Thumbs up New Paint Job Pics

Well my car has been painted for a long time now, and I just finally got the pics on the internet. Painted it in my homemade painting booth and only cost $28 including paint and supplies. So I would say it came out great for the money.



Image host went down right when I was posting pics. I will get them up ASAP.

Well I resorted to attachments. What are the chances of both image hosts being down?

I saw a clown wagon at a circus exactly like that, except it had streamers.

Now finish it!

A little color sanding (800~1200 grit,), and then a buffer, and it will look like it came outa the factory.

great job! (especially for 28 bucks) what was it 2 part enamel?, or lacquer?

It is just regular old paint, I forget all the details now that it is done. But, they are pics right after it was painted. My brother buffed it out and it looks great now. I should snap a few more pics with the rims on it. It turned out really nice, and looks a lot better than it did before. Thanks for the compliment on the clown wagon! haha

All I can say is you can't even say oh good job trying to do it yourself or something to that nature. Some people really don't have that much respect. I haven't even been on here for a while because I have been working with hondas a lot more. But I am done with what I want to do with mine, so now it is time for the standalone for the rx7 and I am starting to get back into this forum. Its nice to see a lot of welcome back. HAHA Hondah8er bet, you really hate it now..

dont you hate it when dick heads come in and bash what you thought was sexy and you really like. Like hondah8r.

If you only paid $28 for all that and it ended up that good looking?! mad props, to each his own, paint it lime green for all i care! The paint job itself looks wonderfull and shiney. But you will probably have to wax that thing alot more than normal to keep the shine.

BUT DAMNIT! YOUR ONE OF THE PEOPLE WITH NO HUBCAPS AND BLACK SPRAYED RIMS! AHHHH#@%@#%@#%@$%$#^%

no no no. The wheels were on there just for the paint. LoL. I am really looking for GSL-SE wheels at the moment. Their are usually 17" Motegi MR7s, yea I know, ricer wheel, but they look decent on there. I am just trying to find some straight gsl-se wheels at the moment. Hondas are a whole other world. The are jus as easy as RX7s to work on, and I tune them, so I can't hate them. I make pretty good money doing it. I mean I have a standalone on my civic and its fully programable. Running 10lbs daily, for my commuter, and what is nice, If I blow it up, I can pick a motor up for $300. Can't beat that.

im still a fan of the stock mazda rims. When in perfect shape and shiney, even though they are 13 inch, they are sexy and give your car that pure 80's look. And They are really light, my buddy with a 12.7 1/4 mile camden supercharged, has the stocks rims still too.


Honda is a rx7 owners mortal enemy. I dont know how many of those damn ricers come up to me a day and try to race me, and i hop so far in front of them off the line they just back off.

DOWN WITH THE BOINGERS. I told my family if they ever see me buy a piston powered car to shoot me and put me to sleep then and there.

Twigg your a ****** moron I gave an opinion which I am more then allowed to do. Like I said...dont post pics if all you want is positive feedback. Take it with a grain of salt.

Oh and it looks as if you have front wheel drive rims on your rx7 too red13brx7.

well nice to see we have a immature child on the forum. If you dont have CONSTRUCTIVE critisism, then dont say anything. Telling red13brx7 his stuff looks gay is childish, To each his own, i dont agree with the paint job, but it was damn good for what he paid, and if you do **** so it looks good to other people, and not just for yourself, your just a poser. Im thinkin your a poser.

Its not about your ride, its about you yourself. Well i shouldn't expect much from a liberal fed immature canadian. And i've owned rotarys for 10 years, never a piston. Quit while your ahead kid. I couldnt care less about whos ride is better.
