Ahoy

I just bought one of these cameras from moo, highly recommended. Seemed a few people asked for sample so I thought why not show my s*** paint work :)

Here are some progress photos of my 72 Superbeetle before and after

This was when I first got the car, just a rolling shell no engine s***house electrics interior crud.

So yeah Needs an engine + some rewiring and the interior fixed and hopefully it will be on the road again

How much was the camera worth? I haven't got a digi-cam yet so if it's cheap I would be interested. Doesn't have to be S-Marts top of the line range, as long as it looks clear.

$170 rev, you know you wanna

Hehe, I know I do.

I have a few things to buy for New Years so if Moo still has them in a couple of weeks I will get one.

he'll still have 'em Rev... except from Christmas Eve - 5th of January he can't get them, so email him (ragingcows@optushome.com.au) if you want one :)

It looks cool as far as I can see.....
Those cars are teh bom!

can u show us what the quality is like at high res's

i.e 800x600 and above plz?

rather then flood the forum, whats your msn, ill send you the high res shots

If I didn't think the VW Beetle was the ugliest car ever to grace the planets surface, I'd be wowed.

Still, well done, if that's your bag.

Skyhawk how much it cost you to paint the car its slef, im gonna by a car soon and was just wondering how much it was goona cost to paint it my self also, did you have to strip the original paint off if so how....sorry to change the subject!!

sorry to change the subject!!

You're not sorry, or else you wouldn't have done it in the first place.

well just dont see the point in starting a hole new thread for this i only want a simple respones

about $250 for the entire job, I did it with spray cans. I had a gun and compressor but it was shooting like fairy floss, depends on the paint ice, if its nice and smooth it should be ok, but if its chipped and peeling, bare metal :0

ok thanx, $250 is alot better than $800-$1000 done be a "Profesional"

$1000?, Thats cheap, its usually about $2000-5000


If you need any help, msn :)

paint looks good.... what camera is that i bought a Benq DC2410 ( http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts.aspx?qryPart=3233 )as a present for someone for chrissie and even at the lowest settings it shats all over those shots...

Very dodgy. U will never get a good finish with can no way. i take pride in keepin my car clean and tidy and thus i had the car repsrayed by a professinal i new had roof / bonet / b00t repainted for 500 flat. Im pickin up an Rx4 Coupe soon as well and know its going to coast me about 3000 - 5000 for a total respay inside and out if i wont one. Quality cost money. Why do all that work on car then pain with spray cans.
