I Painted My Shaker Blue!!!

[RCodeGrl]

Made ya look! :D




Seriously... Mine's spent 3 years and 74000 miles in the sun and the shaker was looking a little sick. ITLRUN hooked me up with some fresh paint today and I think it looks 100% better. Whatcha think?

Like new!! Nice job.

[K PONY]

Looks good what brand paint did you use ?

[RCodeGrl]

Rustoleum - semi flat black. Home Depot special. ;)

[K PONY]

Have to keep that in mind if I ever have to paint mine. :THUMBSUP:

[birdman941]

Looks great.
I will probably do mine soon.

[GrimlokTT]

Looks good.

[markthenarc]

Nice! 74,000 miles...WOW! So hows the car treated you for that many miles?
Any issues...MAJOR ISSUES....not squeaky dash panels or anything.

[GreyMach]

Back To Black is something you need to look into

Back To Black is something you need to look into Just about to say the same thing.

[mmustangsrus]

[Sublimemach]

awesome.. looks nice.. but it doesnt look blue to me.. lol.. looks black

Kelly,
I for one, want to add my vote. I think it was a great thought to repaint the faded black back to it more finished look. Back to Black is like putting vaseline on your lips instead of lipstick. A much better look for you! ;)

LOL I was going to compare it to putting Armor All on bald tires hoping it would add tread... but I like your analogy better!




And Bill... some things are just better left to the imagination... :ANGEL:

[marycorend]

[NJ 03Mach1]

Question, how did you prep it before spraying?

[24kmach]

Looks good.
:THUMBSUP:

[machwal]

Was lookin forward to a blue shaker.

[bris09]

About time you show that car some TLC, instead of giving it all to Joe. J/K Looks great

[ITLRUN]

Question, how did you prep it before spraying?


Soap and water. After it was dry, I wiped it down with some acetone to remove any grease and grime. Then I painted it with several light coats of paint while it was sitting in the sun. :THUMBSUP:

[machfelon]

Looks Good! :)

[bart03m1]

[mach1girl]

Looks great....Ive noticed some sun lightning on mine, will have to keep that in mind.

[98StangRidah]

Was lookin forward to a blue shaker.
haha, I was curious to see what it would look like too :23:


nice mileage girl, dayum!

[todd4566]

Looks great. I used the same paint to add some coats on my shaker extension. Did you primer the shaker first, or just spray it with the paint? I'm thinking of painting mine too since Pigspit only keeps my shaker black for so long. :)

[RCodeGrl]

No primer... just cleaned it good and wiped with acetone.

[Mach1BullittMan]

Rustoleum - semi flat black. Home Depot special. ;)Next time try using Azure Blue touch-up paint in the can and then tell us :attention you painted it black :23:. Looks like new and I like it good job there RCodeGrl :THUMBSUP:.

[JusMachN]

Looks good... Ya you fooled me, was really hoping to see a nice AZ Blue shaker sitting there..

[02mach1]

Looks great! Rcode so, Tony #20 didn't help :santa: :tongue:

[Mach 1 Fireman]

Looks good Kelly. BTW when we going back to the dragon?

[RCodeGrl]

[Catman]

+1

Mine is a bit faded I think after sitting in the sun for almost 3 years, wish I had a darn garage.

[Catman]

No primer... just cleaned it good and wiped with acetone.

Dumb question here, did u actually take it off your car and all apart when u painted it?
