I TRIED TO GET THE CONDITIONS RIGHT SO I PUT IN A CEILING & A EXTRACTION UNIT ETC, ALSO BOUGHT PROFESSIONAL PAINTING EQUIPMENT. SO HOPEFULLY IT COMES OUT JUST THE WAY I PLANNED.
HOLD THUMBS!
PROJECT SDC
It will........, you have done more trying to get the right conditions than some of the Bodyshops I know !!! :200sx_200sx:
Take your time and enjoy it...... Flash off time very important..
Hey Hey
What's up any updates???
Have you finished the paint job ?
yeah WM???
almost a month since your last update!
i'll give you a call tonight!
maybe drive the sx there too, if you not busy!
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, IF YOU WANT IT YOUR WAY, DO IT YOURSELF!
SO THATS WHAT IM DOING.
I GOT THE CAR BACK BUT THE CAR IS NOT FINNISHED
HOW I WANT IT, SO IM REDOING & REVISING EVERYTHING.
FOR ME ITS JUST AS IMPORTANT WHATS BENEATH THE TRIM AS THE PAINT OUTSIDE. I MIGHT PAINT THE INSIDE THIS WEEKEND, BUT THE REST WILL TAKE ME SOME TIME!
I DID ALL THE PLASTIC INTERIOR TRIM PIECES, IT CAME OUT AWESOME.
TOOK ME TWO WEEKS!
Very nicely done there westmaister, I bookmarked this thread for future reference. Its well worth keeping.
WM - and don't I know the feeling. Have been busy for almost a month now with a respray, and it's still not close to being done the way I want it.
Everytime I get to the bodyshop there is some or other problem, or they are waiting for something. I thought I am not qualified to do it myself as I wanted it 100% but it looks like my 95% is better than most "bodyshops" 110%
I have now been visiting the bodyshop daily with a permanent marker 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈
THEY NOW HATE ME !!! 😈 But the work gets done the way I want it to ....
So yeah doing it yourself = cheaper and better !!!
Try posting some pics soon pls!
THAT THE ONLY WAY TO DO THINGS THESE DAYS!!!!!YOURSELF!
I DONT THINK I'LL BE PAINTING THIS WEEKEND, HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE SKIN TO GROW BACK ON MY FINGERS!!
what the hell did you do now???
I SANDED THROUGH THE SKIN!!!!!!
BUT GOOD NEWS, I DID PAINT HALF THE INSIDE OF THE CAR!,
IM TAKING THE LONG ROUTE BUT I NEED TO COZ I DONT HAVE THE PROPPER INVIROMENT CAUSING DUST ETC. BUT IT CAME OUT GREAT!
I'LL DO THE REST THIS WEEKEND THEN POST PICS!!
& VC, YOU ONLY VISIT IF YOU NEED SOMETHING WELDED!!!
COME SHOW ME YOUR CAR!!! I WANT TO FEEL HOW IT PULLS!

hey sorry man - been busy with my sx, and wedding shit!
you also have a phone tho! BEOTCH!
if you decide to rebuild a car from cratch go check your head!
anyway, i painted the inside of the car, i did it in two sections, the back part & then the front.
the back part came out perfect but when i did the front part, not only did i run out of paint but i had a dust problem,
so now im flating the paint again & doing that in sections so it comes out perfect!
but heres pics of the bits & pieces.
THE RED IS A PEARL LEXUS RED, & THE BLACK IS A PEARL DIAMOND BLACK.
THE TRIM PIECES AROUND THE CAR WAS ALSO PAINTED BLACK TO MATCH THE PAINT WORK.
I TOOK OUT ALL THE WIRING & EVERYTHING SO I CAN PAINT IT PROPERLY!
THIS PART CAME OUT NICELY BUT ILL POST SOME PICS WHEN ITS COMPLETE & WHEN I'VE FIXED THE FRONT PART.
I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO!
interior bits looks damn good man!! awesome stuff!!
man the rear also looks good. you gonna do the whole interior white?
like the red
yeah, the interior paint will be white & the roll cage, but the trick bits will be different.
its going to be a stripped racer inside with a twist, i cant realy explain it but you will see!
