What is the white called on the Type-R?

Edwin562 · 06-20-2011, 08:30 PM

Champion white

chiboy002 · 06-20-2011, 08:55 PM

^ or alpine white

JaredP · 06-20-2011, 09:45 PM

alpine white is more of a "white" than championship...championship almost looks like a cream.

question, when people say they have "takata green" anything...is there a paint code for that color or do they just mix it to match the harnesses as best they can?

*Wake* · 06-20-2011, 10:35 PM

Volk has a color they call takata green. Its probably because the takata NSX (JGTC) had those wheels on it. However I dont know the code or if Rays has codes for their colors.

RichardDUONG10 · 06-21-2011, 01:16 AM

what kind of black is that

*Wake* · 06-21-2011, 01:29 AM

WTF?

What are you talking about? What black? Where? Weirdo.

Sugoi_Style · 06-21-2011, 06:47 AM

HAHA Wake, I can't figure it out either...

Richard-
Is it the black of night, tyre black, unpainted 180SX aero kit black, or the TAKATA NSX carbon fibre black? Maybe it was a quick reply from reading a quote on another page and you didn't realize.

mantas · 06-22-2011, 03:46 PM

I painted my car this weird color, only know the color code not the actual name. Its a gunmetal with a hint of blue.

Looks like this at night:

Like this in shade:

RedSiBaron · 06-22-2011, 11:14 PM

speaking of championship white...

heres what i did a couple months ago and have been meaning to post up...first full strip to paint car ive done

took apart and sanded/rust stopped/filled to here

etched

sandable primer

found a shank in the trunk

replaced hatch, because i found this disaster while sanding

got these from junkyard for $50, score

made a paint booth in the garage

voila

sorry for all the pics, im proud of myself, ive never done a full paint job start to finish myself before, let alone painted it in my garage...

Sugoi_Style · 06-23-2011, 09:10 AM

^Paint job looks well attended to. Nice score on the tail's price, too. Roll n' pull on the fenders or stock, unmolested body?

fyneyoungstunna · 06-23-2011, 10:26 AM

Well CRAP, someone beat me to "cream" white on an s12.........Well now i gotta chose a whole nother color.

ballinnmiami240sx · 06-23-2011, 06:08 PM

Just got done painting my buddies car another felloww Team Sumospeed member.

did a little bit of hue correction to get the color to what it looks like IRL....Shit is buttery!!!!

I know a few thing about making a 240 dope status!!!

thanks man i really appreciate it...i wanted to roll the rears, but i didnt because of time constraints and tool availability...body is perfect, no molestation, no pull, no rust

xBtony · 06-23-2011, 08:02 PM

Hypnotic teal off the gen2 scion xB's. Did it my self, along with all the body work and such in my autobody class. I need to get some better pics of the paint. Car still needs to be cut and buffed...and bumpers...and like 2000 other things hahahah

Oh btw does anyone know where i can get the quarter glass moulding?

*Wake* · 06-23-2011, 08:18 PM

looks good man, I was wondering when i was going to see that color. looks good on a coupe.
moldings can be had here.

^I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the quarter window moulding is part of the window. You're not supposed to remove it for paint, as it cannot be reinstalled. Time to source new quarter windows!

*Wake* · 06-23-2011, 08:27 PM

damn thats good to know.

soreballz · 06-23-2011, 08:29 PM

Yeah, I learned that the fun way.

C. Anderson · 06-24-2011, 08:58 AM

I removed mine for paint, put them back and they don't leak. Just use a heat gun and press them out. Don't use a glass removal tool because it tears up the seal.

I reused my moldings. Assuming yours are in ok shape...go to a window shop and have them glue that crap back in with the caulking they use for windshields and rear windows. I thought mine were going to fall out as soon as i leave the shop but it's been 3 weeks and not a problem. Not to mention the shop aligned them perfectly, have no leaks either. Don't blame me if something goes haywire but it worked for me.
