all i need to do it get neon and make a spoiler for it. and then put it altogether

o and i also need to smoth out the pant then go over it with a clear coat of paint.

Did you brush paint it? Dang man, look at all of the orange on the windows too!

The idea is good, the execution could be a lot better.

My suggestion? Sand it all off and start over. I don't mean to be rude, but you can do better than that.

it looks like you have just used the rattle cans you get from hardware shops.

[redrunner07]

i still painting it then when i get everything smoth im going to cover it with a clear coat of paint witch i hope will make the car look alot beter and i was going to redo the windows to. ya i probly will sand it all of to idk im still working out all the ideas. dose anyone have a idea for decals i need a decal i was think about strips?

[ling427ttvette]

There's no smoothing that paint out without making it thicker than it already is. You don't have much of a choice but to sand it all down and start again. The clear coat isn't going to save this, trust me.

rattle cans aren't really that bad, just look at my 08 gt-r project thread. as for the op, what grit of sand paper did you use? that might have something to do with it. and here's a tip: before you sand, mask the windows. after sanding, peel off the tape and mask again.

bud if i were you i would sand it down and start over and spray lighter coats. your paint is so thick you have lost your body lines witch i dont think you wanted, did you?

[Bananabrain]

Ouch man, sand the puppy down and repaint it.

[BulletsRain]

Yea I would sand it down, and redo it. You might want to do lighter coats and let them dry longer.

[Blackdragon]

Sand it down and redo it, and if your using spray cans stand back from the car, I learned this from members on this site and trial and error.

[ling427ttvette]

O_o

Jumping on the SAND IT DOWN band wagon and re-paint it. Your paint is way too thick man.

And that spoiler is killing it, how did you mount it? A hot glue gun?

Just noticed, your paint is so think you almost lost your door handles.. dang man.

Sand it all off, use spray paint if you aren't, do a lot of very thin, light coats spraying atleast 8 inches away from the car. Don't get impatient, that is the WORST thing you can do with a paint job is to get impatient. A good paint job takes a week minimum IMO. You need plenty of cure time, and prep is your biggest part of the job. If you don't have good prep work, you don't have anything.

I likr the color chioce, just not the way you tried doing it. I would try redoing it or get a new body.
