I got my body kit repainted yesterday, after we got done shooting the color, i knew the color was off. we checked and tried colors over and over again, matching them to my nose piece...s@!t outa luck. so now, for the third time, i have to start over. but i am now scuffing down the whole car and repainting it(the only good thing about this situation). if my parents had let me repaint the whole car like i had wanted, and my mentor had suggested...this would have never happened, and my car would be done by now...but nope. it just got screwed up again...
my mentor says that the original paint has faded its red color and has gone to a more copperish/red look, rather than the cherry pearl/red color flop.

here are some pics of the situation, and the last one is gonna be the final color

 

damit b, why do you have to mess EVERYTHING up.

You're going to mess up the complicated process of putting on those stickers too huh?

 

B is gonna get it done right...Keep up the good work man

 

well, i just got back from dropping the z off at the body shop for its new paint job tommorrow
heres the work i have done on it over the last week...

 

the bumper took me around 2 hours to put on...i had a few problems with mounting the new one..
the bumper turned out alright...there are some things that are gonna bother me forever, but i guess it fit pretty well.
more pics...

 

and here it is before going into the body shop...
i spent about 12 hours this week sanding down the whole body
maybe 4-5 hours were spent sanding down nicks and fixing dents and imperfections...i had to get every last one of them

oh and i moved the passenger side fender out to match the front bumper so it doesnt look weird anymore

 

I've never liked that nose panel, but it looks just right on your car. What is up w/ ur corners though B? They look goofy..Did you ever get the condensation out of them?

 

they stick out too far
i think theres still a bit of condensation in them tho too

 

sooo wide soo complete sooo sexy keep it up man ure car is one sexy Fairlady

 

lol, kinda looks like its got nostrils, but still cool tho ^.^

 

hah dam good observation. Well, at least it will be functional since he opend the ducts..

 

So B is the car done yet ?

 

yeah
i picked it up yesterday
swapped exhaust today
and i have to put wing, side skirts, wiper cowl, rear bumper on tommorrow
and there will be bunches of pics tommorrow

 

I'm getting excited, can't wait to see the finished product.
