I Repainted My Car! :)
#16
thanks a lot glass man. Now as you guys can see i did the blue and black paint scheme everywhere. I especially liked in the engine bay since it allaowed me to keept nice and clean looking and a bit more intresting. Thought the engine bay has a ton more flake than the car it self becasue i wanted it to accent the polished parts. I molded in the rear bumper and side skirts to the body for a nice super clean look. I will also post after the wetsand and buff in a few days. The UIm is done in ghost chrome powder coat done by my friend Jordan at late night customs. he does damn good work to. heres one more pic of the dorr jams as well painted in black with a cobaly candy and blue flake over it. Loosk pitch black out of light but lights up in blue in the sun loosk sweet.

It only costs me what the paint and supplies cost seeing as how it is my own shop. The shop is also equiped with a high end baking booth so that makes a big diffence. I will post more pcs at the end of the project to explainthe work I did. But I'll tell you this at the beginning of it all it was all about sanding the car with a file to get the straightest lines possible. When you use DA's and orbital sanders it doesn't come out as smooth nor as straight.
JIC what do you mean by CW?
The stripe will go away next winter and so will the color most likely I want something cleaner (white with pearl or just black....god nothing is sexier than black and white) persoanlly this was done mainly to attarct customers and what not though cobalt is a personal preferanceand it was my choice to do it, but when i saw the car in white sealer i hesitated for about 3 days to finish the rest the car in cobalt. Even all the workers at the shop said white just looked sexier and sportier on the FD...also makes it look smaller. The stripe is love or hate. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback about it and a lot of neg. I personally liked it becasue it accents the color and its diffrent from what you see, not too ricey just clean and along side the door and vent. The car is pretty much recieving a giant suspennsionmake over as well later on and there a box of parts sitting in my closet for it as well. So there is much more to come for this car maybe even some beautiful volk rims from vel 525. And even a V mount now that I have seen a a thread for one around here and am perfectly capable of makimg something like that. And there is aslo the possibility of BNR stage 3 rebuilds in sequential mode too. Seeing as how mine are about to give.
