cars and didnt do the body work on them and still painted them. Dont listen to these other guys you built the car for you not them. You did ask what we think so you brought some on your self. I wouldnt think twice if you like it you like it. I do like it

 

It's hard being green......

 

The facelift looks good, I don't mind the dents. But lifting the whole thing 3"-4" off the ground would help too.

 

I have a hard time seeing these cars at shows! I will not drive my vehicle until the thing is done! Same as " you don't put your socks on after your shoes"! If you don't want to do the body work then don't paint it. At Least you don't have to deal with people thinking you don't give a **** about your ride when it's in primer. I hate body work as much as the next guy and the guy after that!! but I sure as hell will never take a short cut on something that I get to tell people that I did.

 

Are you having fun? thats all that matters?

 

dont worry about the dents, they'll buff out.

 

green=good
dents with shiny paint=bad

a few minutes with a hammer and dolly can do wonders!

 

I don't even drink but if you would have spent the $12 on beer and gave it to some of your bodyman buddys, they might have done it for you. Or get some flat clear and knock the reflection off of them crators in the top.

I like your car, I'd love to have something like that, did you build it, let's hear some more details.
