Pettit, if you want to achieve a Panda paint (two-tone), be sure the charcoal bottom compliments the the top color. If you are going for contrasts in the other direction, your photoshop works. Given any thought to making a true Panda by powdercoating the wheels to the bottom's chosen color?

Not sure exactly what you're trying to say. That picture is the paint scheme I'm going for, Sil front and all. I haven't decided on wheels, but I do know that they won't match the charcoal bottom. I'm thinking something polished.

[FLMadness]

Didn't feel like busting out the guns so I just did the advanced auto special candy paint..
Really brought back life to the horrid old tails

[Sugoi_Style]

Pettit, I was merely offering +2 Cents, that's all. Some thoughts behind your two-tone concept. Polished lip/wheels will look killer.

[JKL1031]

about how much to paint a s14 a basic black anyone?

painting from red as well.

White with polished lip nwould be sick.

or complete polish like varrstoens, judging from your previous statements your defintitly on the right track. just dont get XXR's

please tell me you all the black trim on the taillight is masked and you didnt just shoot it, because if you did thats fuck awful...

though the lens looks nice, i may do something like this to my old set of tails after a wet sand to get out all the scuffs and burns from the previous owners failed attempts at sanding the car with a DA and hitting his tails



expect shots of my fresh paint job in the next few days, im excited, its been a month in the making...nothing spectactular, but im still proud of it

[FLMadness]

if you look its all masked off.. i used 1/8'' tape for the center and just normal 1'' tape all around... wet sanded with 1000g. total process took maybe a half hour.
its only 8$ a can rather then spending a stupid amount on actual candy..

Had XXRs, and I'm not going down that road again haha.

Thanks for the responses guys, all of them have been put to thought.

it says it's an e92 and i'm 99% sure it's an m3. i searched the bmw colors from that chassis/model and couldn't find anything close. i'm assuming its a custom color or from a different make...any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this was answered, but this paint is from a Porsche GT3RS; it's Seal Gray

Well you must have done a great job masking, i cant really see the tape...definitely post pics when its demasked and on the car...since i picked up cherry perfect tails at the yard (best $50 at the yard ever) i trying to figure out what i want to do with my set that was on the car, they are a little rough and need a solid wet staged grit wetsand, 2 owners ago burnt them with a DA when he ripped the oem white off an primered it (and never painted it so it rusted and i had to strip the car down and neutralize it and etch the whole car)


didnt get my trans in today (ka trans is a BITCH to clear the tunnel) but once i do, ill get the car together and snap some pics for the thread.

thanks for the input however the color i believe it is "porsche grey/black"...thats actually its name lol. it was a special option on the gt3rs's. that is also the color your posted. seal gray however is a lighter more silver color:

the shop sponsored s13 is getting a 2j, that means new covers to be painted

[Sugoi_Style]

^Prodigy circa mid '90's hit: "Outer Space" for that valve cover...

[chiboy002]

can someone identify a color code similar to this? I was thinking daytona blue but that seems a little too light

[xtreme_s14]

Personally, I would either go one color or go lighter on the charcoal. Pastel colors tend to work well with rounded cars, which your car's aero compliments. The charcoal you selected contrasts too much with the pastel.
