OK. Paint has finally happened. I think it looks fantastic, but I may be a tad bias : )

First thing I have to say, is there has not been any photoshopping in any of these pics. Seriously, there was no changes made, so don't hassle me about photoshop : )


Here it is in the booth after the black was applied and back masked.

I still assure you 100%, these are real unmodified pics. And before you start, yes, they are pics of the same car : )

I really like the pink. It reaches out to my more feminine side : )


Posted Image


It's such a pity the pink is only the base coat for the real colour : )

The pics really don't do the colour justice. Even though it's a solid colour, it really reacts well to different light.

It's even a little bit straight and shiny : )

So there you go.

The flares, mirrors, tank straps, wiper motor and hatch handle will get painted today or tomorrow then it can come home : )

Then I just have to wait for the chrome to come back.

YAY!!!!!!!!

Not enough black.

Thought that pink smelt a bit fishy.

I must say you had me at the pink Tim.

But OMFG! That is a nice paint job. The colour looks magic and the body is so straight. You are an artist Tim.

Nice job Tim. All that extra time you spend on the body makes it all worthwhile when it turns out like that. Posted Image
Just wondering what the name of the color was, and if you did it in COB or 2K.

I haven't got the actual name of the colour, I just have the paint code. (don't know it off the top of my head though). It's a lamborghini colour.

If it was just going to be one colour I'd have used 2k, but because it's 2 colours we used COB so you can't feel a step where the colours meet.


Thanks for all the nice words guys. Looking forward to getting it home and assembled. I'll have to share my time with the camaro though, so there wont be updates EVERY day, just a few a week. I hope that's OK Posted Image


hehehehe.


Hard to believe it's finally all coloured in!!!!
