THIS POST NEEDS ITS OWN THREAD CAUSE ITS AWESOME

My hood.
My chalkboard hood

Well today was in the 60-70s and I decided it would be better than nothing, so lets knock out the hood! I had no idea what I was doing in reality, and I can now share my know how with you guys!

Went to Lowes, and walked around for half an hour. Came out with this:

Kiltz2 latex indoor/outdoor primer
Valspar chalkboard paint
220 grit sandpaper
320 grit sandpaper
Small foam roller
Mineral spirits
Microfiber cloth
rolls/tape/etc (normal painting supplies)


First step was to wash the hood with normal dish soap and water. Then I dried it with a cotton towel, followed by mineral spirits and the microfiber cloth.

Next I wet sanded with the 220 grit paper. This really showed me there was no turning back, because it raped my clear coat (which is good, due to the primer)

\


Next I started on with the primer. I used half a quart overall, no specific 2 coats or whatever. I started on the drivers side, primed across, then just skipped around till the whole hood was white. DRY Sanded it smooth with 220 grit, and layed down more primer. Then I DRY sanded with 220 followed by 320 to get it smooth. No wet sanding because the paint wasn't super dry. You cant see a difference in coats lol



Then I layed down SO MUCH PAINT. 2/3 of a quart. Just kept covering and covering.
Havent sanded it (yet) not sure if I want to risk that


Doesnt look like total **** when your 2 feet away or farther.

Shoulda used a brush or a paint gun

Let me reword that. Use a damn paint gun. Roller = texture = meh
OSCAR HERE ARE YOUR PICTURES

 

put more coats of paint, wet sand it with 800grit then 1000grit. Then buy a **** load of clear coat and spray the **** out of it evenly. Make sure you spray at a proper distance so that its smooth, thick, but not so thick it will run.

 

Lol I cant clear chalkboard paint, that would defeat the purpose
But tomorrow ill be sanding it all super smooth and smexy

 

eww sand that bitch hahahah

 

Your hood looks like a fat chicks *** all bumpy textured and gross! LOL

Seriously tho do your whole car so I can decide if I want to. I really really do but not 100% on it!

 

god this car has been through hell in like no time at all

 

After you sand the paint you're supposed to rub chalk all over it to "prime" the paint to be ready for more chalk!

 

Haters

Anyway, I just spent about 6 hours, minus the pizza guy delivering food, wet and dry sanding.Went over the whole car in this order
220 wet
320 wet
400 wet
400 dry
600 wet
600 dry
1200 wet
1200 dry
2000 dry

Then ran to home depot and bought the best brush they have
Now, it looks niiiice

I was almost late to class, and im currently sitting in here covered in sanding material and paint. Lifes good

 

I havent done the chalk priming, because I may have the wrong chalk?

Its not "sidewalk chalk"

But generic *** rose art chalk.

 

That should work fine
