veritech-z Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Ok, so if anyone was following the My S30 Drawings thread starring Olderthanme, racerx, z-tard, myself, and a few others, you might have heard mention of Operation: camo zzzap! In the spirit of good natured jack-assery and lovers of over the top silliness everywhere, I have decided to put my money where my mouth is so to speak, and get started on what may or may not be a source of WTF?! threads on other internet forums for minutes to come... So, in case you guys missed it, here is the inspiration for operation: camo zzzap! Somebody posted a picture of a busted yellow zzzap z a week or so ago, and it got me thinking. I actually dug the graphics, just not the colors.... I made this drawing, and Olderthanme suggested I actually do it, so I decided what the heck, i've got nothing better to do... the car before paint... the supplies... the tape job (yes that is duct tape, not masking tape...) I'm planning to paint the airdam and the side stripes tomorrow before work since I go in late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenp405 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm really liking the stripes on the front of the hood. They turned out very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 you are a pure genious. Now just to do the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruxGNZ Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 You know, that actually doesn't look half bad. Different, but kind of cool looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 very cool.. very different... but ya should have masked off the rest of the car . also... i love your sig... those chat room storys were the best! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I want those wheels. The car looks better primered, but I think the whole thing in cammo would be HOT. Check out the exhaust, it hangs low and to the left, like my - ah nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Good luck finding another set of Impul Hoshino Racing RSIII in 17X7 front and 17X8 rear anywhere.... Don't worry Mike, I'm not done yet, I'm planning to touch up the rest of the flat black, and also spray the door stripes this morning. I'll load the pics up later. I might have to re attatch all these, because like the super genius I am I decided to load them up at 8megapixels, and my album is full, so I'll probably resize them a bit later. I was wondering if anybody would notice my sig...I thought that was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a long time. I kept picturing the Black Mage character from www.nuklearpower.com the whole time I was reading it. *edit* for those that don't get the joke, this thread we're talking about can be referenced by braving the dark, convoluted labyrinth that is known as.......the tool shed (dun dun dun!)

OlderThanMe Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I took a rattlecan to my car last night...I got bored while watching signs with mel gibson...not camo but it is still rattlecanning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Otm, you should get the yellow letter nascar tires to go with those nascar wheels you've got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 hmm... they aren't really nascar wheels...they are for the ARCA remax series...fwiw...lol I would like something otherr than my "visa" made cheapo tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 well go get painting instead of blabbing on the web... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 When I saw "camo" in the title I, was having my doubts. But I must say it turned out quite good actually. Not a big fan of camo but that one point that can change my opinion. What type of flat black is on there? Is it rattle can or sprayed? It looks pretty even.

Z-TARD Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 And here I was thinking that you couldn't improve on plain flat black.... That looks Bad-A$$ man, good job! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper5177 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I hate camo, but that looks sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Oh it's all rattle can baby! I turn my nose up at proffessional paint jobs, with your compressors and your spray guns...who needs em? If I had money though, that would be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
