Repspray Results

red has to be the ugliest colour for a car in my opinion;)

that blue looks great. Iknow what you mean about the yellow pearl being hard to capture with the camera. My cousin did his car green with yellow pearl, and the yellow pearl just comes out light green or white in the photos. In real life its amazing

nice job man, it looks sweet as!

just curious... is there any law that say that your engine bay has to be the same colour as the rest of the car?

[Craved]

dont think so kryptr, i think there has been cars released from factory with black engine bays! most people do them because they change colour, my car was black so i didn't mind having a black engine bay!

[krptr]

sweet, thanks for the info.

Craved... how hard was the prep work?.... what was required?....

also: how hard was the actual respray... you got me thinking i can save some dough here

[JezR31]

I think ive seen your car at auto barn in Penrith once. Was it you?? It had a similar colour as that but it might have been bayside blue.

That color looks great on your car. I didnt realise how well its suited skylines.

[Craved]

DJ984, i didn't do the actual spray itself, i only did the prep at home then hired a booth and got a guy to spray it for me! took 4 months total to get it done, but i could have done it quicker, was playing around with a few things! i couldn't drive the car at the time anyway so it was the perfect time to do it! can save alot of cash this way, but it takes a lot of effort. you wont wanna sand anything once your done

Skyline_boy, could have been me in penrith, the stripes give my car away abit! ldont live too far from penrith! wouldn't have been lately though! havent been there for A while.

If you think that for every car thats been resprayed then your kidding yourself

In some cases its accident, but rarely does the ENTIRE car get resprayed in an accident,

The smart ones will see a resprayed car, check for accident.. find no accident and realise how much time and money and love had been put into the car.

relax bro! and quit the smart comments, its just a plain fact that however good the car looks its gonna be harder to sell a falcon blue skyline or a chameleon paint skyline or whatever else you blokes do in NSW compared to a white one

Well which is it? Will it have reduced value because of the odd colour or because people will think it's been in an accident? Or are you just making it up as you go along?

cool work on the paintjob craved, I've always wanted an imola yellow car, but I want to get a white r33 first, then maybe after a year or two I'll get it resprayed. But looking at your ride, I'm starting to change my mind, blue 'lines look the bomb!

[Cecam]

Looks pretty good Craved, I thought about respraying my R33 in a similar colour (a tad darker was my thinking) but have given that idea away, can't be assed anymore.

I have prep'd a few cars for respraying, last one was a full bare metal respray that was a bitch of a job. Like you just got someone to do the final spray. Last car (Jaguar S-Type) only cost $300 ($150 for the booth/oven and $150 guy spraying it, inc the dust coat for level and masking etc), and I think paint was about $600 for a golden metallic plus clear coat... not bad as thats engine bay, inside the doors and so on...you can save a bomb doing most of it yourself...

Villainous_J, what shade is imola? Theres a bright yellow R33 up the road from me and it looks like crap... maybe if it had a kit or something on it but stock (series 1) doesn't suit... I might grab a pic sometime, but I feel weird taking pics of other peoples cars

I'm thinking the imola yellow they use on the audi s4. It's a nice matte colour, no pearl or metallic look

[slyline]

hey man thats a sick paint job. What colour is it? and does it have glitter or flakes in the paint?

[Craved]

slyline, didn't think this thread was still going.

The colour is Blue Print - factory blue for the BA falcons. it's a metalic paint but the gold pearl looks like an added metalic colour since it was mixed into the clear not the blue!

alotta work there but it was all worth it!

thanks eberyone for the comments, makes it feel more worth it!

[mokompri]
