[Ja99a]

That's where I will be going the rat Mr2 look

[travisfububarker]

Yeah I rattle canned it myself as the original paintwork was full of rust, plus I thought it would look daft. The orange wingmirrors - I was just passing time lol

There was a topic not long ago on mr2oc about rusting bonnets, I'm tempted to give that go

bad naughty imoc'ers i spray paint on a daily basis , its my job ! satin black mr2's omg ................. i hope this doesnt catch on this must be a case for crimes against toyota


i can totaly understand why you would want to paint over lime green

[redmr89]

im sorry to sound negative here but i think it looks unfinished. maybe it isnt matt enough?

Thats what i was thinking.I think Matt cars always look unfinished but this one looks an unfinished Matt car.

I like the smooth body panels and think you have done a good job with that but not a fan of Matt but its what you like

[Baker]

sorry, but imo, thats awful, not my cuppa at all.

sports car----shiny---must be!

[peenee]

I think it looks bloody awful !

[JOHNM400]

OMG please!! No offence intended at all but you just well and truely made a dogs dinner of your car. Looks like something thats going to be used for banger racing. Sorry i hope you dont take offence but i cannot understand why anybody would think that looks good.

[Bender Unit]

Matt / Satin finish paint can look utterly awesome if done right.

Matt black rattle canned spray jobs look blotchy and crap.

[JOHNM400]

sorry, but imo, thats awful, not my cuppa at all.

I agree

[Matt_Cooper]

If the spray job was done properly it wouldnt look too bad, but that cloudy, patchy finish looks w*nk to be fair.

It's not everyones cuppa tea, I have a satin black mk1. Everyone I spoke to before I sprayed it was unsure how it would look. They have all changed their mind since seeing it in the metal.
My car started gloss black (dodgy blowover by previous owner) It looked rank. I couldn't afford a proffesional job so did a bit of research and did it myself.

Dan what spraying technique did you use?, as the others have said, it looks fairly patchy. Did you apply it outdoors on a hot day ? I found that satin/matt dries too quick out of the can in hot weather (dries before it hits the car) If you've decided to keep it that way, it'll need rubbing back and starting again I'm afraid.






If you need any advise/tips feel free to PM me.

my guess is a catapult


to do this properly in the trade we use satin laquer to hide blotches and dry spots.

erm....

That car looks horrific, my eyes are bleeding from looking at it. You need to sort that out. Did you get vouchers to spend in Halfords?

[Dale_V]

maybe buy a cheap compressor and have another go?

it looks very patchy.. matt black isnt my cuppa anyway, but it can look respectable when its applied properly
