Finally...

Mr.Woolery · 06-12-2006, 12:05 AM

FINALLY, after about a year of weekends doing body work, my NA is ready for paint. The transport trailer comes next weekend, then off to the paint shop. Color will be dark green (similar to BRG, but with no olive tone to it). Considering painted rally stripes, but I'm on the fence about it (am afraid the stripes will get me undue attention by police).

Considering Fleetcolor to do the paint job, but am always willing to hear other recommendations.

Next step is to swap stuff from the old engine to the new one, install the clutch/tranny, and prep the whole thing for installation into the car once it returns from the paint shop.

AWESOME!!!!! haha i can still remember when you got those cruise doors...dare i say it might rival the blue potato?

Mr.Woolery · 06-12-2006, 12:32 AM

Nah, this ain't a competition. The Blue Potato is an inspiration, not a rival.

Brotherhood, man, brotherhood. =D>

RusMan · 06-12-2006, 01:14 AM

Awesome, you must post pics when you get it back from the shop!

Is Fleet where the amazing CrimsonMX5 was painted?

If so, I give a thumbs up too.

So that's your excuse for not showing up at "Cars"?

At least one of has our priorities straight (...you)

:wink:

Congratulations on the milestone!

Too bad The Toad won't be available for Tech Day inspection...

the blue potato · 06-12-2006, 02:22 PM

David - BRG green (with that hint of blue in it) and yellow stripes - but I recommend something in the 7" wide stripe - actually one stripe down the center would rock.

Post piccies when you can.

cheesefries · 06-12-2006, 03:13 PM

Since theres so much discussion about BRG i might as well give some helpful visuals....

.....

someone photoshop a yellow stripe now!

Phatmiata · 06-12-2006, 03:14 PM

sweet cant wait to see it bro!!! Its long overdue!

Matt [exz3owner] · 06-12-2006, 05:33 PM

i don't know fleet. and i don't know what you are looking to pay. But in SoCal, the 3 shops that are frequented by custom cars are:

MOB works
20/20
Custom & Classic

MOB Works is cheaper than you'd think for thier work. Other than that, I'm a pretty firm believer that you get what you pay for with paint work...

Mr.Woolery · 06-12-2006, 08:51 PM

I've seen a car done by MOB Works. It looked great initially, but it didn't hold up very well at all, spiderwebbing, chipping, and other problems on the car less than one year later. I don't think I'd take my car to them. I want a paint job that'll last a long time, not wow the crowds for a few months then suffer a quick decline.

I haven't heard of 20/20 or Custom & Classic, but I'd be willing to contact/interview them if I had some more info on their shops. Anyone have a link?
