Cheap racecar paintjob?

Mach1 · 11-21-2016, 03:34 PM

I need a Maaco style el cheapo paintjob for the racecar, how much should I expect to spend realistically? Where do the cab drivers get their junk painted?

Id spray it with rustolium before I would pay maaco to squirt shitty paint on it.

Just use a foam roller and some rustoleum.

Got to tractor supply, get a gallon of the tractor paint with hardner. Pick a reducer for the weather. Stop by harbor freight and get the "purple gun" and shoot it yourself.

I completely missed that one! Or completely forgot about it, anyways.

BTW.. I didn't even realize that was the old board for a minute. Looks like shit over there!
