OlderThanMe Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I know veritech has done some urban, post-apocolyptic sort of designs so I figured I'd see what ideas other people had. I'll photocopy some of my Z sketches and do some schemes on them. This one is not for the retardo body kit...just the paint scheme... I like this scheme too... I had a similar idea a while back in one of my sketch threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'd like the paint on that CRX a lot more if it were a real car (it's definitely cool), although it would look pretty rediculous with all those goofy scoops...so are we doing drawings, or just digging up existing paint? I'll sit this one out for a bit until some more people post up, that way it doesn't turn into another me and you sausage party i guess...

veritech-z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Anybody notice how many new drag cars and magazine features are coming out with camo, by the way? I saw a bunch of SEMA pics with camo too...talk about being ahead of the curve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 see... I am getting fed up with all of this expensive junk on my car so I want to do something cheap and scary looking...Not that it isn't already scary but I want cool and scary. I just put up ideas but I'll get a sketch done up tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 What happened to super polished and shiny? Ready to come over to the dark side already? I got the vibe from your first post my ideas were old news, want any new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 definitely... I just need something to inspire me since I have been sort of down about having to withdraw from college (the broken jaw) and I have no money. My car is sitting outside while my engine is laid out in my half of the garage. BTW I just discovered that my clutch is not the right one... SPEC sent me a 240mm flywheel and a 225mm clutch...Both already have 700 miles on them...that was another bummer when I looked at the disc sitting on the flywheel... That was not very encouraging to see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 So what we're really up to is trying to paint YOUR car finally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 yeah...I like the urban/ex-military/patina look and have been looking at rat rods and volksrods (hot rodded VWs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 If my design gets chosen, is my screen name or logo going to be on your car somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 yes...on the rear pan area below the tag... that goes for anyone's idea that I use...I may do a mix and match and if I use part of your idea you will get a small name on my car... Most likely I'll use screen names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Flush Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 "Veritech" would auctually look kinda cool on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninjiro Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 speaking of urban paint jobs, i want to integrate somthing from the shadow fighters from robotech. i dont really know it has been awhile, hazy i gotta go watch the collection again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 In case you guys were wondering where the screen name came from, here is the original paint scheme from the ZZZap: getting an R200 swap and here are the wheels I had on it before I sold them to BradMan-Q45: still getting an R200, check the cool white stripes going up into the roofline: those red flares in the bottom left are from an 83 Celica Supra. they looked pretty cool when I held them up to the car, but I decided not to use them (since I only had one side's worth and couldn't find the other two)...

Lunar240z Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 1. bare metal clearcoated. 2. copper paint and let it patina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I wanted to rivet thin aluminum sheet down in sections all over the car and polish it like WWII airplanes, but I didn't want to worry about what that would do to the original metal, and it would probably leak like the dickens...

Sparks280zt Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Something like this veritech? http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dbig%2Brig%26fr%3Dyfp-t-427%26toggle%3D1%26cop%3Dmss%26ei%3DUTF-8&w=800&h=600&imgurl=image53.webshots.com%2F53%2F5%2F15%2F99%2F2128515990054470419ZLlGgB_ph.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Frides.webshots.com%2Fphoto%2F2128515990054470419ZLlGgB&size=97.6kB&name=2128515990054470419ZLlGgB_ph.jpg&p=big+rig&type=jpeg&no=8&tt=26,013&oid=027faae2b60e4eb0&ei=UTF-8&src=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallicar Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Diamond Plate Aluminum on the rockers and lower fenders, the rest Olive Drab. Screen stone guards on the lights. Safari style. Black out trim and wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8dats Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 i have always tinkered with the idea of outlining every panel with rivets and paint the car like a jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
