Tips And Hints For Car Re-spray For Effective Car Modification.

The most fantastic way of car modification and to change the appearance of your car and to turn them into one of those pimped out cars is to re-spray it. One way to avoid the problem of scratches scrapes or paint degradation is to apply bare metal spray.
Spray cans are only appropriate when you are repainting at small scale. Repaint at big level will require a professional finish and therefore acceptable arsenal of car repaint equipment which includes filtered booth to avoid emission carcinogens and other environment damaging gases into the atmosphere and a high quality spray gun with different sizes of nozzle depending on the paint and finish required.
Before starting the car repaint jobs please make sure that the area is completely dust free. Performing car repaint is encouraged in a warm environment as it really makes your job easier and really enhances the finish of your paint. If you happen to be in a cold territory then make sure you have an access to a low bake oven.
Make sure you apply the right paint for the right job as varieties of different paints are available in the market all made for different purposes. For instance if you want to apply a flip paint or even want to give a special effect to your car by repainting it then both will require different types of paints. There are variety of effects to choose from which includes metallic, pearlescent, translucent and many more. Obviously the technique to apply these will differ accordingly. However I will presume a regular base paint in this article in order to just make myself clear.
Before you start to repaint your car make sure that you have complied with all the safety measures. The most important safety step before repainting your car is to cover your mouth with good filtration. The paint fumes are believed to be medically injurious to inhale so a normal decorator mask is not going to provide appropriate safety. Furthermore ensure that the area in which you are performing the repaint is well ventilated and there’s a good passage of fresh air.
As explained above spray paint cans are good only for small scale repaint. For large scale repaint you need to acquire a spray gun and good quality car paint. Moreover spray paint cans are more expensive on aggregate basis so if you are looking for a cool and stunning car modification through repaint you have to stop relying on spray paint cans. As large scale repaint means that you will be doing 5-6 thin mist coats so it would require at least 18-20 spray paint cans. So you can estimate the overall cost when you are trying to be a miser and avoid spending on spray paint gun and good quality car paint.
Now coming to the procedure. For your convenience I have tried to divide the whole procedure into sequential steps so you would feel easier to remember and act as explained in this article.

Step 1:
Wash thoroughly, the area where the paint has to be applied. Make sure that the sanding and filling has been done before you reach this stage. Even the slightest uneven body surface will stand out so keep on watching the car’s body from different angles and ensure that not even a slightest bump remains there. An effective technique to figure out any bump on the car is to wet the surface and use a lamp to inspect for any flaw. All the bumps can be seen if any.
Just in case you did not replace the old paint using paint remover and protected the metal with rust inhibitor, make sure that all the dust, grit and road film are removed via a good quality car cleaning fluid free of wax additives.

Step 2:
Do some clinical cleansing. Use a paper towel or a screen wipe which is more preferred and any solvent cleaner such as IPA or similar spirit used for cleansing purposes wipe over the surface to a smear free finish.

Step 3:
Masking. Be conscious of all the exposed areas which are going to get painted. If you are not able to apply masking even a few mm then you will have to endure some really annoying over-spray lines. The masking proves itself even more significant when you are to change the color of the car. Check for all the seams by opening the car’s doors, bonnets e.t.c. and of course don’t forget to remove the glass. The more plastic you will remove from the car the easier you are making your job.

Step 4:
Spraying. Make sure that the spray paint gun you are using ejects a good flow of paint and for this purpose first, test the pressure and flow by applying the paint on the small piece of a card and ensure that blobs and splatters are minimized. A really valuable tip seems to be appropriate here. When spraying paint do not aim to completely cover the metal but just smear the spray gun over the area with an even speed. Do not try to complete the job in just few thick coats. Remember that numbers of thin coats are better than few thick coats. Keep on moving the spray gun over the area with a regular pace. If you moved from right to left at first coat then move up to down in the second one as this will provide more detail. If only a portion of a car is to be painted i.e. a panel, then try to blend the paint with the surrounding panels as the paint is going to fade-off eventually. It is preferred to give a break of one hour between the coats. In majority cases the final touch has to be given through a lacquer coat. The final lacquer coat can be applied in series of thin coats.

