Re: My GTI and its multiple stages
Johnny knows a guy who can get the paint, paint it, and mount it for $250...that's who is doing mine. Why rattle can it?

Re: My GTI and its multiple stages
Why spend 250 when he's gonna repaint the whole car regardless. That 250 is just gonna get reprinted over in a sense when he repaints the car. I say leave it muti colored lol. And talk to Mario because he knows that dude Jacob and he was gonna do my whole car for 700 and that was in a professional booth.

Re: My GTI and its multiple stages
Well the rattle can paint is actually dupont oem paint, and Lionel is right this is just temporary cause I still gotta get side skirts and I'm doing the boser hood extension so once I do all that then I will repaint the whole car cause it's fading in spots plus with new skirts and hood it's going to need it

Oh. I think Mike will confirm this, you could have just scuffed the hell out of it. Good stuff though, keep it goin.
*edit* Might wanna grab a tack cloth too and use it right before paint.

Tack cloth is sticky, will pull every single piece of dust off the surface.
