July 15, 200619 yr So i was really bored today so i decided to primer my car (Bad idea..) Im thinking i need to make it a Gray and Black camo to cover up some of the tiger stripping Or Is There any other way to reduce Tiger Stripping without more grey paint (I ran out ) Although the primer is 100% better than the paint befor so i guess i can live with it.... I was bored what can i say... If i have the stuff ill do it (It's An Auto haha)
July 15, 200619 yr wet sand it out.. 600grit should do it.. spray can is too close to the work surface.. tiger stripes no good.. only on tigers rllywgn
July 15, 200619 yr did you use the walmart 99 cent equipment grey primer? if you didn`t, just run out to your local walmart, and respray it with that (light coats) that stuff covers almost anything:D
July 15, 200619 yr Author i guess im going to Wal-Mart lol... is it really .99 cents a can to tell the truth i have never been to Wal-Mart and i don't even know where the shift boot came from it was just laying around in the garage all i can tell you is that there are a few extra holes in it now
July 15, 200619 yr put on about 3 coats of primer and wetsand it out with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Then if you want to paint it, this would be the time, even if it is with rattlecan or Rustoleum like kingbobdole;)
July 15, 200619 yr yeah, walmart sells it, its in a blue can with a grey top and says "color place" or something on the side. i used to buy it because it was the cheap stuff, but it actually covers and holds alot better than the $4 stuff.
July 17, 200619 yr Is that an Audi shift boot? It looks like an Alcantara boot. maybe it's this... Click me I just picked the first one I saw....
July 17, 200619 yr Paint jobs should never be done on a walmart budget. i used to agree until my friend did what i told him was a bad idea. check out this awesome $64 paint job. walmart special, i was wrong. you won't believe how good this looks.....i didn't when he drove it to work: http://xt6.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1440&highlight=dollar
July 17, 200619 yr What were you expecting? It's a primer paint job! That's just the look I wanted when I found this baby already painted!!! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=7454&cat=500&ppuser=584 Boy was I lucky! I probably saved $8 in spray paint:grin: I prefer the black radar absorbing primer Leave it alone and drive it proudly!!!
July 17, 200619 yr Author Yeah i guess i'll drive it.... maybe no one will steal it that way or look in it cause i got sterio equpiment in it
