Well. Not exactly what this thread was created for, but my current paint project is my helmet...





I need to put a couple layers of clear coat and then it's ready to go.

and yes the green has flake in it and the orange doesn't

i think it looks pretty cool! i had 2 one time, and i just rested ontop of the other (similar looking to yours) for a sec, and i thought it looked cool.

seems like a bunch of work for my newb self to do that.

I was wanting to do the "hibino" fender thing and slap some rear arches on this year. I have to stuff more tire and widen up my track on my poor mans ls1 ****. Well, it's not even close to an ls1 but it will eat ears like mike ******* tyson.

Anyway, it's cheap and should get things done. There will be more metal present going with a C shaped arch vs doing a whole panel. Steel is real, nogs.

Did you put anything over the foam? resin likes to eat that **** from my experience with it. Um, try it out? I wanna see!

Basically what I did was I took a shitty duck tail drilled some holes in the end, slipped some dowels in the top to support the foam shaped the foam put surfboard cloth over the seems then wrapped the whole thing in speaker cloth then resin'd the whole thing basically I used almost the same methods to build a sub box skillz lol

Just a little sneak peak of my paint...

Genuine Granite Effect with some extra silver tone flakes!

Should look good!

What color would you put on the title???? I think it would.


Furthermore, I'm painting the S4 White Diamond. with a pearl white top coat. Should look sweet when I'm done with it. I just don't want a whle lot of dirt nibs in my paint. Ideas????? Please don't say "change the filters" te tech school doesn't have a lot of money. Anything else, help wise, would be awesome.

Well 90% of the dirt comes from you the painter, so wear a paint suit and a head which you should be doing anyways.
As far as the filters sweep out the booth and blow out the filters real well
Then if the allow you to do this wet the floor alittle this should cut down on dirt cause it will stick in the water, jus be careful not to flop your hose around all crazy, pat attention and take your time and you should be okay
