damn... looking good so far...

 

y dont u shave the door handles while ur at it since uve got so much other stuff shaved

 

Katana: why didnt you shave off the gutter guards too?

how many coats of paint and how many clear?

 

Chinismo- I dont go on that many road trips. I maybe go to ATL every 2 or 3 months, and even then i dont have that many problems with bugs and what not. I mean, if i thought down the road, that i really really needed those little squirters....i woulda kept em. I just dont use them. I probably havent refilled washer fluid for over a year and its still more than 3/4 full.

Dainfammous- I was going to do shaved door handles, but decided against it. After reading up about it, it was just going to be too much of a hassle, something i didnt want to deal with it.

and 97Acura3.0- I never even really thought about shaving the gutter guards until a while ago, then i asked about it, and it was gonna be a shitload of $$ to do that, i guess its hard cuz the roof is curved what not, but either way it was gonna be another 2k just to do those, so i figured, nope, dont need em shaved that bad. They're gonna do like 3 coats of base and about 5 coats of clear coat he told me, so it should be The color i picked should really stand out. Hopefully i ll have pics up by sat.

 

damn katana how the hell can you afford this!!!

 

Well, some of the $$ is coming from my insurance since my car got fucking keyed a while back. But not that much, the rest is just $$ i saved to do the extra stuff.

 

man whoring........

 

Hey man dont let the secret out!

 

i wish i could man whore but my penis is only 10 inches long

 

Damn, do you go on road trips through the amazon or something.

 

Katana where are you getting this done? and for my two cents about the windshield washers im glad your getting rid of them, mine piss me the F*** off.

 

eric, we'll make your first road trip when you come up to ATL for the March 13th meet...that way you can make Katie clean your windshield during pitstops

 

the shop is called Exotic Concepts, and they're located in Longwood off of SR 434.

 

I dont know if i can make that one, unfortunately. Tuner Bash is in Daytona around that time, but i have to find out for sure.

 

Seeing as the way that base coat is going on, and they masked off all the inner painted surfaces, he's going back to white, prolly Escalade white.

But, I noticed in some of the pics that there seemed to be some custom work going on in the paint scheme.



Why the hit and miss on the base coat?

 

chris what do u mean by hit and miss?

 

oh and like i said a while ago........its not gonna be white!

 

Well it looks like that is a base coat they are putting on, or a primer, but they are doing it in sections. So is it going to be multi-colored, or have a pattern?

 

So you aren't painting all the visable areas like the door jabs, etc? I sure hope you are not leaving it a mismatched color for that price.....

Oh, and 2k for shaving the gutters is about 1600 too much.... Sounds like this shop is over the top in thier pricing. It takes a few hours to shave the gutters. You pull the rubber out, cut sheet metal to fit flush, and tack it in. Sand down, body fill for perfection, and paint.

 

Nah its not gonna be multi-colored. They're doing it by sections where they had to do bodywork. The white you see left is where there is no bodywork needing to be done. Its a simple primer and paint. All the parts of the car will be painted.

 

so who here wants to vandalize my car......?

anybody?

 

pics yet????? pics of them painting it???

did you design the color? and the scheme?

 

what colors?

 

thats the difference between florida and massachusetts i use them like twice week, more if its been snowing. I think it looks better without em but i couldn't be without them. my old integra didn't have them on the hood they had them under.

 

Hopefully up by sat when i pick my car up. I didnt design the color, its a factory color from.........well i'm not saying. And theres not scheme to it, just a regular paint job, nothin too crazy.

 

maybe you could hook it up so the spray from under the hood if its that important

 

Well, I really wouldn't go on a road trip in a car with 19s and bags, but that's just me....especially one that just recieved a $10,000 paint job.

DON'T call me a moron.

 

to be honest, i don't really like the windshield washer jets anyway. every time you try to wax, the wax gets all around the little bastards.

im predicting the color with be one from the 350z. anyone want to make some bets?

 

I'll bet you 10 grand it isn't from the 350Z.....

 

i'll bet you its not off a 350....hahaha.....

 

its a bet............

just wait till you find out im broke

 

Hence, under construction!

I'm sure it's going to look bad a$$ Katana...it better for that kind of flow you droppin'!

Hope to see it at the Tuner Bash, if not HIN for sure!

 

i bet it's not off a 350 either

 

good call not painting the lower grill in the bumper white. it would have looked stupid. i was gonna say ur car is the negative of mine but if ur not gonna be white then nevermind. my side moldings are getting shaved this spring/summer, we both got the same molded front lips, and what u got goin on the back? cant wait to see it. jealous ur side molding are shaved and mine arent yet

 

loook like the its goin great....cant wait fo the finish pics

 

Actually VX, i'm only molding the factory pieces to the back bumper, not anything else. I just want to eliminate the lines. I was gonna do the lips like you have, but decided against it. And i ll also bet anybody its not 350z blue!

 

its silver

 

Katana tell me if your going to go to tuner bash this year. Im totally down and i have a condo off of the beach. And all of you guys are wrong, he already showed us the color, its the puke green color, hes just lying. haha



haha...j/k itll probably be a benz color or red?? thats my guess

 

damnit! wont be ready until monday now..........hopefully!

 

Congrats man, I'm sure it will look good. Now if you tell us the color you painting it I could get you a magazine feature with a magazine Pick(HCI,NOPI,HONDA TUNING,MODIFIED,MAXI TUNING).
