Can we spray paint ourselves?
« on: November 24, 2008, 08:57:04 PM »
was wondering instead of letting the workshops do the job

can we DIY?

tools like the spray gun, compressor can be easily bought .. just get the colour code and it should be ok rite ?

might be ex at first but imagine the stuff we can do, touch up scratches, visors, front grille...

wat do u guys reckon ?

If we screw up the the SMALL section that we wanted to paint => the car will have 2 tones colours liao leh..

then either  :crycry: or spray the whole the car ...

This is even more risky leh..

IMO, i think not worth trying to spray ourselves.. scully we try to save $200-300, but end up spending $2000-3000
