Let's see pics of garage, driveway & backyard paint jobs!

Been working on my Riviera's body for what seems an eternity.
Got 2 rounds of block sanding done last week. Planning to get final prime, wet sand & color on it next week if the weather permits.
Hoping to catch a couple days when the humidity and dewpoint is low.
(I have the whole week off, so it will probably rain.)

I need some inspiration!

So, whatchya got?

 

here's mine. did it 1 day before greaserama '09!!

it's my first paint job i've ever done. did it at 2-3am!!!!

 

it was years ago but it's pretty nice I guess

I do all mine in my little back yard garage. The trick is staple some super thin plastic sheet to the rafters to keep shit from floating onto the car.

Open a window with some furnace filters in front of it and use a few fans (with filters) to exhaust the fumes.



-nuther.



This one isn't quite done yet, but you get the idea.



You can do it, I swear. Good luck, -Abone.

 

One more thing.....get a GOOD water/filter separator along with a regulator. Also, get one of those screw on filters that go right on the gun and drain your separator every time you do a coat of paint.

Good luck, -Abone.

One last thing...try to keep your damn shirt out of the clear coat....Yea, it sanded out, but I still felt like a dumbass..

 

They all look great! It is reassuring!

Oh yeah, I have done all that.
It was probably overkill for the 1st coat of primer. These are pics from last fall when I did that 1st coat. Then the temps went South for the rest of the year.
I had the whole garage wrapped in plastic with filter material in the open windows.
Closed the garage door down on top of the 2 fans. With more plastic covering the door and openings. Worked real well.
I wasn't so fussy on the last coat of primer.

I'm good on water seperators and filters too.

 

this is my car my husband kustom d painted it wiht primer in our back yard for the straykat 500 show this past may. atwoods primer kickass. purple is my favorite color but the car will be a burgundy suede one day.

OMNI MAE. Did it in '04 myself in the garage and driveway. The entire paint job cost less than $350. Sanding/priming three coats, masking tape etc.


Then the next year decided I liked Black better. Daughter had raised so much hell about the stink in her garage so I took it to a friend with a paint booth the second time around. I wasn't happy with how the other guy did it, so since then I do my own, found a booth I can rent.


My grandson and I did all the body work and primer on this truck in the driveway, but put the color on in a rented booth. OMNI MAE.

 

I shot my old T-bucket in a friends garage. Wet down the floor a bit, hosed down the back alley to keep the dust to a minimum, and let fly!

 

You bout to run outta black yet?? JK!

 

Haven't painted anything hamb friendly. But did some sidework for awhile. and everything on my website was painted in my tiny 1.5 stall garage, bare studs, no insulation, have to run electricity from the house, and only a few flourescents hanging from the rafters. If I wasn't renting it, one of the first things I probably would have did is tore down the garage and built a nicer one. Seemed to be a ricer magnet too painting cheap in my tiny garage, even having painted quite a few vehicles over the years.

Lost my pops in 08, I used to be able to use his garage if I needed and often did in the past when I was a bit younger when I did sidework. Even when I painted every day at my job, the booths the shops I worked at had, weren't all that much to write home about. The only pretty nice booth I ever really painted in was the one back at tech school, all downhill from there.

Even painted a limo for a friend of a friend years back, get over there and they have a big tent made out of tarps, and a small 110 compressor to shoot with. After spending friday and a good part of saturday doing bodywork and getting it ready to shoot, I start spraying when the sun as starting to set, knowing not a lot of time before I have no light. I Look away from the car in the middle of painting, to see there are about 15 people standing watching the show go on with beers in hand, ready to start partying that night. Something I'll never forget.

Looking to buy a house soon, and hopefully somehow I will be able to get a place thats secluded and has a nice garage. Pretty tough on my income.

Did both of these mustangs in my garage for the same guy. No the garage in the pic isn't mine.

 

Mine i did last year.

 

Beautiful work man. Very smooth.
