my retro BMW Z8....

Post by ph2t »

just got this ride from a fellow brucemicro member and I thought, what the hell, lets paint this shell to sorta signify a changing of the guard so to speak.... I dunno, whatever..... point is it's been cool doing it....

I went to town on the prep, couldn't help myself... :-(

Sofar, this is it.. I still have a bit of detailing to complete. I don't have the front light bezels so I might be putting leds in there to detract from that effect..I was thinking of putting a fine racing line down the centre of the car as well, just to add to that retro feel I get about it....

That's one of the cleanset jobs I'.ve seen. How do you plan to sort out the windows?

Good work... Keep us posted.

Looks pretty cool, but that shine is a little rough...Perhaps you need a little more clear coat....:-)

Bah, nevermind what I said. Do whatever you want....your car.

Also noticed how you removed the windows in order to paint it... I can't do a perfect window masking job...I think I may try that tactic when I get more paint...

EDIT: Shit, payaso beat me to it.... Next time I gotta type faster. :-(

@payaso, thanks pimp! she's no where near finished yet! I removed the windows to clean it seperately, there is crap from previous homebrew paint jobs on the underside and I need to clean it....

@goku, there's no clear coats on it...
