you need to make your way out to cali next year and paint my car im sure i can find a booth somewhere

 

First 2 time in one year btw!

 

lmao Im waiting for some1 to do a pearl white cobalt, but instead of like a normal pearl white thats white with silver pearl in midcoat, do it white with blue pearl in the midcoat, or flake even. I think that would be sweet. Have like an Ice theme. I would like to see some1 do that. but since i sprayed this i have so many people who want me to paint **** and i dont have a booth to spray it in! im sure if i bought one it would pay for itself real quick

lmao i know right. and ill get some when i get it all assembled and take some nice shots

 

You would make so much money lol. Do you know how much this cost you to do all together?

 

I don't think the materials are much more than $300, give or take.

It's the time that kills. All the prep work, and the spray time, masking etc.

Correct me if i'm wrong Kevin, but this would be like a $5-7k paint job. Or more.

 

Well, I was confident it was gonna look good, but dang! Congrats buddy. Not only did you have enough vision and taste to pull off a very unique, but very awesome color, but you did it yourself. That's something that not many people can say. Spraying candy well is one of the holy grails of paint work, and you pulled it off on your rookie attempt! Very, very impressed. This car will be an absolute KILLER when it's all back together.

 

^yea about that. the prep work is where they get ya. Cause it takes awhile, and alot of attention to every detail. All dissasembly of the car, then all reassembly. Not including the custom fiberglass spoiler that was 3 weeks straight working on. And all the interior pieces, engine bay, headlight eye-lids, rims, calipers, grills, all that bullshit they would have raped on. And materials wound up costing me 500-600. Probobly inbetween those 2 numbers leaning on the right end of the spectrum. But I could have gone cheaper if I had gotten cheaper clearcoat, but I wanted something a bit better.

And heres the original photoshop i did b4 i decided to paint, I think I can succesfully say it came out even better then I planned

When/If you move to long island, PLEASE hit me up for a photoshoot. I'd love to take pictures of your car....

 

absolutely bud im going up there in 3 weeks, but i dont think ill be taking my car. last thing it needs is 12 hours of I95 1 way

 

Oh yea more thing. How in the hells did you get your tails so shiny. I sprayed hella clear and doesn't come close. It's like a mirror

 

man small contoured surfaced like tail lights and motorcycle parts and **** are so easy to get to look like a mirror when you spray it with a real gun and clear and not rattlecan.

 

Truth.

 

looks absolutely amazing!

 

Looks so awesome can't wait to see the finished pics!

 

wow....i don't even know what to say, its that great!...haha

 

I have completely changed my mind on the valve cover! I LOVE IT! Looks so much better with it in the bay and along with the fuse box cover. Freakin Sweet bro!

 

I was kinda sad to see the yellow go, but that new color is pretty mean lookin'...good job man..NC represent!

 

Dude, that color is sexy! If/when I get my car repainted in the future I'm looking you up.

 

wow you asswhipe i have been wanting to turn my ss/tc sunburst forever that color never gets dirty just a easy wash and its back to looking good

 

best balt ever
can't wait to see the finished pics

 

I LOVE your engine bay.

 

at a glance it looks kinda like som but it is alot better

 

the engine bay needs a REAL good detail, its covered in crap right now. and i need to throw my intake on and then ill take some pics. Thatll be sometime next week after everything is installed and the car just gets its first good detail

 

I say COTM next time no problem!

 

I second that.
