well, here it is, i obviously didnt take the subtle approach with mine, it was my 15th birthday present, it was 600 dollars with 170k miles on it, but it was maroon and rusting then, so repaired and painted it in my fathers shop, Kruidenier Kreations in Sunrise Beach MO.... right by Osage beach & the lake of the ozarks, anyway, yeah i masked, sanded, painted and airbrushed it myself, i did alot of working for my father to pay for the paint, but it beats 2 grand anyday!

tell me what you think, im repainting this summer and debating on keeping the same design or making a new one...

i would have just stuck with all one color rather than those accents...or that wing but thats just me. The pic is kinda blurry as well so i cant tell how well the paint job came out

Not really my style... but eh.

the paint is pretty proffesional, my father helped some, and supervised me and gave advice etc, and hes certified for this and has been doing it since bofore i was born, so its in no way "cheap" it was painted with proffesional tools and idk, the right way to paint a car, but its getting redone this summer, paint is chipping some places.... it was a learning experience, and im learning that skimping on the scuffing turns into paint chipping off later xD

as for my new paint job, i might take the two smaller tribalish peices away, and just leave the long red one, idk, i love it, but sometimes i wish it looked more "clean" more like a show car.... i have damaged the right front twice since this pic, first time i was driving behind my step sister on a highway going 60, down a hill, she slams on her brakes cuz sombody pulls out in front of her, her car has abs, mine doesnt, yeah..... take a guess. second..... i hit a tree this winter... haha stupid ice, damn housing community with no curbs and planting trees a foot from the road....i am getting a front clip from a junkyard, and im going to do a little frame section transplanting, so everything is streight again, right now the fenders and headlights are kinda tweaked to fit the messed up frame....

That sucks, and get rid of that spoiler.

Atleast now it's ugly without rust.

Aside from the things noted above already and from this distance, I guess you can say, the paint job looks good. I see reflections off the entire car that looks sharp. So, good job!
I would be interested in a clear pic and one a bit closer. I don't mean right on the car, but an average car pic with some detail.

Be nice.

Well.... I mean, I don't wanna rag on you because you take pride in the car, and are a crap load more literate than some of the other morons we get.

So, what is the point of the wing? It's a serious question, not trying to be a dick.

Apart from not being too hot on the styling, it does appear to be done well and to a professional standard.

IMO is does not really look all that bad. perhaps when you repaint it, tone it down some.

i live really close to you, how much would it cost get my car repainted...just curious.

Are you a ricer? lol

u live in MO, cool... idk, i think it would be around 2000-2500 for a solid color.... it would be my father painting it, so it would be the proffesional doing it xD


ad for u sebba, idk, i like the wing... i get **** for it all the time tho, when i get a body kit on it, im thinkin its coming off allong with the antenna and rear wiper, ill get a retractable antenna... i just didnt like stock and the wing was 30 bucks on ebay, so i bought it

u say theres alot of morons here xD how so, just no common sense?

no sebba im not a ricer, im sorry.


how much on a 2 color fade laser, i think i am going to dick around on photoshop after finals and see what it would loook like. i just like the fade on my drums.

something like this....

i dont really know, its pretty hard to fade large areas without looking blotchy... even with proffesionals, i have never seen a perfect fade, in a design its okay, but large, idk.... but u might be fine if you want blue and black, they are both pretty dark colors, i dont think it should raise the price too much, its more time in labor tho

lol dont get a body kit, loose the wing get a solid colored car

buy a CAI, buy a catback then buy gas...the 3 best improvements for your car

Hey as long as hes doing it the right way he can do whatever he wants to his ride hehe....
it looks like a pretty decent job for a begginer... ill just pull this up from the pile

sebba?? are you ok?? im not used to you being serious AND!! not trying to be a dick, lmao, wow, alot really has changed lol

oh, and the paint job itself looks good, but i also dont like the style

I go to osage beach like every other week to get the boat out on the lake :) i live about 20 minutes away from columbia missouri...bout 40 minutes from you. Paint looks good. Oh and check out www.missourimitsu.com (http://www.missourimitsu.com) sometime

for a beginner, dude, i think that's a fairly decent paint job. keep us posted for when you plan on re-painting it, i'm curious to see what you will do with it.

hey man i know you're new, but check out the date on this thread... it's been dead for a while
