August 30, 200520 yr Thought about Maaco, but frankly, I can do nearly as nice a job with rattle cans, and for a lot cheaper. I also want to pick a shade where if I get some body damage and need to replace a door or a fender, or just touch up some scrapes, I can do so relatively easily. Semi-gloss sounds like it's going to be what I want. I think flat yellow might look too pale - almost like that awful yellow that comes on WRXs. I want a bright bright sunshine yellow. I like the black on the lower half just because it makes the car look a bit more pissed, and well, I like cars that look pissed. Here's what it looks like with yellow graphics: I'll definately get in touch with you about graphics. I've got part of a roll of metallic red 18" 4mil - maybe I can pay you to cut some stuff on that for use until it's painted? Man, I miss having a plotter... As for showing the old girl, maybe next season. This season, it's not going to be anywhere near ready to be shown. I want to have it lifted and with a D/R before I show it. Right now, it's just a muddy old Loyale with Pugs and lights - not really worth showing, I'm afraid. I will be at GICS, though, probably with a friend's white Nissan. I'll be sure to stop on by and say hi - I remember seeing you and Dan last year. My friends didn't quite understand when I got all excited, but hey, they drive Nissans. ok, i just love that.
August 30, 200520 yr Author Me too. I think that's the route I'm going to go. ...and don't worry, it's going to be done right. I just got an offer from Matt (superrallyroo) to use some of the sunshine yellow he has laying around, so I may wind up renting a compressor and a gun and going at it that way. But, it would kind of kill the fun of having a spraypainted car .
August 30, 200520 yr well actually, if you spray in on with a gun, it is still being "spray painted" lol
August 30, 200520 yr But, it would kind of kill the fun of having a spraypainted car . don`t worry, it`s not all its cracked up to be:) then you have cars painted with rollers, now thats kool ahh, if you can have it done with a regular spray gun, you might as well.if you add hardner to the paint, clear isn`t needed.paint, and hardner is real expensive these days so its a good thing your friend has some yellow. good luck, Jon
August 30, 200520 yr How are you liking the awesomeness of Austin's old beast, anyway? Ironically its the best runner i have; the 96's exhaust broke right in front of the second cat, so its real loud the 91 dosn't run cause the wiring harness is on its way to the 88 the 88 dosn't run cause there's no engine in it, for now. The flat yellow needs some work now, its fading and pretty thin in some places, i'm actually tempted to paint the whole car flat black, but who knows, its pretty fun with the yellow.
