AdrenalifeRX7 needs to paint his car
 

his car is ass-ugly flat black. can you believe that? we all need to really get on his back and make him paint it. he doesnt plan on painting it till next year he was saying.

i have pics i've saved for blackmail if he doesnt start seriously thinking of painting it.....

Trouble maker! I bet his runs at least. :p:

:rofl:

I don't plan on changing my hood, left front fender, or painting any of it for at least two years... I kinda like having a car that looks like crap on the outside, as long as it runs, I'm happy.

I'm planning on shooting my car flat black this fall. I've got some rust to fix before winter comes, and I don't have the coin for a proper paint job. So my buddy and I will fix the rust and then sand her down and shoot the whole car black. He's doing his 2nd gen Supra as well.

The most important thing is that the car runs well, and isn't deteriorating. I could care less about the color. Shoot, if I had the two grand needed for a paintjob, I'd sink that money into performance mods and still paint the car black.

Thought you were all about the silver, Matt?

I am going to be repainting my car within the next 2 weeks... no more faded bronze poo color for me asswipes!!!

ouch man,you really hit me where it counts!!!

hahah

yeah i've put off painting parts on my car for over a year cause well it doesnt look THAT bad and i could be spending that money on other parts for the car. i totally agree and understand that.

The clear coat on the red paint had chips all over it. I hate red so I sanded it down and primered it flat black. I know I have to paint it but it's expensive. I don't see the paint when I'm inside the car anyways. At least it runs, and runs good.

Hasn't even been wet sanded yet.

where is those pics of the exhaust you promised me? ;-P

That's how I feel.

Iotus,
I may be jacking the car up Tuesday to look at the starter and wiring, so I can probably take pics then. My new plug wires are set to arrive Tuesday also. I've just been so busy lately.

hey, that flat black looks good. that red was sweet though.

Yeah the red was sweet while it lasted. It looked pretty bad in person with the red paint. I hate red cars with a passion.

subaru rally blue with chrome window trim, door handles, and hatch hinges and hatch metal trim pieces. polished rims.

AdrenalifeRX7 what color are you going to paint it?

i like the flat black idea.....if ur going fast the cops can't grab u that easily with their laser detectors :D plus it's cheaper and looks kinda good....when im done painting mine flat black and i do the other exterior mods im gonnd do....then i'll show u the meaning of sweet....ryte now it's in all in my head :D .

Well, If I thought that I could do a good job with the silver, I'd do it. Frankly I'm not completely decided about the black yet, but I do know that I need to fix the rust before the winter comes and makes it worse.

Maybe I'll go whole hog and get the Mazda silver, but I'm concerned about how it will look. I know what flat black will look like, but I don't know how I'd do at shooting my car with the factory color.

as long as we carefully mask it and use even application, it shouldn't matter what colour you use. Remember, even the factory silver will be somewhat flat without the clearcoat.

Then again you could just do the $300 paint job at Perfection Paint & Body or some chit

oops almost had my wife sold on the flat black till she saw this post!

I'm not going to paint it any color right now(no cash). I'll probably wet sand it and smooth it out and take it off the road for the winter so I can store it. I'm not into flashy cars, I'm more into the performance aspect of it all. I can't be worrying about chips in paint and washing it every day. I like to drift it, so that's not beneficial to a nice paint job. When I do paint it, it will be the color of a charcoal grill. Decent black paint minus the gloss. That would suit me just fine. Remember...it's what's inside or under the hood that counts.:D

I still havn't found a quote from any decent shop to have mine painted for under $2500-$3000 (upward to $3500)
:-(

I s'pose there's nothin' wrong with flat black as long as you get around to sanding it *sometime*... ;)

I would never pay $3,000 dollars for a paint job. Imagine what you could buy performance-wise with that money.

AdrenalifeRX7 I was wondering where did you get that spoiler ?

so did you paint the car with spray cans or what exactly did you do. What grain of paper did you use and how much did it cost for this flat black masterpiece of paint job. I think it looks rad.:peace:
