Sweet looking...

 

what color is that? i really like it. do you have any plans for new wheels?

 

some updates

 

Clean

 

wow, i am a die hard 3rd gen fan, but damn, that is awesome.












now we just need some pics w/ u and the car. lol

 

p.s. u need to update ur sig

 

thanks for reminding me!

 

Looks very nice! Thought I'd take a moment to step out from lurking around this thread and put in my 2 cents. I appreciate your colour choice, I think it was a much better idea then the shifting paint. Your thoughts on color matching, scratches makes perfect sense and was very well thought out.

Very impressed, you put in alot of hard work yourself, and the shop came threw amazingly. Kudo's all around!

"Girls can too" in your signature, in my opinion after reading this thread - Is completely incorrect. "Girls can too - And Often do it better" Is far, far more accurate!

 

nope. the shop i go to has a paint mixing station and its higher end Sherwin Williams paint. its not called sherwin williams though. idk what its called.
2 coats color . sanded, 2 more coats color and 3 coats clear.
the way we painted it over a dark gray base makes the color look DEEP. thats the trick we used.
HELL no..... it'll never be done!!!!
i still have to sand buff and pollish. and theres so many more things to do on the interior.
the door seals you can save. any of the seals that are press in. i did not put back on the sun roof seal. and i still need to put down the seal above the front windshield. thats a press in seal.
the metal around the window i need to take off and paint. as well as the sheild below the windshield wipers AND paint the windshield wipers too.

the seal around the rear hatch needs to be replace as well as the rear hatch metal needs to be sanded and painted. some one painted it in the past and it is pealing up, dumbasses didnt remove the rubber seal to paint it.

 

well ur sig is now updated to awesome. wheres the group pics?

 

lol..... ask and you shall receive... do you have any more requests?






thank you very much for noticing!!! yeah it took me almost 2 years to pick out the color.... i needed something to accent fender lines and over all body lines of the car but i didnt want something every one does.. the metallic red with deep sealer/base coat really does pop in its own special way!!!

also i hope you dont mind i used ur quote in my sig

 

i meant group pics (u and the car), lol

 

i want a new background, do u have a higher res version of the 3rd pic down? the one with the supra in the foreground, urs to the left, and the cobalt in the far back.

 

Your car is absolutely badass! Love the color choice! you should grab a friend to take a pic of you posing with your car.

 

man these people really want to see you! I can definitely appreciate that car, absolutely beautiful with that color and looks like a very clean paint job. Make sure to be extra careful buffing that paint!

 

what ever happened to higher res ones so a can have a new background? lol

 

so... i arrive at the shop to have my car sanded and buffed from the guy that works there. i gete there and the guy isnt there. he went to a dr apointment and wouldnt be back till tomorrow... i was like ... oooooookay...........


well good thing i was wearing my work clothes.... the painter who's been teaching me everything, he taught me how to sand the clear coat (which i already experience with before on spray paint) and then he taught me how to use the buffer...

damn that buffer was heavy. today my muscles hurt like hell!!!!

heres the results.

i was able to finish door and fender yesterday

 

i must say... that is one sexy paint job

 

ROFLMAO oh the irony, oh the irony

 

very clean paint job. I love how the red pulls off the lines of the fc nicely. im still debating on what color to paint my fd...I really wanna do pink but my gf wont let me

 

mmm turned out great!

 

nice work. why did you sand it, did i miss something? or was it just like the final wet sand?

 

do you know how the paint possess works? you get spray patterns from the gun and must sand it smooth and buff it out to remove the "orange peal" look

hmm... well its not your typical red now is it?

 

Nice to see you got rid of the Vert and moved onto a real rx7.
Too bad it's red.

 

yes i know how it works. i have just never seen a final sand thats dry.
