Hi guys,
I am looking to paint parts of my engine bay in the near future. What are the steps to paint over the finish that is there? Also there are some small spots of surface rust around the batter which is typical, how should I prep that to paint with the rest of the bay? |

Matt, where in CT are you? I have the rust on the edge of the rear wheel arches and want to see about getting them repaired before it gets worse.

I have a question:
What is the proper way to fill in a small rock chip on a 2011 SWP car? With the tri-coat paint, do I need to fill in all 3 coats to get it to match well? I have one on my hood, and I can see there is white underneath the chip. I'm assuming that white color is the basecoat, so I just need the pearl topcoat and the clearcoat? I also have two tiny dings on my rear bumper, and those are black, so I'm assuming that's chipped all the way down to the plastic, so I'll need to fill in the base, top and the clearcoat? |

Well the scratches are all the way to bumper plastic and also there are the spider web cracks. As for the psm color did any of you use the psm from grimmspeed or maybe get few touchup kits from the dealer and open them up into a spray gun?

Yes, if there is black it is raw plastic. depending on the size of the chips you may want ot apply some adhesion promoter. |

Hi Matt, I had a question about my 2002 PSM that I resprayed last night, just did the bumpers and the trunk. I ran into an issue towards the final coat, I looked in my my paint and saw that a lot of the paint metallic had settled to the bottom of the quart. So I tried to mix the flakes into the paint, but when I got to the final coat, my gun shot out a blast of flakes on the trunk! They look like a PSM sneeze! I'm wondering if I can just sand it out, or do I need to go and get another quart of paint? Also when I painted the trunk I had it flat, but felt like I should have had it up at an angle, it felt awkward shooting the top, what do you usually do?

When I'm painting a trunk I normally just rest it on a stand and the "top" is at about 45*. Laying it flat has no negative ramifications, and if you're using a clear you can hammer it on. |

Thanks Matt, I just got off the phone with the body shop that last painted the car, and it turns out that the guy at the paint shop screwed up. First the guy gave me a data sheet with the wrong reducer, so that was the first problem with the paint. Secondly the guy who painted the car used both an activator, and a 3 clear coats over the one stage. He said thie activator is because on these metallics if you don't use it, the metallic will streak. Just goes to show always double check your paint with the people who have done it, or triple checks with paint guys, like Matt. So does any of this sound accurate?

Fill in the chips/make it look flush b. prep the bumper c. Paint it d. If possible prevent it from happening again (not using a clear bra) and a set of materials. Thanks!

I am thinking of getting my whole car painted the same color to freshen it up. Now I brought my car to a shop to get a estimate on some motor work. While I was there bull****ting around I was talking to the painter asking question like how much to fix this scratch and that door ding etc.. A little while later I was like well hell, how much to re-paint the whole thing the same color.( no jams, just outside) He replied, I will give you a killer deal and repaint the car for $1300 and wet sand and buff it to a mirror shine for a extra $200.. He told me to call around and I would see that it was a killer deal. Now I knew when he told me the price, it sounded very cheap. For this price I would assume he would NOT take my door handle, bumper, etc.. off and would only tape them and spray(but I don't know) I have seen some of his work as someone that works at the shop had him repaint most if not all of his front end on a 08'ish wrx and it looked/matched perfect as far as I could tell but I am not a painter and did not inspected it with a magnifier plus I know nothing about paint. So, what do you think? can I get a good paint job for $1500?? If he only is going to tape my car and spray for that price should I offer to take everything off myself to have it done the correct way? I need some feedback. Thanks

The more you do on your own (taking off handles, lights, mirrors,.....) the les he will have to do and the better it will turn out. I would talk to him more to see about what you can do to assist the process.

Hey Matt, this isn't a question about painting a car, but I do a lot of airbrushing and have a question for you. I use Createx water-based paints for all my projects, I'm not sure if you are aware of the product or not, but you can buy it at most any craft store in 2 oz. bottles. My aunt wants me to airbrush her motorcycle helmet, which I am confident in doing, but I was curious to see if you would know if I could use the createx paint (i'm trying not to use Urethane paints like House of Color, auto air, ect.) and I could spray a professional clear with hardener over my artwork to make in look 'factory painted' if you will.

Roof leaks
Ok so I got my 99 OBS back on the road after rebuilding the engine and now I've noticed that the roof appears to of developed a leak which I believe to be right at the top of the windshield.
Does anyone have any advice on how to repair this on a budget? FYI: I do have autobody experience I just haven't had to do anything around a windshield except painting Thanks |
