Painting Process
Well with my new hood chosen now I can truley start planning my paint scheme. IDC what anyone thinks but I'm gonna be doing a blue (very possibly sonic blue) flame scheme on my white car. I have to repaint the front fascia and would have to pain the new hood anyways so I'm goin to take advantage of my situation.
My question: the flames would go onto the front fenders only, not all the way onto the doors. Is it possible to take off JUST the clear coat on the fenders or would I need to repaint the fenders with the basecoat white? I assume they would strip some if not all of the fenders and not paint flames on top of the clear coat and then clear coat that again. |
Youd have to strip the paint and start over for the best results. its also a hell of a lot easier since they will be spraying white anyways.

any idea on how much it would cost to strip just the fenders, repaint, do a flame job (similar to the one pic attatched), a little black in the tips of the flame, and re clear coat?

600-1000 give or take on each side.

how much for the hood just paint. The colors I want would be basic, just the basic white, blue, and a little black, 600 for the hood??? or am i way off. I was thinking about 600 for both fenders

I know i know, lol, just trying to get a rough thought.
BTW, you installed your hood yourself correct? was it hard? |
I have a stock hood. lol
Hoods are easy as hell to install though. its 2 bolts on each side. youll need someone to help you hold it in place though. the most time is aligning it up. |
hahaha, I knew it was you and still thought it was lance, sry man. Yea thats what I thought tho, just bolts.
|
you will need to get hood pins too. no matter how good they say their latch is, I've heard too many horror stories of aftermarket hoods flying up on the highway/at highway speeds, costing thousands of dollars in damage to your, and other peoples cars, and endangering lives

So it looks like Whitethunder never went through /w his flamer theme, hehe...
