Hey Jeff a friend of mine his dad painted a car with gloss house paint and thined it out with petrol LOL we all shook our heads but dam it came out pretty good. But i think my worst paint miss hap was not on a car but a job i painted at work doing top coat, i walked away for a minut came back and picked up an undercoat gun. Lesson learnt 1 gun around when top coating.

@r1son I always pull the fan down to round turn my pressure down to do a small area then forget to set it back and start shooting the main panel.

I once sprayed a toyota Hilux in a field with a 10 mph wind blowing side on to the truck . The paint was a very cheap synthetic, like house gloss .The up wind side came out good !!!!,the paint was blown onto the panels . Down wind was a nightmare I ended up holding the gun about 3 inches from the tin, but could not get the paint on wet .well not on the truck me I was covered. So I had gloss with bits of nature in one side and dry matt on the other try and flat and buff synthetic .

@redneckracing01 I thought you could have sprayed the one side then pulled the truck around and did the other, just kidding.

I wonder if anyone has a story about one of those Carcoon spray booths deflating in the middle of a paint job.

[jamesfreddys]

@2435rats I asked that too.

I worked in a body shop many years ago. Only thing they would let me paint was farmers tractors (that John Deer paint was very forgiving). Tried to paint a few cars, never turned out very well. If there's one thing I learned it was if it's something you care about, leave the final painting to the professionals. Like you said Jeff, there is A LOT that goes into a good paint job. Equipment, materials, and TONS of experience. Not to discourage anyone from trying it, but know there is a lot to it

I painted a 1987 iroc a few years ago and moved it to the side of the shop intending to cut and buff the next day. The owner came by after I had gone for the day and installed his new car cover. The next afternoon I found the car with the cover stuck in the clear all over. Literally had to rip the cover from the car. Had to completely strip to bare metal and start over. One terrible mess.

Dang and double dang !!!!!. Why didn't I think of that ???.

I had a gold top on a guitar on the bench ready tor the sand and polish. I grabbed my overhead light to adjust it and the base of the bulb blew out and sent a burning ember down onto the guitar that burned through the paint into the wood in a split second.

My worst paint screw up is probably going to be a mix of all the responses you got LOL Luckily we got a paint shop not for from our door where you can rent a pro paint booth. I hear those guys laughing already hahaha...
