Buy about 30 cans of tremclad and go nuts.

if i was 10 maybe... tips on prep work?
Marko

Light sanding unless you have to do rust or dent repair.
Tremclad does not need primer.

i'll try it out.
thanks man

I just noticed it was a CRX, you mite want to start with about 10 cans.

painting your rex
 

you will need about 2.5 - 3 cans per side and ta least 2 for the hood and roof

dont use tremclad it fades and lokks like crap after 3 months use armour coat it has a nice smooth finish and looks sweet in the rain:smilie_da

is armour coat a brand?? what stores carry it??

armour coat
 

yes its the brand, i purchased mine at crappy tire but wally mart prob has it too

you very rarely see flat blacks turn out nice, so good luck to you!

it will turn out crappy if you do shitty prep and if you lay it on too thick to start, just wet sand with at least a 600 grit and give it a very light spot coat all over nice and even especially if you are covering another colour like red

umm lol..why would you do it in a driveway where there is wind and horrible overspray? at least have it in a protected place where you wont get grit and dust all over it. why not spend the extra time and not make it look like such a bag? good luck with this one man..post some pics when finished i'd like to see how it turned out.

i was giving him the benifit of the dought and believing it would be done in his garage, my neigbours didnt like the overspray on their windows...jk
