Well I just finished painting my 2000 teg ls.
Here is before pic:


And after:

I will also be puttin Konig Helium rims with falcon tires in a week. Let me know what you think!

 

not really tech related.. should be in the cosmetic forum..


paint looks nice.. how much.. what stage paint and color???.. did they paint you engine bay.. doors jams and such..

 

Whoops sorry bout the wrong category wont happen again . Cost me 500 bucks at a one day but he treated me really well, I think its cause he liked the fact that Im only 16 and am really into my car. I dont know what stage it is but I got it at 1 day paint and body centers on San Fernando Blvd in LA CA. They wernt supposed to paint the door jams, trunk, or the top corners of the fenders/bumper but they did anyway and they did a AMAZING job for the price.

 

paint looks alright. not really feeling the rims,lambo doors but if it works for you then coo.

paint

just hope it doesnt start cracking/chipping in a few months

 

Decide on ad ifferent wheel. Konig Heliums... overdone...

looks like a good paint job, not liking the lambo but what ever floats your boat

 

Paint looks nice. Make sure to take care of it properly. I'm not a fan of the CF on the red or the lambo doors but thats just my humble opinion. Paint is a good way to spend some $$.

 

Were you sponsered by Puma or something with that hideous paint scheme? no offense new paint looks much better though.

nice paint only $500

 

Im not really feeling the lambos or the rims either...paint looks nice tho for the price

 

ill be waiting,,,, 3-4 mothns later there will be a thread saying"oh no why is my paint chipping off!?!?" looks good for now tho

EDIT: there is no ******* way possible to do a COMPLETE color change of a car in a day, sorry, prep time ALONE for the jambs and the rest of the body could take up to a week if being done correctly.....

ps: where did your oem hood and fenders go?

 

well thats true for a massive bodyshop, but still, prep is everything when it come to paint if the prep work sucks, the finished product is gonna suck

 

Paint looks good . You should post this on the appearance/cosmetic forum.

Paint looks good

 

nice job, not feeling those particular rims though.

 

What rims are you guys talkin about? The chrome ones im gettin rid of and puttin konig helium rims with falcon tires in about 5 days, whenever they come. I got the car used with the puma strip along with the chrome rims, and the oem fenders+hood = trash cause the hood and right fender = messed up.

 

i was talking about those chrome rims. don't like that particular style.

 

Lol was the stripe intended to actually be the Puma stripe? if so, that's pretty funny, good job for de-ricing
