americ_ian

yes im sick of the ketchup suace RED

plans for the car are championship white or s2k arctic white.. or depending on how straight i can get the panels a mettalic of somesort... my body prep skills will be tested

I have a trackday in april so i DO have a deadline

so hopefuly il have enough time to paint/shave the bay



BOOST? let a man learn how to drive a RWD before we go making 500whp and stack it into the nearest powerpole while trying to drive straight

88ED8

White is nice but it just seems such a plain color, have you considered a blue? Just a thought

americ_ian

the cage will be that blue if that counts

yeah as i said, white hides dents/ripples in panels... it is a racecar afterall so i probly wil never get rid of them all ;p;

the car needs to be panelbeated quite well to hide all the imperfections to allow for a mettalic paint like the one you posted!

we shall see.. i plan to run flares/bigger wheels in the future so some sort of two tone will come then


altho i do like these





we shall see, i proly wil end up saying expletive it and doing something hot
