Show your backyard paintjobs!

Last summer - painted piece by piece in 1992.

 

Amen to that brother, and they would'nt even know which way to point the gun.

 

Some of these look like they were shot by pro's using the best equipment and they look AMAZING. To me a backyard paint job is rattle-canned such as my old 57 Chieftain. I rattle-canned it in the Garage and the Driveway.

I really wish I still had that car.

 

painted by me when i was on acid in 2004...

 

Dude...that is humbling! 17 or 77, stuff like that takes talent...and with rattle cans...WOW!

 

Lacquer done in the driveway...

 

Rustoleum rattle can in the garage over one weekend.

 

Painted in a garage 1999/2000.

 

here's a couple of the ones i did..........

 

I have done a several "garage jobs", and even got to use a booth once over the course of 25 years, but NONE of the cars I have ever painted are HAMB friendly....

Most everything I have done has involved the extra work of a color change...

Lots of stuff at work trucks big and small, and lots of trailers, perhaps 20 or 25 of these vehicles?

also,

A car I THINK was an ugly little 60s Fiat coupe (Favor, good)
82 Mustang 4 banger (Favor, good except for the fly trapped under the clear coat, became kind of a "mascott" for a while)
71 Corvette (Mine, a paint and then a repaint before leaving the shop when the color I "got cheap" just sucked, ended up looking really nice)
86 Firechicken (Mine, I screwed this one up with "blue Pearl", so I traded it off, my wife is still pissed about me screwing up her "favorite car ever"... )
86 Mustang, I got to use a booth on this one, it came out really nice, (Favor)
94 Chevy 1500 (Mine, good)
90 Chevy 1500 (sons, nice)
94 Cavalier, (Favor, looks good)

and I am sure I am forgeting something...

 

....and i do some flames in my little garage...

 

...and more...!

 

...and an old fridge, in vanilla with HoK candy tangerine flames,limegreen outline and fine purple miniflakes in the clearcoat..sand with 1500 grid,polish.....done( good enough..)

 

Here is mine before and after

 

Heres mine. I paint everything in my yard!!

I have an 85 year old uncle who has restored 5 8N & 9N Fords. I'll see if I can talk him into doing one up like this!

 

All but the dark blue F100 on the far end have been painted in a home garage or barn.

 

Painted this with an old sale spray gun that I found at a garage sale and the worlds smallest compressor. Single stage PGP with flatner added. Done in my garage during a rain storm




Painted this with a rattle can and did the flake with a paint brush and clear from Home Depot.




Currently painting my truck with a foam roller and a can of Rustoluem from Home Depot. (back half done). The infamous $50 paint job!!!!

 

outside painted 100 %.............................

 

Done literally on my back lawn:

 

pretty cool shit

 

Painted in the same attached garage its sitting in....satin (Before it was "the in thing" circa 2002) and in its Semi Current state (havent psted an update n the build thread in a LONG time, hood is now complete, column is mounted and cab is comin off for frame work and upside down cab work)

Soon to be painted in candies and flakes in the same very garage...neighbors are gonna love me!

 

I'd love to hear how you did the flake with a paint brush if you wouldn't mind sharing.

 

Divco parts. The trucks too big to get in the booth.

 

First and only paint job i've done so far.
