Chewievette Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Since I seem to be in league with Veritech-z, I've decided to pony up the vast sums of cash required for a quality, top of the line, rattle can paint job. Anyways, I spent $20 this morning on white primer, orange, light blue, and dark blue, all in spray bomb form of course. All this to suppliment my two cans of red and a can of black. Now what is all this for? Well, a picture is worth a thousand words... So far it is only an illustration, but by tomorrow night it should be a bit more. Why have I decided this? Well I've got so friggin much body work to do I might as well do a cheapo paint job till I get it all done. So I'm doing it, Like it or not, just keep in mind it's temporary.

haukenes Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Haha, I like it! i don't know if i could live with it forever, and it'd probably warrant explanation to your friends... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Since they all know I'm crazy already, not much explaination is needed. Depending on how long it takes to do body work my paint scheme could change quite a bit. Rattle cans are cheap and I really dont have anything better to do with my free time.

veritech-z Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Spoken like a true captain in the drift armada. Our motto: "rattle cans are cheap, and we've got nothing better to do with our time." Soon as I get a logo made up, I'll post it up so you can shoot it on there somewhere and represent to the fullest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewievette Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Unforuntely I've got to get ready for work so it aint done, but in another couple of days I can finish it up. I had a snafu with the paint I picked up yesterday, turns out the orange is more of a yellow. So now I'm using Chevy Orange engine paint. Luckily the white primer is working fantastically, it doesn't hide anything, but it does cover very well. I got most of the orange base done and a little of the white ...this may take longer than I expected. Maybe I should have worked on it some yesterday. Oh well, it'll get done sooner or later. My memory and the rest of my brain were not communicating today so I forgot the camera, I'll get some pics next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 What's up man?! your losin' 'em! You have to strike while the iron is hot with some fresh pics, or everybody is going to lose interest! You'll end up like that guy that was putting together the mystery Formula D 240z that had like three pages of people asking to see pics, and then he never did, and his car never appeard on Formula D, and now nobody cares...

Chewievette Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 I blame my fantastically crappy memory!! I swear!! Besides, it looks like crap right now. I'll spray the top camo and then take pics. Multi stage painting is annoying, but fun!! I'll be back on it either friday or saturday I need my computer back up and running!

Chewievette Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Still not done but all I have left to do is the pass side. When I do that I'll take pics and post them. I'm sorry for my horridly slow progress and unbelieveably bad memory that insists that I dont have a camera when I acctually do something worth photographing. but I promise that the pics are coming, soon. I've got tuesday off from work and provided its not raining you'll get your pics!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 "Chewie, Activate the hyperdrive!" "rawrrrrr!" "Chewie! I said activate the Hyperdrive!" What a great scene that was, when Chewie was supposed to do something, and Han Solo was all, hurry up, and chewbacca was like: "rawwwrrrrr!" man that was dope...

Chewievette Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Man, its like totally the end of the semester so I'm busting my ass trying to get all my class work done so if I have to put off my paint job for a little while then so be it. Not the end of the world you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewievette Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Class is over on tuesday, I might get some time to breath after that.. I'll post up as soon as something good happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ahem... I still have to do the white on the pass side, but I did manage to steal my friend's camera long enough to snap these pics. The red is acctually far more prominant in real life than these pics. I'm still not sure how much I like the hand cut 240z on the side. I'm probably going to try cleaning it up a bit next time I work on it. btw, I'm really liking the uniformity of this paint scheme... The whole orange car, green hood was really getting to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
