I painted my Skyline. - eviltoast

I have done a lot to this car over the last year, It started with me removing the rear subframe and fuel tank to do some welding. I am now going through every detail so it all works as it should.

I put all new suspension on Tein Flex with adjustable damping and ride height, The paint is Firenza red, As you can see my garage is not big so it’s hard to paint cars in there.

There was a post about a lack of posts here so I will post my other two projects as well.

    Now you’re asking :) I use a Devilbiss Gun with top feed and a 150L compressor with water trap and regulator, As for the paint, All I know is the mixed the colour 50/50 with thinners but the clearcoat was 2K. All that over a high build primer. I leave the details to my local motorfactors who have paint experts, They find out what you are doing and set you up with the right stuff and the technical data. My Vans are both just 2K. Painting cars is really my weak point, Hence my nerves at using a 2 stage on the Skyline.

      Awesome, thanks for the deets! That’s a great looking color - with that inspiration I may have to take the plunge and do my RDX…!
