Need Creative paint ideas
 

Hi everybody, I will be painting my FC later this summer and i need some creative ideas.

im looking for pictures of well done paint possibly 2 tone. anything would be great. Also if anyone has seen a nice OEM paint that they think would look good on our cars, i would really like the suggestions.

thank you in advance

Look below for a three tone....Eliminate the light blue and go with silver and Stock 91 Blue...would be a nice combo...IMO

bottom black and top red
pics i about an hour

pearl anything... mmm orange

I don't think the FC takes two tone paint combos very well. However, I do think that the 3-tone that RussinStk has in his sig is pretty nice. But his car is a SCCA car, not a typical street car.

I'd actually like to see that. Is the red dark? Like a maroon?

I am painting my 10thAE the stock Crystal White, with a little glow pigment and white gold pearl mixed in the clear coat.

So at night it will glow white slightly, and in the day it will have just a touch of sparkle to the white (simular to the new Lexus IS300 white paint).

Icemark That is a wicked idea. can anyone point me in the direction of a site where i could find paint samples? or buy that "glow paint" that Ice was talking about?

also the car is Dark Grey and i will be changing the colour. does anyone have an idea of the added time it will take to do all the door seals,trunk seals, etc. ?

paint everything even with the bottom of the window and up black and the bottom a different color. I always though that looked cool

icemark....lets see a pic of ur car....

I actually bought the glow powder online on ebay. I found a vendor who was unloading a bunch of it, and I bought a couple of packs. It is a dry white powder made to be mixed with paint.

For testing I mixed some with some clear acrylic lacquer auto paint (much like you would mix a pearl or metallic), and spray'd it on a test panel to figure out the amount.

I also painted the inside of my aquarium hood with the same mix, so that it glows at night (like moon light) after the aquarium lights turn off.

It really glows wild under a black light... almost like the paint was a thin elecroluminsent panel, but you can see it under moon/street lights at night, just not as strong.

Can anyone recommend a place in SFL where I can get my t2 repainted? A place where they care about what the hell they're doing?

thanks in advance...

any idea where i could get the stuff now? do you think it would work with black paint? i think that would be wild. black with an eerie white glow at night.

Don't know, but it is a white powder, so it would probaby shift a black paint job to a charcoal color.

I would use a base urothane. paint it titanium metalic and use a transparent clear coat to " you color the clear another coloar id give it a sea therew paint look" and add a small amount of flake or pearl

how bout dis. go for the Initial D look. lol. all white paint and then put in a Red Suns sticker. lol

Of you could just use a acrylic lacquer (which is made to be a bunch of thin "see through" layers).

Hmmm.

the Guy who is doing the paint for me, is my friends dad. he will be paying me back a favour..... is it gonna take subbstantially longer to change the colour of the car vs repaint same colour?

Yeah, to change a color (and do it right) you need to strip everthing off the car- trim, bumpers, window gaskets, etc.

ok so maybe a two tone Grey and black would be better. that way the grey would look right at home and i could still have the black.

now.... just finding a way to paint it that would look good. any ideaswhere the paint should change?

Here is a link for what looks to be the same stuff (although the powder I got was House of Kolor):

And here is a picture of it mixed in paint:

Icemark, I would Really like to see a picture of your car if u have any.

I'll post one when it is all done (hopfully at the end of the month).

Its not that bright though... that picture is under a black light.

I say House of Kolor "Tangelo Pearl"

Sweet mc-freaking-jesus I've decided what I'm gonna do to my 7. Icemark, do you have any pics of your car during the day and at night? I'll be doing a similar white but with a light flip-flop of blue, so I want to see the outcome of yours before I get too serious about this.
