what about it? FC anything in white is the way to go =)

JordanRykon 10-20-09 03:53 PM

uhh
 
It's classic gray lol and idk just spitballin to try and find a color I wanna paint it, I just sprayed that on a few days ago and I really like it and how it makes the body lines look from a distance. Higher res pics would help but my full set of wheels arent on so I'll wait til later

bring back the avacado!!

seriously it looks good at least it's one color, I would put the mirror back on and paint the wipers black so they don't look so ghey

JordanRykon 10-20-09 03:57 PM

Well the wipers were avacado so I didnt really wanna leave them that way lol and I still have to sand down the other mirror its been chillin at a friends place.

How did you paint it? It looks to have no shine ,was it done with spray cans or a gun? The color is not to bad but it looks to flat.

JordanRykon 10-20-09 04:43 PM

Just initial coat, spray cans. gonna put another coat or two then have a shop clearcoat it

not crazy about the grey but nice job... looks so close to white it's not super different just dull looking a guess...

JordanRykon 10-20-09 09:20 PM

Came out pretty good imo, a lot better than the previous color. I'm in the process of finding T2 aero to throw on and picking up an s5 t2 block on friday

It looks like primer to me...

My 240Z was painted a gray that was very similar to that.
Not the world's most eye-catching color but it did have the advantage of not showing dirt and minor dings, so it was extremely easy to live with.

BTW, I'm not sure I'd trust a shop willing to shoot clear over your paint.
Painters I know want to control the process/materials from the start and wouldn't touch a partially done job...too many things can go wrong, leaving them holding the bag.

looks like primer

BOFHMike 10-21-09 12:16 PM

nice paint job.
 
It's nice to see a car community that isn't stuck up about repainting cars outside of the factory colorsets. There are some groups out there that will brow-beat a person for showing up to a meet w/ anything besides the color the car rolled out of the factory with. I almost baught an MG a few weeks ago. The owner refused to admit that the car had been repainted. (I could se the horrid Macco paint overspray all over the vehicle)

JordanRykon 10-21-09 06:20 PM

Kinda does look like primer in the pic, I'll get higher res pics soon once the job is done

DC 91 fc3s 10-22-09 03:23 AM

good work with the can i can say.. ive seen some way worse ones where there is drips every where and over spray all over the windows and head/tail lights

JordanRykon 10-23-09 03:44 PM

Thanks I was pretty hesitant because I've seen some pretty terrible rattle can jobs, once I'm done there'll be more to come possibly with some aero but I'm in the middle of buying a couple blocks so we'll see when I get to it lol

onionsncream 10-23-09 06:28 PM

Park it next to a white car and take a picture?

ParadoxToday 10-23-09 09:50 PM

I like the shade of gray, imo that gray with a nice layer of clear and a little shine will look dope!

whiteweazel21 10-23-09 11:00 PM

Looks too close to white for me. If you're digging gray, I'd suggest a medium-dark gray -- the EVO gray comes to mind. There's a video of a 7 in a similar darkish gray color floating around on YouTube and I must say it's incredibly sexy.
