Movin along... Looks like where I was a couple weeks ago..

 

Bro, I was thinking about changing my Avatar to yours , I was told Car would have some parts painted over the weekend. Nothing painted just yet, but atleast it's finally making progress towards paint.

 

+1 dude, same here! Except my car was supposed to be done Saturday, and to this moment I don't even know if they began spraying

 

I am debating on adding the TE stripe in Laguna Seca Blue.... Again the face of the rim will be flat black, lip will be gloss black, bbk caliper will be Laguna Seca blue.....
I was thinking about doing the stripe in Laguna Seca blue, but I think it might be over doing it and it could take away from what I am trying to do. I need opinions

 

i say do it to one wheel and compare to the other

 

Do it!!!! My wheels have it too, just be careful not to curb a wheel man, I saw one on another z, and where it was curbed it completely took the color off and it made the whole wheel look like garbage! I think its going to be really hard to prep/paint a perfectly even stripe around the whole wheel tho

 

I am gonna talk it over with the shop tomorrow and see if he could do it

 

I spoke too soon!!!!!! The parts have been sprayed, just needs some respray in a few areas and clear coat along with some other minor stuff, and the car will be finished! I wish you a speedy progress as well man! I will post updated pics, and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see some laguna seca blue on your ride man!!!!!!

 

Ha ha ha you and me both! I am at the point, where I think I am gonna ask him to spray a dot of Laguna Seca Blue anywhere on the car, just so I can see some paint

 

LOL!!! even a paint sample taped to the car or something! haha

 

Atleast something....Just got word that the shop came across a problem with the driver side quarter panel

 

in three years you will wish you didn't paint the lip seca blue... it's a here today, gone tomorrow trend, just like spinners!. keep it simple, blue car, blue calipers, done


btw, i love that color and would paint my 350 in a similar manner, but my silver paint still looks good, lol!

What kind of problem with the quarter panel??

 

Hey I am making a brace for my INGS bumper. I'll post pics when it's done...

 

Zquicksilver- I agree, I went to the shop yesterday and we talked about the TE stripe amongst other things, and I decided against it. I really want the blue on the caliper to pop, and by implementing the TE stripe it might take away from the look I am trying to achieve.

RedlineAZ- about 2 years ago some retarded lady, who deserves to have her license revoked, reversed into my driver side quarter panel while I was parked across the street of my wifes (girlfriend at the time)house. Long story short, I took it to a club memebers shop and they fixed, or should I say did a cover up. The shop the car is presently at noticed the body lines from the quarter panels were missing/ blended out, the fender was slightly off symetrically, and to top it off they used a cheap spray on primer ( that never cures), so they needed to reprimer and now rebuild the rear quarter panel adding the body lines that were taken away.....

phreaktor- paint came out great! In for pics on the front brace

On another note....When I went to the shop yesterday, aside from the rear quarter panel everything is pretty much ready for paint. The front and rear were reblocked and all the lines and angles were sharpened to really enhance the overall appearance.

 

^^Nice bro!..cant wait to see the final product...

on another note...Can i haz your rear bumper? :-P jk!

 

How much longer till your car is finished?

 

^^its finished already..but i havent pick it up yet...the wheels are the ones i am having issues with getting things done. Once that is over with I will have a shoot.. I'll keep you updated bro..

 

UPDATE: The rear quarter panel has been fixed and the front, rear, sides, interior pieces, and sound system are going to be painted today

 

^^NICEEEEEEEE!... check my thread in 5 minutes...got new pics without the wheels but just one step closet to the final look :P
