New paint = time 4 POLL!
« on: February 07, 2009, 05:53:38 pm »
I've had my 1990 mk2 jetta primed for paint for ages now and i need help deciding on paint so I'd love your guys' input!

I'm a little taken on gloss black but the body of the car isn't perfect. You can see what body damage there is here...
http://vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=16482&start=0

But i like the flat primer it is right now (same thread) so i could do a light coat with an HVLP i have just to fill in those hideous roller marks with flat black. (yes i used a roller)


i do loooveee the flat black look... Tremclad is your friend.
Mine is identical to this one minus the white walls. I have flat bbs style rims. minus the flares and minues the plastic body panels.

Lemme know! Please vote on the poll!