Step 5:
After applying the lacquer, let it to go off for 2-3 days before waxing. Bring an end to the repaint job by applying fine grit of wet and dry paper then polish off with a cutting paste and then apply a good quality wax. Wax is necessary as it assists and protects the car when refitting the parts and accessories you previously plucked from it.

However, ignore step 5 if you want a matt (non-reflective finish).

Bonnet Split – Perform Some Creative Bonnet Styling.

Don’t you feel that the same old and convention bonnets are rather boring? And with the help of some creativity and hard work you can turn this boring and flat surface into a very interesting object which will give you a fresh look to your ride and its sure going to be appreciated by your friends and peers. What I am talking about is the “Bonnet Split”. After reading this article you will k now that having your bonnet split is not a difficult and risky thing to do and you can perform it yourself with the help of some everyday car parts.
First of all I want to say that bonnet split is the most dramatic car body modification which is really in now days. It gives a car whole new look so that instead of opening on a hinge at the top the bonnet opens from the middle and gives the impression of the bonnet getting split.
First, remove the bonnet from the car and make sure that you do not affect the rigidity of the bonnet. While you remove the bonnet have a look at where the supports are. For the sake of more strength you may need to weld additional support(s).
As I said in at the beginning that imagination and creativity plays a key role so there are never ending options of splitting your bonnet. You may cut it from the middle, off center, diagonal or even you can cut in triangular shapes or any other shape you think best suits your car. However the basic remains the same. Many car enthusiasts go for diagonal cut. Make a provision of a repaint in the end because the cutting will cause the paint to erode and thus expose them to corrosion.
Whatever shape you think to cut, mark the surface where the split is going to be performed with some heavy duty masking tape. To perform the split you can use angle grinder or jigsaw. Both have their own merits and de-merits. The choice is yours. An angle grinder is good in giving straight edge but it’s harder to cut shapes with it.
A decision would be needed by you about deciding that which part is going to be a leading edge because an overlapping seam would be needed to weld on the other half in order to rest on it. After that balance the weights on the either sides using spring mechanism. Rear parcel shelf stay can also be useful for this purpose.
The idea behind using the stay is to give a smooth opening mechanism and reduce the amount of spring strength required. Hinges are required to be fitted outside the edges of the bonnet and they should be connected to the car just to make sure that no problem occurs while opening and the joint where the two edges of the split bonnet meet is even and harmonized.
After the adjustment and fixation of the hinges and the halves respectively, the bonnet is ready for the opening and closing mechanism. Keeping in mind, the weight of the bonnet, appropriate sets of springs should be installed for the purpose of counter balancing the pistons.

Adding Alloy And Chrome Alloy Wheels

Enkei Racing GTC01 - Hybrid Wheels 17

Alloy Wheel - GSpider - 18 (Lexus GS 450h 2007-2008)

In this article I am going to discuss the technicalities of modifying your car with an alloy wheels.But before performing some wheels modification you should be well aware of your car's nature.Different cars have different nuts or bolts on their wheel hubs and it heavily depends on the internal space of the car wheels.So you should be well aware of the P.C.D of your car wheels.P.C.D stands for pitch center diameter or to be more simple its a diameter of the circle of the wheel drawn from the wheel's bolt holes.It is usually measured in millimeters and along with that it also indicates that how many studs the wheel could have.For P.C.D of 4x100 would mean a wheel of 100mm circle having 4 bolts at its center.So before messing with your car wheels you should be aware of some basic jargons like these.

Now coming to the modification of alloy wheels.Many people would go for the complicated designs and that's natural because the complicated ones have the potential the to divert others attention towards itself.However a major issue of its cleaning arises.Obviously you would find a complicated designs more difficult to clean and if the dust keeps on accumulating,the shine tends to fade away also snatching its attractiveness.Spinners also introduces a degree of complexity nevertheless they are turning out to be integral component in modifying car wheels.So optimization is something which you should be looking for all the way.

