pre-paint pictures....UPDATE...AFTER PAINT PICS

heres some pics of mine before the new paint goes on...just for the record i did all the prep work myself.....note the shaved spoiler holes, no emblems, shaved antennae, and i shaved those little holes off the front bumper where the license plate goes :-)....and some more goodies for after its painted...the c.f. lip is on the delivery truck so i dont have pics of it yet...

What new color will be applied?

 

[ek2ner_knox]

im just goin back with the championship white, but i have much better paint than last time so it should turn out really good....its hard to tell but this is how it used to look...

 

[bcivichb]

cant wait to see it. so the shop was cool with you doin all the prep work? cause thats what i wanted to do also

 

[cgpEJ6]

should look pretty hot, do you have your front plate relocated or is it not required in Tennessee?

 

[douggiefresh]

2 things I would suggest you do...not sure if you already planned.... pull yoour windows so there are no gasket lines, and if you cant push the weather strips in as far as you possibly can with a fiber stick or a really thin screw driver with tape on the end. Also stuff tac rags in the gap in between the fender and the door just shove them in there either from the inside of the car or open the door and s**t them in there....it will keep all the dirt from blowing out of there. no matter how much you blow it out there will always be dirt in there.

Otherwise looks like you are on your way to a real clean car. Championship white is a sick color when sprayed right, white cars look dope IMO. Nice work on the little shaved accents to. Cant wait to see it painted.

this is what i did to both windows on the door windows and the triangle ones.....and theres not a shop spraying it, its one of my buddies that goes to vc tech, were turning my 3 car garage into a paint booth tonight...illl up date you with pics as the day proceeds

 

[douggiefresh]

Sounds good man, yea thats all I did with the quarter glass, you should be able to tuck those seals in more than that, just shove them in as far as you possibly can. They will pull back out easy.

 

[ek2ner_knox]

what seals are you talkin about?

 

[Genuine Rolla]

dang...looked sick before man. gl with the paint job.

 

[atlxkevinx]

GL with the paint. its gonna look good when done i bet.

 

[stince]

nice.. i liked it before.. i'm gonna kill to see those rims on your cpe.

 

[one6]

GL, I can already tell your cars gonna look sick!

 

[douggiefresh]

Seals around the windows, you dont want the edge to be to close to the actual part that will show because you will have a heavy paint line from the tape.

 

[ek2ner_knox]

lol i took them off, like theres nothin to separate the pillar and the door, its just open...? is this what your talkin about

 

[douggiefresh]

Oh, no I was talking about the window seals around the front and rear windows. They should virtually tuck all the way in so there not sticking out at all.

 

[ek2ner_knox]
