The $30 paint job

[fested]

I used a can of tremclad, thinned it with mineral spirits, and sprayed it through a conventional HVLP spray gun. Turned out fantastic.
Just allow proper dry time between coats. No extra finishing, or buffing.

Dear Fested,

I would like to file a complaint with the audio-visual department please... the lack of pictures in this thread makes me very sad. Please provide a suitable remedy as soon as is conveniently possible. Regards,

Aaron

Happy?

Such sass.

[Grey Vw]

I did the exact same thing. I was thinking nice...nice... until I saw the spoiler. I really like the stripe.

Such sass.

[lanemeyer14]

Dig the stripe and the cheap paint job in general!

[DrMaxwellEdison]

don't care for the spoiler you have but I like the stripe though... I also like the alternating rim colors

looks great .....man the economy has even got the A team switching to festiva's

ahh, the spoiler, a thorn for some, amusement for others. Firstly, it started as a joke, then, when a friend handed it to me, free of charge, I had to oblige.
The colour of the black, is black. No guff intended. It's literally tremclad's flat black.
Mismatched rims were unintentional. Haha. I've since changed to 13" metro rims and snow tires.

flat is what i was looking for. it looks satin

Tremclad is the same as rustoleum right???

[fested]

I would imagine so. Any "rust paint" sold by the gallon will do. It's all essentially the same stuff.
