Damn that video was cool. Thumbs up on the car.

 

Thanks for all the koodos on the video guys, i spent alot of time on it so its nice to hear positive feedback!

More pics of the paint progress:









Prime and paint tomorrow, the same lime green as the splitter in my sig, wheels too. Yay or Nay?

 

****** YAY! That'll look good on a track car....

A kid I work with has a lime green scoop on his white cooper s and it looks like **** though....I guess thats the differnce between a DD and a Track car

 

Yay. I like the lime green on your particular car.

 

Ray; Asian for yes.

 

Has anyone spray painted wheels before? This will be my first time and ideally my last. I found some wheel primer at my local autozone and wanted to see if anyone had actually used that stuff with good feedback. Please chime in before i spray them with the wrong stuff!

 

i have a wheel paint thread on here somewhere

 

Nay to green wheels!!!!! I say just the cage, wheels would be too much green. Look at sav's car, the orange cage and interior is just right.

No input on the primer. Just had to object.

 

Definitely green cage, green wheels would be obnoxious drifter ****.

 

MS Paint fail but I did it really quick.

You guys get the idea at least. Some might call it ricer but hell it's got a green cage and splitter and I think it would look cool rolling

 

Overdone IMO.







Obnoxious drifter ****.

 

Nay on the green wheels. Everything else is mint!

Dont paint the wheels....just the splitter and the cage

 

Agree, don't paint wheels. Just cage. Although you miiiiiiight be able to pull off the wheels. Either way it will look better than my car lol. Looking awesome so far, great job.

 

I have been thinking Nay on the wheels too, as do all my friends and family.

Everything is currently drying, ill be stipping off all the newspaper and plastic in an hr or so, hopefully get the interior all sorted out before dark too. I am really excited to see how the silver/green combo looks inside.

I wish i had done this in a spray booth, spray painting sucks. I find it really difficult getting into alot of nicks and cranny's with a spray paint can that cant shoot upside down. Lesson learned: Spray that **** in a spray booth at all costs if possible.

 

or at least use SEM self etching primer and find a paint shop that will mix cans for you ... krylon, rustoleum, and other 'consumer' brands pale in comparison. I used PPG single stage in a can on my floor and aside from the really high wear areas at my heals/toes which have abrasive wear, it has held up without scratching or chipping

Looks good though!

VOLK TE37's are the only wheels on earth allowed to be green. Cage get's painted green, only.

Paint the splitter black.

 

paint them green.
dont be like every other miata on here.

 

that vide ******* made me hard. HOLY **** that's a sick video

 

I wish I could have been there to see peoples faces as they drove by while you were painting the cage
