Finally finshed the paint project today. It came out real good. Painted it 05 BMW Alphine white. Will let it stit for 2 days then wet sand the clear coat.. What do you guys think? First time painting and I used a base/clear coat on it.. Painted it in my garage.. Now the car should be done for 7stock. New dash and door panels are going in this week..

 

holy **** you painted everything didn't you?

 

very nice job looks great and love the front end and lights and hood

 

you wanna paint my car?

 

holy **** he did paint everything!!! even the marker lights and trim!!!

looks great. i like the header panel, the headlight vent, the hood vent, the mariah hatch, the front bumper the skirts (same as mine). hell i like it all, except maybe the taillights. they're just so big, bug then again they do match the foglight holes on the bumper.

good job

 

The masking tape is still on.. lol

 

very nice were you get the body kit pieces from?

 

i saw that on the window, and i was like WTF MATE?

 

I got the body kit in Japan back in 1987. I've had the 7 for a while..

 

I love the front!!! but the back...THE STOCK FB LIGHTS!!! NOOO you changed them1!!! hmm well its your car...looks nice though....................

 

that is an sa22c, not an fb... its from japan, its rhd, its got skyline taillights, who cares, its a ******* bad *** first generation specemine.....

 

post pics after the tape is off, looks really good

 

 

can't say that i'm a fan of it. but it does look nicely done and i can respect that.

 

Looks very nice, but would like to see some pics. after you remove the tape and get her all cleaned up as well. Kudos on doing it yourself!

looks nice, don't like all the vents and stuff in the front...and your supposed to take all the tape off before you show after paint shots....post some more once the tapes off!

 

More pics after tape removed. I still need to wet sand the clear..

 

omg it looks AWSEOME

 

there we go thats more like it...no tape= damn sexy!

 

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm finishing up the interior today and installing the stereo. I'm thinking of making a custom stereo surround out of fiberglass.. Will keep everyone updated..

 

I still stand by my previous statement. You didn't mask off the any hinges/door/vents handles.

 

i second that.

it does, however look awesome. i can see not taping the door handles, and maybe even the windshield trim....but the little vents behind the doors? i would have left them.

i do love your body kit, i've got the same skirts as you

 

Not to be mean, but it looks like a transformer. Which of course makes me think of this picture:


But eh, I dunno, it's weird, it looks like too many cars at once.

 

I like it alot!!!

good job

 

Don't get me wrong I like the color and the kit, It's just that things like the vents door handles and such is what makes the paint really stand out if you know what I maen.
