    Rusty Hood Repair

    Today was a nice day out here in washington state so me and my friend decided to fix up my rusty hood a bit. Now this was no more than a rattle can paint job .

    First we took of the hood and used an electric sander with 220 on it to sand out the rusty spots and then went over the entire hood and pretty lightly sanded the rest of it. then we primered it and then wet sanded it. after that, we put like 5 coats on it and tomorrow I'm buffing and polishing my entire cb7 to try and get that seattle silver look out of it hopefully it works. and tell me what you think.

    Well done. Looks like it came out really good.

    Black is so hard to rattle can without leaving lines over large surfaces like hoods.

    Car's clean.

      Why don't you buy some seattle silver paint and paint it the original color while your at it? They sell duplicolor bottles for $7, damn cheap if you ask me. Just practice spraying with some cheap spray until you are satisfied with how your paint job came out!

              Yeah, I bet you walked right by the paint when you bought the black paint lol.

              Duplicolor has a whole range of colour matched paints for most manufacturers.

              It'll obviously come out a little bit darker than your original paint, but it'll still look pretty decent.

              However, I'm digging the black hood look. I'd rock it that way.

              Now black house your headlights with the leftover paint!

                          looks good but while you were at it you couldve smoothed out those two passenger side dents with tiger hair and body filler, that wouldve taken you an extra 15-20 mins. Still props on the spray bomb job. ever seen the faux carbon fiber look? Youve got the base already set, black base then you take those spongy things you line drawers with and lay that down and mist silver over them, bam looks like CF from far away.
