good info!

 

definately appreciate the write up! i'll be doing mine in about a month once i have my own garage (spray booth) i'll be using automotive paint. one problem i am having is deciding on whether or not to do the vents and if i do them do i paint the center ones. i think it would look kinda goofy since with the waterfall painted the same colors as the vents it would kinda look like a frame around the HVAC and radio. i have a BSP and am going to be painting the same things in the write up RS1 red so maybe i'll do the vents in BSP. I dunno, i still have a month or so to decide.

 

yeah the waterfall is cool as it is. you're right on the frame look and I think that might looks goofy. Just one mans opinion though

 

yeah that's what i'm thinking. but what do you think about the BSP idea for the vents.

 

in the center? maybe if you do the whole center part of the waterfall in that color, than maybe. but not if you do some bsp, leave some silver and than another color on the sides. too many colors going on. if you do the side vents, do them the same as whatever color yours going to do the rest of the parts. bottom line, i think there should only be one other accent color in the car.

 

ehhh, im not a big fan of painting the vents, i think it kills it, just makes it look like theres to much going on. but thats just my opinion, do some searching and find some pics to see if you like it, and if you do, then go for it!

 

I think i'll just leave the center vents alone and just paint the outer ones the same color as everything else. I'm going to bag it towards the end of the year so i'll probably put the air gauges there and delete the center vents.

 

How does anyone get the time to do these things to their car. I mean I love mine to death but I have no time to do these things to it ever. Good job to you!!!!

 

There are 24 usable hours in everyday

 

Nice!!! Im going to paint mine, jus not sure what color tho.

 

dawg dats sick! thanx now Im def gonna get da dash board project started. a few questions tho. wat paint makes it look like the car? wat coat goes on top of it to make it look glossy? how much drying time? how calm do u have to b wen spraying the paint lol wouldnt want it to b uneven /;

 

another question, how do u find BSP paint? cuz I should b gettin my eyelids and I wanna paint em too.

 

i must say great write up

 

I dont know where to find car color specific paints. A Gloss finished paint, or a clear gloss when you're done will make the finish "shiny" ... or glossy. For the rest of the info you're looking for, do a search, there are lots of other posts with detailed instructions on painting.

 

i saw on another post how to get it done but thanx!

 

Wow awesome Job. Im just wondering if FM would look good on the inside.. :/

 

Ok Im lookin for a place to do it so if anyone is in the MD area I'll give u 100 bucks. i dont trust myself too much lol. im free on sundays and wednesdays if i have to drive sumwere. who could do it?

 

Do it yourself, you'll appreciate it more! Practice on a spare piece of plastic first!

 

well i dont really have the time to practice enough to feel comfortable it'll take me like 2-3 months and materials. plus, if there's sum1 who knos how to do it correctly they deserve the side job opportunity. and i'll appreciate anything that costs me more than 50 bucks. im not rich but im obsessed with my toy lol. 100 to me is 10 hrs of work lol

 

if someone wants stock pieces to try to paint for their own car, check ebay as i saw a ton of " unusual" parts on there for sale ( as in every tiny piece almost like from a chop shop)_
