Bad Stickers

Firstly i am gutted, last night i removed some graphics that previous owner had added, and it also tuck all the paint work with it right down to the shell and now my car needs a full respray

it only happened on one side tho the other side was fine, think it must of been down to a bad spray job. currently rebuilding the whole car anyway so i was going to respay it anyway but just not this early.

does any one have a picture or link or post were there is a burgundy or british racing green?

cheers lads n merry xmas

DAMN i hate it when people paint rx7s and get a shitty job. then u buy it and find out fast that they suck at life....people need to understand that an rx7 can only have the best of the best. sorry for the misfortune but atleast u own an rx7 thats more then alot of people can say. good luck.

Maybe that's why the previous owner didn't take it off. Next time use a heat gun when taking anything off...

burgundy is a nice color, but remember that the base coat or primer will determine the contrast of the final appearance. Also the front and rear bumpers are plastic and hard coat paints will not 'flex" and crack in time.

They has a special "flex" additive you mix for these occassions. Talk to a certified auto painter before getting it painted.

that has a gold base, its pretty stick but its also like 10gs. i wouldnt even drive my car after painting it like that. to many haters in this world if they just key it there goes 10gs down the drain.
