Yes i did paint it myself. It is not perfect, it is not as glossy like in a garage. But it was dirt cheap (since i'm not that wealthy) And i want it to be 100% own made :-) with help from friends.

Probly spend around 40-50 euro's TOPS at graffiti spray cans. (thinking i 3 to 5 layerd some parts)
The masking tape i got from my friend.
Masking paper i got from my huge bin (they deliver every 2 days ad papers)

Paintscheme is still abit off but it looks much better than before. Did you use special graffiti cans or something like motip?

Hey Zenki.

Yes the lines still are kinda crooked at 2 places. but i bet you that if i try tro fix it i wil fuck up the whole paintjob (olmoast happend once) But yes! it does look much better then before thank you

I just use normal grafitti. There is a store in Leuven called "giraffe" (look it up on google, giraffe records or giraff) They sell all kinds of graffiti.
cost 3.50 euro per 400ml can brand "hardcore", and does not need clear varnish. But i did use a couple of layers clear varnish for extra strengt.

I did use motip clear coating.

Looking back at it i couldve paint the whole car using motip, but that would have set me back around 100 euros

Painting the whole car like mine will set you back around 50 euros tops! including all the cans and clear varnish. Excluding masking tape since my friend brought these along.

Glad that you didn't paint wth motip. I used motip on a few parts of my car and it's really shitty paint. I've red a few threads of people who painted cars with graffiti paint and it's more durable paint.

I can comfirm that!
I painted my tuning front bumper of my Ford Puma in motip moonlight silver (original paint color from ford) and because i did not do it right the paint is all cloudy/ camo like .

Painted the whole AE86 with graffiti and ..... Its so "clean"

Graffiti is normally also really stronger
