Cool. Im in Marietta right now. I move saturday into an apartment (sucks) in oakwood/gainesville area. Whenever i get a long enough break from school im going to paint it. I still have to shave the door handles and rear squirter...and still gotta mold the bumpers.

everyone is getting white cars now

i wanted to paint my car championship white...until like 4 other cars got painted white a week before nopi...i was like fuck! so suzuka blue was my second choice, i also thought about the sunset pearl color, its pimp


i think your car looks good as hell right now man, i wouldnt mess with shaving the bumpers, rear squiter and maybe doors will look alright, but i would bother with the bumpers.

but anyways im sur eit will look good with w/e you go with good luck with it

i wanna get a IA photoshoot thogethter sometime this fall like around t-giving

chuck
09-23-2005, 02:15 AM
don't do the S2K blue...its gay, i don't think anyone else should paint their car that color, haha

but for real i like the oranges...look into the imola orange from the NSX's, my brother was gonna do that on his teg, there is a picture out there somewhere of one already done, i'll see if i can round it up for ya

i wanted to get my crx repainted championship white. till i went to the kroger parkin lot after Nopi and i seen like 3 white rex's there, 4 just cruisin, and like 3 more on the way back. im leanin towards a new color myself. sry black_paper, not tryin to jack ur thread

chuck
09-23-2005, 02:33 AM
...a little different but you get the idea, looks real good with bronze or black wheels IMO...a lot better than that S2K blue, haha :D

I agree that the color looks good, but I've seen a whole lotta tegs painted a similar orange... So being *original* with that color is out of the question... In my opinion anyways....

chuck

lambo orange

:gay: , but very fitting

i also like the dark green i've seen, like on some stock M3's....also the slate grey/silver with some pearl, kinda like the mid 90's mustang, but the darker of the 2 greys...then there is always the black on black, can't go wrong with that and the solid red tails

mp5o
09-23-2005, 04:36 AM
Whatcha think about Vivid blue pearl?

09-23-2005, 04:42 AM
Here's VBP compared to EBP... Looks good eh?

you probably haven't seen any with the imola orange off the NSX though...and you could always add a different pearl to make it actually one of a kind...or pick like a canadian variance of the color code or something far away that probably no one has. but yeah, opinions are opinions...i just don't want him to do the S2K blue because i already told him i'm doing my car that color...kinda :D

Bishop
09-23-2005, 11:25 AM

everything is shaved except the rear squirter and door handles. Im going to do those when ever i have the time. I decided not to mold the bumpers. But i did mold the rear valence piece (piece below the taillghts)

So how did you shave your moldings ?

did you just pop them off and start filling in with bondo or what?

I have seen some people weld but most just put something behind the door and use bondo... wanted to know what you did and how its worked so far ?

Bishop
09-28-2005, 09:37 PM
oh no, i welded the holes up. Along with everyting else i shaved. Its the only right way to do it. If you dont weld it then its going to crack and come apart as time moves on.
