That's original. I'm not sure if I've ever seen you get all crazy paint theme like that before - good to push your own boundries - ya never know if a gem will come from it or what.

Clean as always. Dig the spoiler. Good job getting rid of that license plate too. Who woulda thought they sold all them colors in fingernail polish.

I've been practicing painting bodies with emerald green and silver.
Then I see this, now I'm gonna go cry.
I love that green with the silver.

Thanks, man.

Custom mixes... I bought about 10 different colors to mix & match.

Yeah, I'm being kinda shy about it I guess.

I havn't finished anything, just making all of those usual mistakes a beginner painter does.
Wondering why it bled here, laying on too thick there, etc.
But heck, you're right, I should post 'em, I can surely use some pointers and advice.

That fin is the shit dude. Looks great. Now you got my ass thinking about raiding the wife's beauty stash. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but that isn't a 2 tone, it's 3 different colors? The body kit is a goldish color by what I see.

As for Decals, I really think that's the final touch that would make this thread be about how bad ass the car is as apposed to nail polish. Bottom line, good looking ride Hue.

Yeah, the body is silver, green and a gunmetal grey (the warm light makes it look a bit goldish).

I just started playing with some decal ideas last night, but didn't have much time... I'm gonna go ahead with it, even though I'll probably fuck it all up... it's cool, though... that's why I have a huge stash of shit.

Which reminds me, Motorgong, I know you were selling off some extra bodies, but you should consider hangin' on to those for practice purposes... I've thrown lots of bodies away, for one reason or another, so I'm always glad I have "those boxes of little boxes"... takes the pressure off.

HOARDING RULEZ!!!!

OK, so I finally got around to making some decals for this car...
it's not perfect, but it's gonna be a driver. FETs, springs up front
and a mystery 3.8, and she'll be ready to kick some ass at the
track...

I read the whole thread and when I first saw your paint job I thought of how nice it came out..Just nice...because of the color choices. Was not too found of the orange rims...

Next thing I know I scoot over to the 2nd page, and BAM! We got decals on our hands...

Hue let me tell you man, you and that ride kick ass my friend. Lovin the schematics and whole vibe of the ride. Touche'....

Well done big guy!

Holy Crap man those decals are sweeeeeet! I like the designes and the colors you used!

my next mods are going to your house for the finishing touches!

Post by **CaboWabo** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 10:15 pm

Yea dude, those decals really tie it all together. That's the schizzle.
The only thing else I'd consider to do would be to chrome cap those pin-heads in the front and back wheels.

Those decals really set it off.
Nice work!

Nail polish is also quite durable. It should hold up fine as a driver.

looking good man! It looks like it drifted right outta a magazine

Thanks a shitload, y'all... hopefully this is the front end of gettin' in some kind of groove again. Either way, it felt good to get this one done.