When fitting alloying wheels be aware of your car's general color theme and also about the type of alloy wheels which are going to be installed on your car.Chrome alloy wheels are most effective on dark colors because of their

shiny finishing.However now a days most wheels can be painted so opening a list of never ending options.After you install the wheels make sure to fit balancing weights to be fitted inside.Most alloy wheels allow the view of brake disc and calipers so see to it that they are well painted and in a good condition so that they don't bring you embarrasement.Painting the brake disc is also very popular now a days.Its up to you that what kind of paint you prefer for your brake discs.However if you ask from me i would choose a color which compliments the overall color scheme of my car's body kit rather than going for contrast because I feel that its way too loud.However the choice is yours its only my personal opinion.

In the end,be conscious of the size of wheels you are adding to your car.Amendments in the wheel size means that your car needs to be re-aligned again.Any negligience to this department may lead in the loss of car handling and obviously some serious damage.So be careful!!!

Car's Body Kit Modification

Car's body kits for primary purpose are used as cosmetic tools for your car yet they have a potential of implicating a dramatical change in the appearance of the car.However applying just a body kit and assuming that car modification job has been performed very well is a misconception many amature car modifiers bear.One should always choose a body kit best aligning with the lines of your car.Kits requiring spray and paint should be properly sprayed or one should be prepared to spend extra bucks once the kit starts to peel off.

One problem faced during a car modification or installing a new body kit is that the colors seldom match with whole car and it is very difficult to find or maintain the right color combination for your car.However good opportunity arises when fitting a new kit to respray the whole car so to have a suitable color combination.

Some tips regarding front bumber and grill seems to be appropriate here.New bumpers especially the front one lack the physical strength as compared to the standard one so provide less prtection against any crash.Similarly new grills, one finds it usually to be very difficult to install when the remaining body kits has been already applied.So when installing grills and vents one should be very conscious of the order with which he is going to install the body kit or a lot of time will be wasted in fitting and unfitting the kit.

Off the shelf body kits may look attractive in their packings but they rarely compliment the car and most of the time they fail to enhance the look of the car.So the best way is to get your car a new custom body kit from any specialist body shop.But remember when you have opted for yourself to become a car modifier then dont be a miser in spending some extra bucks on good quality body kits.This hobby sure requires some high investments.Going for cheap low quality kits would simply mean that you are wasting your money and time.Don't ever be reluctant in spending some money on good ones as well fitted body kits can prove to be real investments which is definitely going to pay off in future in the form of sponsorship contracts and air time at local TV programs.

A good way to ensure that all the parts are fitted in their required order,read the instruction manual carefully on the packing of the body kits and make sure all the parts provided in the list are present.Just lay down all the parts around the car and hold them against body work in order to make sure for the best fit.

Cutting holes for the exhaust,ensure that you always strive for 1-2cm wider than what actually is required so that you dont have to face any irritation just in case you mismeasured the required diameter of the hole.However to measure the hole's diameter,use cardboard template for best results.

Many people love to spray their kits before fitting it to the car.However much better results have been witnessed when the kit is sprayed on the vehicle.Carbon fiber panels are much lighter than an ordinary one and they are best in reducing the overall car weight as well as maintaining the rigidity.Are you fed up of small scratches occured mostly during the parking??Well again installation of good quality kits seems to be the only remedy for this problem besides being more conscious on the road.

Low skirts beside enhancing the look of your ride also increases the cornering speed but a bad job in fitting them can cause the problems of grounding at bumps as well as drastic effects on the cooling ability of the engine.At the end make sure to check the temperature guage to ensure that the car is not heating up quickly because of installation of new body kit.Be careful to fit the kit on stiffer suspension.This will sure have some implications on the usability of the car but it will avoid the problems of grounding of your car because of the new weights of body kits applied to your ride.
