I thought you found a place to paint your car?

SUPERSTAR · 04-17-2008, 01:16 AM

^ I did, now I have to pick out the color?

I was going to go with the Solar Orange from 350z and had my engine bay painted that color. But now I am not so sure.

ANYONE WHO HAS COLOR IDEAS? LMK

Car looks line one on my sig

nissan562 · 04-17-2008, 01:17 AM

Pina Auto Body right?

SUPERSTAR · 04-17-2008, 01:19 AM

Yeah Ozzie, He is a 240 owner and was at last TOUKE event.
He goes by ToukePina on here

SUPERSTAR · 04-17-2008, 01:35 AM

I like Hypertek's prototype of the DTC SUPERSTAR.

nissan562 · 04-17-2008, 10:40 PM

That's the way to go there or Orange like you wanted to

SUPERSTAR · 04-18-2008, 10:27 AM

Yeah, we will see. Unless you guys have any better ideas for color scheme?

hit up Miguel over at Mob Works in Orange

www.mobworks.com

The same can be said for miguel, screw mob works. I can tell you every big name shop that everyone recommends is going to quote you 3-5 k. your car will be missing for a minimum of 2-3 months with excuses.

the more you get on their ass to get the car done the more your car will come back to you with missing bolts, paint imperfections, etc.

you want show quality paint, learn how to paint and paint it yourself or get rid of your car for 3-5 months and get it painted. I've had my experiences with body shops and I'll never take my car to one again.

I fell for the same "they do show cars in the magazine" paint job bullshit that many people fall for.

DONT FALL FOR IT!

Go to their shop, let them show you cars that they have done, build a relationship with the owner and feel re assuered you're not going to get dicked around because they're too busy taking insurance jobs over your "dream" car.

My little brother does body work, I would completely trust him in painting my car and I know the turn around would be worlds faster than any body shop because I can help work on my own car and ensure it's not being done half assed.

So good luck with whatever you decide. But paying 3-4k for a repaint is a straight up *grab your ankles and get fucked* move. It doesn't even cost that much for the materials.

AutoExplosion.com in Gardena does consistently great paintjobs at very reasonable prices

I'm going with the same color, sandstone beige metallic kg2. My goal with my car is to restore it to "like new from teh factory" status. I just picked up the kouki 180sx tails and a new winshield moulding so she should look [retty new when she's done. I can't wait!

SUPERSTAR · 04-20-2008, 01:04 PM

Sweet, I found some lights for my hatch. New for 450.00 is that a good price? 4 pieces.
