Oxidized/flaking/peeling/dull/scratchy paint is always better than rattlecan primer

[SoSideways]

But mine's not primer, it's just Matte paint. I also don't try to act like it's the hottest shit on earth. Truthfully, I don't like how it looks. I'd love to have a real paintjob. But I have higher priorities than my car.

But then again, I don't think lilredstiffy was referring to me. If he was, oh well. That's his opinion, and I just happen to agree with it.

amen to that! holding it down for people with matte paint that actually do stuff with their cars...

[IMPerfection]

How about: They both look like shit, and everyone on Zilvia is poor.

[bardabe]

Ha ha I got real paint

[mrmephistopheles]

Dang, I was going to buy a new STi or something and rattlecan it flat black.

[thejapino]

there is a BIG difference between 'primer' and 'flat black'. most poeple just spray their cars with primer and it looks shiitty.

No... No there is not. they both eat cheese.

[usdm180sx]

Damn. That CLS looks okay in an eff'ed up kind of way. It's not something that I would EVER do to a $100K car though.

[Ricks15]

Primer is extra HP

[thejapino]

[ALTRNTV]

why would any sane person want to roll like that when you could make the same car easily look like this

[usdm180sx]

I dunno. One of your boys posted the original pic.

[ispypsi]

Blame Dave Coleman and the flat blacked "project silvia". only the same 'tards who bought $1200 disco potato turboes so they could get that uber sweet 275hp would fall into the same trap of "a flat black car is badass y0".


i feel this thread was directed at most of the florida kiddies :gay: hahaha. that's the common scene around here.

1. buy busted s13.
2. rattlecan flat black, or gray. be sure to tiger stripe the fuck out of it.
3. weld diff.
4. hand-me-down tein s.tech/blown agx combo
5. beat the fuck out of it.

total cost = $50? lol

flat black and rattlecan flat black are 2 totally different things. i can count on my one hand the amount of cars in general that ive seen rattlecanned that actually would be mistaken for at least a maaco $150 special job.

i guess i dont understand either, how people cant wait for their kit to be on or this or that. all about being seen i guess, but id rather be seen without new stuffs than be seen with ghetto new stuffs. thats the worst.

also, not sure if true, but ive been told that if u rattle can a car (maybe not counting rattle primer), its hard as crap to strip it off when doin a real paint job and just creates more work. not sure if thats true but then again, 99% of people who rattlecan their car dont ever make it to real paint...besides fixing "battle scars" with bandaids, zipties, and a few quick passes of the can heals all right? :roll:

and by "battle scars", i mean asshats who roll off cliffs and clip trees and curbs on a weekly basis. anyone who has a rattled canned car and actually tracks it and beats it up, i'll tip my hat to you. and people who use primer towards fixing their car is ok, as long as you're not passing it off as a fix for your poor fender roll on your stock +40 wheels, and actually get paint within a certain time period afterwards.

ps - "Russ Rant" FTW!

[!Zar!]

Primer isn't a color.

So unless your whole car is bare metal. Stop it.

Only people who rock primer are water drinkers that fail at life.

[kenversusryu]

i vote this thread really pointless.

[Replicant_S14]

...I rather see primer than body panels that are six different colors. Calico is for rustangs and cats fools.

[lilredstiffy]

If you have a body panel that is a different color because a suburban tapped you, or you hit a trailer, or a barrel, etc, fine who cares about that.

If you inherit a 240sx from grandpa or grandma, with perfectly fine paint, maybe some bird poop and a ding or two on the door, for the love of god stop shittily masking the car and painting the car primer. Another horrible one is buying a body kit, and instead of painting the bumpers & skirts to match the car, you just paint everything primer.

it looks like shit. its not cool

every single buildup thread with someone 'new' to the community has their car rattle can primered. someone told them its a good idea. im just saying its a bad. real bad. like doing your mom and grandma doggystyle in the same night bad

[IMPerfection]

lol at this thread... only zilvia

Let the primer kids do what they want, it makes my poor fucked up car look better. Same story for the patchwork quilt motherfuckers. It's their goddamn car, and if they wanna look all fucking clown shoes then they can do so.

EDIT: Oh, and R240NA.... what?! The community's image? To everyone else not in the scene, we're just a bunch more fucktard riceboys dumping thousands of dollars into worthless generic 90's asian cars.
Seriously, as much as I agree with every word you said, it's not worth getting worked up over because our image is not gonna change. Every dollar I spent on my car in the first 9 months of owning it was replacing shitty old stock parts, from my brake pads to my suspension bushings, from my subframe bushing collars to my exhaust manifold gasket, ad infinitum. Only now, after having owned it for nearly a year (though to be fair, I had to leave it at home while I was away at school last spring/summer), have I saved enough cash to start doing real modifications... and then right fucking after I buy my coilovers and differential, some shithead pulls a hit and run on my car while I'm in class, so now I have no money to fix that, and I can't claim on my insurance because insurance is lame. I paid more than average to get a unblemished virgin car from its original owner (a 45-year old lady) so I'd have a clean slate to start from, and now my rear fender and bumper are fucked up. And no, I haven't primered any of the damage. Anyhow, this got really long-- What I'm trying to get at is, all I can control is what I do with my car, so that's all that I should concern myself with... and at least I know I'm doing that the right way, to the best of my limited knowledge and ability.
