Well the paint has been bad for a few years now. I have wanted to paint it for a long time, just did'nt have the time. Well I got laid off from work a few weeks ago, and now i had the time to do some body work and painting.

So here is the new paint for Iotus.

First off sanding......Yeah

Whats your suspension setup? The stance on that car is like perfection. Paint looks good too

 

Now all I have to do, Is put it all back together. And in a month or so

I GET TO DO MORE SANDING....Yeah

Well thanks for looking And thank You Greg for your help...Dude can mix some paint and fast......

Dave,

Sorry to hear about your job. Your car is looking great. You are getting pretty handy with the gun. I will have to make it over sometime with my car.

Bump for another turbo FB.

 

Ditto on suspension, which springs??

 

purty

 

good job bro. One day, I will take a class in body/paint.

 

Damn Dave when are we doing my car? Iotus looks fricking amazing now!

 

i love the ocean blue meallic! i have two because i love the color so much. at any rate, paint looks beautiful. i cant wait to see how it looks when you are finished! looks like you may have deviated slightly from the oem L6 color..that or its the light. looks great thoguh!

 

Looks amazing. I would like to be good in body/paint someday.

 

Here's mine, removed and painted absolutely all trim etc and gotta love the new wheels and whale as well. Blower scoop hood is gonna be another week, need some work before it can be painted....the color is Sikkens 2 stage 2009 Range Rover Rimini Red with some gold pearl added.

 

love the color, good work

 

not a prob man. sorry i had to jet a little early during the clear. glad the IWATA gun worked out good though! she turned out nice! (even after the early scares!) does this mean camping this summer?

 

WoW Thanks everyone.........

The Springs are Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Kit. And the paint is L6.
I took a few more pictures to day.

The paint


Got the lights all cleaned up and ready to go in.

 

Well thats all for now.....

 

Okay, requesting detailed writeup on the tail lights!!! I gotta do this!!

 

wow..how did you do the light's like that..did you have to fab it up?

:AA:

 

Colored light bulbs?? LED lightbulbs perhaps??

 

I know you can pull the outside cover off, it is glued together, breakage is a risk though. I ripped one apart at pick-n-pull just to see.
