DIY Budget Car Paint Job in My Garage For My Nissan 300ZX! Restoration Part 9: Body Repair, Painting

In this episode I finally tackle the car paint repair for my 300ZX. I repair some dents and scratches with Bondo body filler, block sand and body work, and prime my car for the DIY paint job. I turn my garage into a DIY paint booth with painter’s plastic and masking tape and do all of my autobody prep work, and test my luck with a cheap Amazon paint gun for my respray. I’m using a single stage Matrix automotive paint, hardener, reducer, thinner, and wax grease remover and keeping it under a budget of $180.

Next week: “I paint the fenders too because I find out my black paint was one shade lighter/darker than factory!” Lol
Bummer on the fish eyes. From what I know about auto paint and body (which isn’t a lot) the only way to fix that is sand down and repaint.

Painting a car in your garage is no joke. Hopefully the buffing and wet sanding fix most of the issues.

Great work as always! Loving how it's coming along. Agreed on the music, maybe switch it up. Also, maybe it's a personal preference but I think you could do a voice-over on a lot of the stuff instead of stopping and talking. Just a thought, again though good job!
