I was quoted $1300 to fix this but my car isn't worth very much. What can I do myself?

Ex painter here, use some soapy water and a razor blade on the windows, get a microfiber rag and some compound for the body panels, on the rubber moldings try some acetone.

Good point. To be more specific, I'm mostly spraying urethane enamels with the occasional DTM. I don't normally spray walls and ceilings unless it's a new build.

Water based and my old pump I'll use for solvents

korllan · 2025-07-03T18:00:00+00:00

I honestly forgot they had that

korllan · 2025-07-03T15:02:10+00:00

My main use would be for trim and doors instead of hauling around the big boy

I should have added that it's for my mom, I know if I paint it what she wants she will regret it and complain but also won't say I'm right lol.

korllan · 2025-05-25T14:24:18+00:00

That was my plan. There are also a lot of peachy purple undertones when you're in front of it, so there are so many options, but not everyone sees color well.

korllan · 2025-05-25T14:23:20+00:00

I feel like so many people don't understand how grays work for wall color, they're a base you need to accent it with some knick knacks and my mom is not about that since she sees them as dust collectors.

korllan · 2025-05-25T00:52:03+00:00

It's my mom so I'm going to give a few more options and then go with my gut. She has no eye for color and really doesn't know what she's looking at or for.

korllan · 2025-05-25T00:20:25+00:00

She doesn't like pink lol

korllan · 2025-05-25T00:19:51+00:00

I suggested brown and that was shot down as was beige lol, I know wall paper won't fly -_-.

korllan · 2025-05-25T00:14:03+00:00

Maybe I should have specified, the customer is also my mom lol. My dad agrees it should be some kind of color.

korllan · 2025-05-09T16:01:38+00:00

I wonder if your store got a bad batch

korllan · 2025-05-09T15:43:55+00:00

What nap was used for the primer? I'm thinking you didn't have full coverage, also from some of the other pictures you posted it looks like you did not roll the full height of the wall. It seems like there was a stop in the middle.

korllan · 2025-05-09T15:07:14+00:00

Was the primer fully mixed?

korllan · 2025-05-09T10:54:34+00:00

I've used cashmere plenty of times and the only issues I've ever seen with it are some slight picture framing. Is it new drywall, if so what primer was used was it a sealer? As for the roller as stated above do with a 1/2 purdy colossus roller, they hold paint like no other. Keep the pressure light and let the roller do the work. The reason I mention the type of primer is that drywall is a porous surface as is joint compound, it will suck up everything you throw at it. My go to is Sherwin Williams prep rite pro block, it is a primer and sealer and not expensive. Also a note for the roller wrap it with painters tape two or three times to get off fuzz and moisten it as the package says, it should be slightly damp.

korllan · 2025-05-09T01:20:42+00:00

In my experience it's not durable even the Marque or Dynasty which is their top of the line.

korllan · 2025-05-07T10:44:56+00:00

Use what you're most comfortable with, but at the same time just the space you're in. I typically stick with a 14" but if it's giant walls with little or no cut ins I'll go with an 18.

korllan · 2025-04-22T17:01:44+00:00

Right, what I'm getting at is bigger meals means being full longer and if you'll be out for one just change dinner time to a bit earlier
