Well, I ended up clearing the car one more time after-all for a super high glossin shine! I first threw down a coat of clear with some silver flake mixed with it, then 2 more coats with some blue in it, then 2 more coats of regular straight clear. WOW does it shine now and it hasnt even been wetsanded or buffed yet. Came out perfect! I will get the doors, hatch, and front bumper back on on Tuesday since I am off work, but wait til you guys see it at the SO! I like it alot better too cuz it made it a bit darker, and thats what I wanted. It looks nice when its not sunny out either cuz you cant really see any flake but then when some light hits it, its like WHOA! I know most of you wont like it cuz of how much flake is in it, but I am kinda old school like that, and I like stuff like that, however I welcome your comments/opinions, and I shall have complete pics of it done on tuesday It is a little dusty too cuz its been sitting in my garage for about 4 days now while I have been sanding my new interior, ya ya, dont worry, the clear is fully cured so the dust wont stick to it!

P.S. notice there are no more flames on the hood either

nice mike, that is quite a bit of flake, definetly an eye catcher. I've been waiting to see these since you changed your damn sig and avatar. Oh and now the hood looks much better IMO. I think everyone is still waiting on some track numbers though

Looks like a bigger version of a hot wheels car.

That shade of blue with THAT much flake looks kind of girly. Seriously if I was pulling up to that I would be expecting a chick, probably a hot one, but none the less a girl.

To be honest, what Thewerks was saying i kinda thought at first.. but i got a feeling it's going to grow on me, i already really like it though mike, the hood looks very nice now, the NSX scoops are a definite upgrade IMO. Now, lets put some doors on that thing and get it to the track!

i think its beautiful, how much money did you spend on clear coat paint chip all that stuff, i know you painted it yourself, im just seeing how much im going to spend when i do it myself, i want a real clean one like that, thanks

What day do you want to go up?

I'm usually not a big fan of flakes but with the blue that you chose, the flakes look really good. I can't wait to see the final pics once you have the whole car put back together.

Looks good mike. If you want to do something you never see then learn how to make and spray crushed glass. Do some reading on that, it will take you way back to the 70's.

Terry

Well i work till 11pm on saturday, ill give you a call when i get off, and i drive up there. And i should get sunday off if i do, i'll deff go with you then.

can you explain the process of what you did for painting, i got quoted about 5000 tod o my paint job, and i cant afford it, i want to do it my self i think

-MIKE-

Stroked 2.2L

no im not gonna do it just yet, i am planning on practicing

do your own prep work that would knock about 1500 off the price just have them do a once over to check your work and fix any mistakes

We will build you bigger and stronger


Wake up and drive my ass... More like wake up and fix it.

Looking good Mike! Have to hand it to you...I am very impressed!

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

whoa that is the first decent pics I have ever seen you take of anything

NOW

use that camera on your engine! and I really want to see the car with doors on it, too.

you did some hella good molding on this car i used to allways get told my car looks like a bass boat cause the flake mines black/blue flake really like it keep up the good work might ask you some painting technics some time soon im going to redo my car if you had to choose another color what would it be ??

I was just thinking Mike, if you had a carbon fiber hatch, that would really set it off.

You should defintely consider it. That way, you won't have to worry about new holes for your spoiler, and wingless definitely will look good on that car.
