Update:

I went with gunmetal on the top.
No pictures, because it's just a taped up car lol.



Oh, and the lights arent slanted - it might be the angles of the picture. ;]

Sounds cool! I looked at the original car and it actually has the top half painted in gunmetal ( hood, top, windows sides and trunk) but I think the way you're doing it will still be ok too.

Btw, I also noticed with every new update there seems to be a new avatar - cool!

Yeah, the pictures are kind of hard to tell with. I don't think she has any of each angle, theyre all just photography.

hehe, i like taking pictures :]]

Is that the primer? I was expecting a darker, more metallic grey, similar to the Lancer.

I think its just the flash on the camera. If you look at it close it's a tad darker and glossier, but its not primer.

It's not primer, the flash make it look lighter than it is.

there :]

I think it looks like crap, and it's kind of dirty looking.

It's like a metallic black, i dont know if i want to attempt cf.

Good job on it this far. You did well enough on filling in the spoiler holes, they came out smooth. You might use a tooth pick to touch up the line on the end of the trunk.

[XMODification]

I must be honest and say that's it's coming out great imo - it's your first time doing something like this and it really good (trust me on that - i've seen some other 1st time jobs that are nowhere close to this ). Plus there's the "girl" thing - you're doing way better than some guys that just got into this hobby as well .

Try taking pics out side without in the shade without the flash - it should help capture the true color (ask Donzi or Tex - they're good at the camera thing ).

[suicide_star]

for god's sake...LOWER IT! =P it looks ok so far, i thought it'd be more gunmetal than almost primer grey..the flash don't make it THAT BRIGHT...awesome job with the masking, can we get some bigger pics?

[Tmaxxn3]

like this theres also the subaru in the back thats lower too but it does look really good lowred i messed up the white one its going to be re done soon.

[Lancer_Man]

I wish the whole car would have been the color of the trunk. Good job, though - for a first time paintjob, it looks nice!

[M0DEL]

I'm just posting the back to show the flaws and ask if anyone has any suggestions. I also have the true color of the car showing, rather than the "it is primer?" color.

Notice the drips of black on the bumper, and the sanded side.
I didn't over come my blonde, and um put tape to gloss and .. yeah. :/



Ideas, suggestions?

[dontspamme]

For the black paint that dripped onto the rear bumper, I would just suggest taking it off and repainting it. Should be pretty easy. How did you sand the side? For the windows, go over them with a toothpick dipped in black paint. The paint is a bit dull, going for more shine or is that the colour? Other then the flaws, it looks pretty good!

[XMODification]

yeah - I would take it off and sand it over then paint it by itself - as for th other spot I think you can use a paint brush to cover it up and then use the toothpick like what dontspamme mentioned.

Don't feel bad about it btw - I had that happen to me a few times and I just had to repaint the whole thing 'casue it was pretty bad.

I hope you get it and i'm looking foward ot seeing more.

I went over mine with a black gloss paint marker when I was done with the body paint.
