Take some lacquer thinner to your exhaust where there is overspray on it

buentellomma · 12-26-2011, 07:06 PM

Just painted my buddy's AE86 today, corvette atomic orange and black two tone..

Lovely Idol Inc. · 12-28-2011, 11:36 PM

Mixed a custom color for this one, combo of toyota silver and black to accent the wheel color. The rest of the interior might be getting done later in base/clear and the sound deadening removed. Pictures kind of suck and don't do it justice, there is also a very suttle special something that you can only see when you are in the car.

sick job on that ae86!

Not as much as if you paint it orange, yellow, red, or tri stage/pearls

Silver really isn't that expensive but since you are in socal you have to deal with homo water based paint so it takes a lot more paint to do anything

Drewber2006 · 12-31-2011, 02:49 PM

If I can get a really dark silver color I would be contempt. I wa thinking about just going black but I don't want to pay out my ass for such a basic color lol. Doesn't need to sparkle or anything like that. I'd rather finish my turbo setup instead of paint my car

I don't really know anything about paint but I'd like to gain some knowledge. So in Cali we have to use water based paints? What? P

Lovely Idol Inc. · 12-31-2011, 03:28 PM

Southern California law says to use low voc paints but all of the low voc solvent based paints are super shitty and chip easily, so water base is better, it just takes forever to spray between coats.

If you can get someone who uses solvent based paints, do it. Water base is pretty transparent.

Thanks

anyone know this color?

thenooblet · 01-02-2012, 02:49 PM

^I think its OEM Red.

Lovely Idol Inc. · 01-02-2012, 05:38 PM

Yeah, I am pretty sure its the kouki red

allntrlundrgrnd · 01-02-2012, 08:08 PM

The feature doesn't list a color so I think it's safe to assume it's a factory color.

Edit: 2,400 posts!

mxracerjason · 01-04-2012, 12:20 PM

If it's not factory it could be anything from Toyota Super Red code 3E5 to Ford Vermilion Red code E4.

*Wake* · 01-04-2012, 01:58 PM

I really hope your not 42

Because you seriously make some of the most fucking retarded posts on this site.

19kouki98 · 01-04-2012, 05:01 PM

hey so sorry if this has been previously discussed, but I've always been interested in whether a database for 240's, specifically 97-98, on the number of vehicles produced based on their factory colors. I've tried searching for quite some time so I'm not sure if such a database exists. Figured this would be a better place to ask than to start a new thread. The reason being is that i have a silver moss and i know its a pretty rare color behind the starfire and fuschia. just that I'd like to see specific numbers if possible. Thanks for any help provided.

*Wake* · 01-04-2012, 05:06 PM

I know for a fact its somewhere on this site.

pretty sure all the production numbers are around here somewhere. i have seen em just cant remember where.

19kouki98 · 01-04-2012, 05:22 PM

well that's a good sign. hopefully it turns up. thanks for giving me some hope haha

*Wake* · 01-04-2012, 05:40 PM

Theres a lot of info here but no actual numbers of what color was produced. I kinda skimmed tho so you can look a little more in depth.

19kouki98 · 01-04-2012, 05:47 PM

true no numbers but I do find it very interesting, thanks for the help man!

*Wake* · 01-04-2012, 05:49 PM

no problem, i actually learned a little from that too.

I had no idea that creamy yellow 2tones were only offered in 89 and got replaced by the seafoam. Kinda cool to know

19kouki98 · 01-04-2012, 05:52 PM

it is. fits this thread well too

*Wake* · 01-04-2012, 05:56 PM
