How to half ass paint a Ninja Turtle Car in 2 days & argue with other S13 owners
I felt that maroon was boring, so I was going for a green pearl. What I got was more of a money-ish green pearl, and with the help of blue painters tape, resulted in a crapload of ninja turtle jokes. Im switching over to a better fitting driver side fender and pignose bumper OINK OINK! Heres the progress.
Start out with THIS:
Take THIS:
Mix it up with some GREEN:
Get some foam rollers and lather it on:
And be amazed.
Although its not done, and looks like some pale turqoisey green, its actually the color of money with gold flake. I expect it to get darker as it dries, and I add more coats. Thats only one coat.
And here is Jeremy with his Sil80 Rising Sun Hood Project going on right behind me.
Drew out the hood design:
SPRAY PAINT white (dont mind the overspray :P)
Adding the red:
Finished Project:
And the FINALE:
I will post more pics when we make progess on my car. I hope it turns out, right now its not exactly what I had in mind, but who knows, it could be one of those crazy colors that wins over everyones heart! Maybe..Maybe..Please????? lol
Update: Beginning of day 2 pics. This stuff dries fast as hell, it started raining and the paintjob isnt even 12 hours old, and its cured. Anyways, the pearly effect went away when it dried, leaving me with seafoam green lol. I dont know if I like it yet, I might be going black and be done with it. Depends on how far I want to go with this project.
Anyways, you can see the progress here:
