Hi,

Nice car and nic video, thanks! Did you sand this down to the primer base and prime it again or did you sand it to the metal, im asking because im thinking about soda blasting a jeep I have but the soda blasting is more than half the price of a good paint job! Would it be normal to apply primer in the way you did, many thanks please explain if you can, i dont know much about this subject.

[andreasblochmanz]

wowwww how much u spend for re-spray?? (nice video!!)

[atedol]

@andreasblochmanz did it myself and cost about $650

[andreasblochmanz]

[silinskas]

Nice paintjob mate :) Thumbs up :)

[wilsonnw]

I always seem to have trouble with acrylic paints, any specific tips for the DIY re-sprayer?

[honda900fz]

thank fuck she didn't want it pink

[ahcrx]

hey this is a top video....im in the mode of repainting my 88 crx and i was wondering if you can spray clear over a solid colour?? one other thing 800 wet rub will only fade the existing paint right??...my car is straight.

[atedol]

check out my honda del sol re-spray. and use 400 wet and dry.or use 280 and top it off with 400 w/d.

[MrCorrosive101]

great looking job, i mean it!! i saw the MG logo, i'm in Canada i didnt know they were still making them, great looking car, but woundnt survive on our roads or weather, tooo bad:)

[jacktharipper3]

thats nuts for a home job goodwork. id just get vinal instead

[atedol]

It cost me about $700 for the complete re-spray

[woody4114]

how much all that cost? looks awasome btw

[atedol]

prime, colour and clear coat AU$700

[suzushistorm]

MGF looks great! Next thing is to get ready for when the head gasket goes. Unfortunately all MGF are reknown for this fault. Mine's blown twice! Make sure your daughter keeps an eye on the coolant especially in summer. NIce job!

[TheRaxyl]

Thanks mate, I was hoping you got it here in Australia. I got a quote for shipping from the UK, the splitter its self was cheap enough but shipping was about £200.00

[atedol]

I paid nowhere near that, I thought freight was about 70-80 pound. I'll see if I can find who I bought it of and let you know, because they're worth buying and they hold the car well.

[TheRaxyl]

Great Job there, that is quite a stunning F. If you don't mind me asking where did you get the KH style Splitter, I'm looking for one for my F

[atedol]

Thanks...you can try Ebay England.and if you do, you can notice that it holds the car better on the road.

[NotAfraidOfYou]

nice...!!! love the stripes

[therealFranzpan]

Man thats awsome! are you a proffesional or have you just taught yourself? i would love to have a go

[atedol]

Just taught myself.

[therealFranzpan]

great! Painting the trim inside yellow realy sets it of, looks brill.

[electricdixie34]

is it me but @ 4:27 it looks like you have painted your garbage lid the same yellow.lol

[electricdixie34]

nice job mate looks like my paint gun is coming out again! wasnt going to bother but youjust changed my mind...10/10

[atedol]

once it was black and boring...now wherever it goes,it gets lots of attention.

P.S. don't forget the stripes.

[electricdixie34]

oh i wont this is the best looking 1 i ever seen, mine is blue at mo but looks like you made me order sum yellow!..thx. mark uk

[alexdude06]

Just like to say that is one of the best MGF's i've ever seen

P.S.

Is it a Mk2 1.6, with the 15" vvc look a like wheels?

[atedol]

thanks..it is just a standard 1.8 dressed up.and if u have an mgf sprayed this colour, you'll be amazed at the attention it gets.

[freeriderhp]

nice job looks great.. how many liters of primer, base and clear did you use?

just wondering as im painting my car soon.

[atedol]

thanks ...used approx 2 ltrs of primer, 4 ltrs of sunburst yellow and 2 ltrs of clear

[freeriderhp]

thanks mate youve been alot of help

[Leon112006]

very nice. :-)

[lsdotcom]

Nice vid and the car looks great. I like how you sprayed the inside of the car too. I'm gonna be getting my car resprayed soon, so I think I might do the inside too after seeing this!

I like the wheels too. They look really nice.

[brad213]

Its common knowledge racing stripes add an easy 10hp lol.Awsome job mate iam thinking of doing my own car to, its a bit dawnting.What is the differences with using an acrylic to a 2pac coat.

[atedol]

Acrylic is air dried and 2pac is oven fired.Don't forget the pod filter.Sounds gr8.
