Default how to paint your body kit like a redneck!

How to paint like a redneck
1. go buy a cheap a$$ body kit off of e bay
2. Save that big box and use it as a table
3. Find a good tree limb and use a tie strap to hang the bumper
4. Get that cheap plastic table off the deck and put it to some use
5. Get some primer, paint, sandpaper and a bunch more crap to paint with
6. paint, sand, paint, sand, paint, sand, ect
Don't think this will work? I have pic's to prove it!

Don't spray bambi in the eye when he runs out of the woods. Looking good.

I am not sure I go the paint from a buddy of mine that used it on his PW xB. The primer, sandpaper, ect was around $200
The gun came from NAPA around $50 I think

well this is my first time ever painting a car and trust me i am no paint and body man!
Sofar it hasn't truned out that bad I think. It's no show class paint job for sure but it means allot more to me knowing I did all the work on the car but build the box in the back ( was working allot then ) Real rides are built by the owner with blood sweat and beers! Anyone with a bank roll can take a car to someone to do up for them but how many rides at the last show you went to was built by the owner? Chances are not to many. I am not knocking anyone but to me this way means allot more.

... YES! YES!!

agree with you entirely!

there are some nice rides built out there.. but true respect goes to the people who put in their own money, blood and sweat.... and i have bled many a times working on my car as well as helping friends as well.

btw.. great paint job! i love the hanging bumper.
