ok so i was thinkin of repaintin my green camaro a black color
wat all do i need to do? including the best paint brand and where to get it
can i just paint over the green? it has no dents in it

 

best paint brand is all opinion (like best exhaust). as much as you think your car has no dents, I'm sure if you went to black, the body would need a lot of work. black needs the most perfect cars to look good because it is the worst color for showing ANY little flaw.

as for the color change, how far are you willing to go? a proper color change on a car will cost you thousands, on top of the thousands you will already laidout for the regular paintjob.

you would need to pull your engine and most everything under the hood, pull all the glass, and even remove a lot of interior panels the butt up to the jambs of the car. if you don't do this, it will look totally hacked!

the one color that you can usually get away with not changing under the hood, and still looking right (and almost factory), would be to have a car that was originally black, and want tot change it to a different color because a lot of cars have black engine compartments from the factory anyway

hope this gave you a little more insight for what you are thinking about

 

yea ummmm lol i dont think i will repaint it lol
mayb i will paint the brake pad covers and rims black i dont kno
i wanted to cut the top off and bolt on some connectors so it stays on and comes off when i want it to

 

you really can't do that either because the car doesn't have the added bracing that the convertibles are built with

 

damn wat can i do paint wise?lol

 

the cheapest way to change the looks of a car, is to do a rim and tire swap. as far as paint goes, if you go with a two-tone (has to be done right, not just for the sake of doing it) paintjob, you can usually follow the bodylines of the car and still not have to go as extreme into the paintjob (engine compartment and stuff like that)

good luck with your project

 

when u say two tone do u mean like the front green and the back black or wat?

 

Stripes will help change the look and arent as expensive or as radical as a whole not paint job

 

aw and they are doable yourself rite?

 

no, no, no...that looks like two totalled cars were cut in half and welded together. people go with the top one color, and the bottom another. you just have to be sure to follow the bodylines so it will look right.

if your car needs paint, and you throw stripes on top of the worn paint, it will just make your paint look even worse. if you are repainting your car, then you can have stripes painted on under the clear and that has a nice look
