arvin_arn thanks! I was supposed to do it at the auto skills center but they were closed.

[@LesterTheMalestrr]

Nickodelic do you need military ID to get into the auto skills centers here in oahu?

[@Nickodelic]

Bryn C Sorry didn’t see this comment till now lol. Yeah, you need a Military or DOD ID card.

[@walirifai]

Amazing paintwork for a DIY job! Lots of elbow grease but its a super clean and unique look. Casually decided to paint the whole car lol. What's the song at 4:45?

[@Nickodelic]

wali rifai Thanks for watching man! And yeah I was too deep into it to not paint the entire car lol. The song is High Noon by Toby Tranter.

[@lancejoseph704]

This was a very helpful video! I am in the process of repainting the quarter panel and bumper on one of my cars. Did you use "1k" or 2k" products. I was doing some research but I'm getting conflicting info about paint compatibility with urethane paint. I'm curious what you used? Thanks!

[@Nickodelic]

Hey sorry for the late reply, I haven’t been getting notifications lately. I used a 2k urethane clear. Good luck with the painting!

[@SimcaOfTheSwallows]

Yoooo that came out sick!!! I keep watching your vids and I wish I was pro like you!! Help me paint my car next? Cheeeeee

Octovr thanks man!

[@kerseljoseph6668]

Awesome buddy. What's the color code you used?

[@Nickodelic]

Nissan FG0

[@funez-]

Got a question bro, do you have to primer the body after sanding it? 1-3 times? How come you just sanded and just went straight to painting?

[@Nickodelic]

Sorry, late response. Im not a professional but I don’t think primer is necessary unless you are starting with bare metal or plastic. I skipped priming the car cause I was on a budget. Just scuff and shoot, not show quality but good enough for what I needed.

[@wollie178]

Sweet

[@GreenEyesAnthony]

Bro, you did a great job! If you were closer, i'd have you paint my IS300!

[@sidemanplus]

Is the front bumper in fiber glass ?

[@andrecastro3459]

Nice works. How did you manage to remove the door jam steps that look like the pedals?

[@Nickodelic]

@@andrecastro3459 it’s been a while but I think they are just held in with clips. You can use a flathead or pry tool to pop it out.

[@Quincy9811]

Nice !!

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

The color looks good. Great job man. *Was that a harbor freight gun? *How much did all the supplies cost you for this color? *What was the total timeline to get this repaint done?

[@Nickodelic]

Welcome To The Madness Thanks man! Yeah I used a harbor freight paint gun. I used their purple gun for base coat and the silver gun for clear coat. But I prefer the purple gun because I liked how it sprayed. Without the compressor I’d say I spent about $1000 for everything. Paint and clear was $450. Primer for the bodykit was around $150. And all the other stuff like sand paper, tape, degreaser, plastic film was probably around $300. Add another $100 for some small stuff I may have forgot. Timeline was: Prep the body kit: major bodywork including sanding with 80-120 grit, sand with 220 grit, primer, fix any more issues revealed from primer, wetsand with 400 grit. Prep the car: remove/disassemble stuff if you want, scuff door jambs, wetsand car with at least 400 grit. I didn’t do much bodywork or priming on the car. Lastly mask off everything that will not be painted Last is the fun part which is to spray the car. Clean everything with wax and grease remover before painting. I’m not a professional! I’m just sharing my steps and process even through they may not be the correct way. The whole thing took 4 months for me to do from start to finish. I only worked on it about once a week and worst part was prepping the bodykit.

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Nickodelic Sweet, like you said it’s your first go at it. For the cost it’s even better. Some time and now you have some knowledge for the next time if you choose to do it again. I like the end result man! Congrats on your ride. It’s clean.

[@Jdmjas]

[@shahrahman7866]

What was the total cost of all the paint and tools?

[@Nickodelic]

Without the compressor, I'd say about $1000 Paint and Clear Coat - $450 (1 gallon for each) Primer - $150 (I kept buying aerosol cans) Harbor freight paint gun - $30 Prep material/misc - $300 (sand paper, tape, plastic sheet, small stuff here and there) I still have a lot of prep material left over such as sand paper and plastic sheets.
