#95376, "The widebody is just about finished...PICS."


          

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

It looks funny in the pic, its super shiny in person, my camera is a piece of shit keep in mind.

Boosted60, yes I put A TON of flake in it, and for one reason. When you go to a show, how many cars do you see with flake in it like that? NONE, thats why I did it, it will be an eye catcher FOR SURE

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

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!
