[SeverX13]

quick question. anyone with a painted CB hood or any painters here . could you tell me if i cost extra to paint a CF hood and how much harder it is?

[punkuup5150]

aww your getting it done before me >_< well i have to play catchup now lol. but to paint the cf hood shouldnt cost ne more ur going to have to prime and paint it just like a normal hood but u might have to work on the cf before u prime to work out any inperfections that might be in the resin coat. so it might cost a little more but if ur helping i dont see why they would charge u to much more esp if the hood can just be primed and painted. but i could be wrong there might be a whole other step im missing but ive also never painted on cf.

[jason]

Front and rear strut bars for the coupe (Striking4)

what, where, why?

please elaborate on the rear strut bar for a coupe?

where on earth did you find one, how does it fit, and why did you get one? the rear end is more than rigid enough as it is.

also bump, i wanna see some pics!

[punkuup5150]

after i received them i found out they were home made i wont be useing the rear i just have it lol and ill prolly end up redoing the front the welds look like crap and it needs to be refinished. and i wasnt sure how the rears even bolted up but with having a sub in the back i wont be useing it so it will ither go un used or junked or given to someone who thinks they can use it after eveything is done. one of these days i need to bring everything outta the garage and take some pics but theres so many boxes i dont wanna repack everything lol

[808celica]

where's the pics at??? i already painted my car

[punkuup5150]

im slow and i keep adding parts to the list lol

[SeverX13]

ok so i just took my car in for paint today. and tomorrow i am going to help out. i will be takin alot of pics these upcoming weeks. max should be 3 weeks till its all done.

[punkuup5150]

wow 3 weeks?? ither a busy shop or the guys taking his time to show you the ropes ither way im glad to hear you have things underway im guessing u decided on the orange paint?? and i cant wait to see it done

[SeverX13]

yea itll be worth it. he doesnt do it full time. he only has a couple days a week to do it. plus teaching me. but hes one of the best around, i guess u used to work for ferrari and paint them and do the body work. Its gonna be orange, just dont know what type. he gettin paintbooks for me that i can look at. i just dont want burnt orange or the orange of there newer cars.

[supershannon77]

sweet keep us updated.

[808celica]

everyone painting their car............wooot!!!!!

[zero07]

Yeah, i just got done painting mine recently, it was so exciting!

808celica your car came out great, congrats!

[punkuup5150]

i actually like the burnt orange but i think u should find a different flake to put into it instead of what normally comes in it. my i understand on the paint thing i cant seem to find the right grey i want ither i really like the viper grey but then i dont cause its not dark enough but i also like the new f250 grey ive been seeing really nice dark grey and with out alot of flake so i would be able to put in my blue flake like i want to

[SeverX13]

just look thru paint books/samples. body shops have em

[punkuup5150]

ive been looking i also have been researching online also im just being picky untill it comes down to actually painting the car then ill make a decision i still need my antenna and new gun i was out bid on the one i wanted by 5 bucks instead of watching ebay i went fishing stupid move on my part >_<

[SeverX13]

ok so yesterday i was workin on the celica and the question of graphics came up, he mentioned putting a vinyl sayin celica or something else, eben a design, and something with the way he paints over it, it would be slightly visible to the point where you can jsut see the words "celica" or what ever else is on there from further away. and when u are up close u cant even see it at all.

opinions would be nice, and maybe some ideas of what to put on the side

[D-Man]

if you decide on vinyls, this place has a crap load

http://www.customautotrim.com/graphics/

[punkuup5150]

what me and my uncle were thinking of doing is getting a graphic id like but getting the outside of it as a stencil then doing a slightly darker shade of paint for the pgraphic then airbrushing in detail. but to do that i would contact a local signshop u might be able to talk them into letting u have the stencil and let them have the graphic to resell for cheeper since they woudl be throughing it away anyways. im sick and cant spell so i know this is full of errors hope i made sense and it helps lol

[SeverX13]

if i cant find a decent vinyl i was thinkin about gettin vinyls of the badges , celica, GT, and the toyota symbol and then doin that look in the back, idk tho haha i guess i got soem thinkin to do, i just dont want it to look ricey

[punkuup5150]

yea thats why i didnt want to just put the decal on. it woudl be ghosted image instead of a vynal decal. u use a slightly darker color then what your painting then airbrush the edges to bring it out a little more a nice tear graphic would look nice. but you also have to think what would look good with your orange paint. i dont think ive seen ne nice looking decals on orange yet so good luck and cait wait to see it

[SeverX13]

not that much work, and you can leave the inside door panel off and try and spray the edges of the door.

[SeverX13]

looking good man... how much have you spent so far? what are you're plans for the suspension?

itll be just about 2500. mostly becuase of the extra bumper and sides i had to buy. and as for suspension, i have no clue. i plan on turboing it next and then suspenison. whats a small suspension mod i can do thats not 500 dollars or more?

[SeverX13]

well you can go Tein S-tech lowering springs that is almost $300 and Kyb Gr2 that are $50 each, you'll save more if you install them yourself, it will run you more than $500 but not less than $650.

[SeverX13]

wat is today like day 50??

thats weird man did you count the days? haha i just counted them and day 50 in this tuesday haahahha

[CelicaST_CALI]

hahaha ill take that as a compliment.

Northeast pennsylania haha. ull see pics on saturday, I have your number, ill text you when i put them up hahaha

[D-Man]

right on, except that i dont have internet at my house

My office is being used as storage till me and the wife get a bigger joint. (Baby's stuff is big & plentyful) seeing as i cant walk NEAR the office, i said fcuk it and save the money till we move. it'd take 3 days to access a CPU in my house. (hell it'd take 3 days to locate on in that room )

But deff for sure, I still cant wait to see em. You've been all excited about this for awhile now, so i'm getting antsy to see your vision come to life

[SeverX13]

oh your right on that one, im diein to drive it. But it looks alot better in person, my bodyguy had these small aluminum flakes that we put into the paint. I guess they dont make the flakes he had anymore so its like vintage flake hahaha. i love it

[D-Man]

What's so vintage about flaking? It's pretty common practice... (as far as custom paint jobs go ) only problem with aluminum, is they are notorious for stopping up a gun. some people use a special gun (after the paint is layed) but i dont like the effect that it gives. Looks like your covering the paint with glitter IMO. lol.

But when your flake is mixed with your paint, it creates a beautiful effect. Cant wait to see it. GTG.

[punkuup5150]

i cant wait to seee it ither im finally starting my car tomarrow so u give me somethign to look forward to.

[SeverX13]

haha trust me, ull have problems and probably feel like killin someone, but in the end....it pays off. I jsut got it back tonight. its amazing. i goin to a car show tomorrow so thats when ill take pics. we had some troubles with the lights, (see electrical/wiring forum) that was pretty messed up haha


looks amazing and i cant wait to post pics to see what my fellow 6gcer's think!

[punkuup5150]

im not worried about anyof that to tell u the the truth im more worried about getting all of my panels to line up right im moding everything to fit flush so i knwo im going to have to break out the fiberglass and resin which im not looking forward to. ive made so many custom one off boxes i kinda hate the stuff now smells horrible and lets just say i dont like the feelign i get off of it even when wearing a mask but other then that i know some things will come up but im prepaired for them as bast as i can and i enjoy the challenge. shoot just yesterday i put a detroit locker in for my first time lol only took a few hours but man it was worth it in the end just like the paint on my car cant wait for pics

[SeverX13]

Celica is done! pics in multimedia section!
