there has been no more progress since the last pics a few posts back. My friend/painter was being a complete dickhead about the whole situation so i took it out of his shop before the last 2 coats of color were shot and the clear was added. Its back at my shop now. Im going to get our body man there to shoot it. Im hoping he'll have time next week but i dont know. Ill let you guys know what happens.

OK so here is my poor mr2 sitting in our paint booth, waiting for me to finish the paint job. I finished working the flaws out of all the body parts that were taken off the car. I need to do a little more sanding on the hood, and it should be ready for me to go ahead and finish up. Oh and i fixed the front bumper up nicely.

more pics to come. And sorry about the crappy pics it does no justice for the color.

oh and you can see our subaru powered buggy in the back there, its almost finished. just a few more small things. It already runs, and quite nicely.

you're gonna need some pimp ass wheels to go with that body

nice mr2

That's a LOT of work and $ right there.
The GT3076 is a fat turbo too.
I'm glad you're cleaning her up, the new look will be more professional.

Yeah, i couldnt stand all the little flaws in it b4. I cant understand why the guy put so much effort into custom fabbing everything, but left out the extra 10% of effort to make it perfect. He had fish eye in the paint, you could see the lines from were he molded the side moldings, the engine lid wasnt done properly, and the color was too dark to mention a few problems. Hopefully when im finished with her it will be a jaw dropper.

Get with the other 2's on that. I'd like to check your ride out as well. Good job!

Here is what ive gotten done after i took it out of my painters shop because he was being a dick about everything. Ive painted all the body parts now. Everything turned out good excpet the front bumper and the trunk lid. They were the first big pieces i did, and my spraying was horrible to say the least. But i sanded them down and theyre getting 2 more coats of color anyways so its not the end of the world. Everything else is perfect. Sanded most of the orange peel out of these first 2 color coats. Im going to apply 2 more coats to everything and then sand that and then the clear goes on. Then its wet sand and buff time. The spoiler had turned out amazing as well, but hahahahahah, i was checking it out in the sunlight and dropped it. The paint got All kinds of messed up and now i have to sand it down and redo it. I test fitted everything today on the front. Its looking good. The bumper fits PERFECT. Im going to need to adjust the hood a bit though. I just set the headlight covers up there. Here are the pics. And dont say anything about the bumper, as i already know that its no bueno.

I like the look, but i wish i was able to remove them without chopping shit up at the same time.

spooled_civic · 08-14-2008, 02:59 PM

Wow.. Lots of work looks good though

HellStorm · 08-15-2008, 01:12 AM

nice.. keep up the good work

HellStorm · 09-03-2008, 07:38 PM

Update:

Ok so i have officially completed all of the color coats on everything. Just did the body today. It all turned out great too. Im impressed considering just 2 months ago i knew nothing about actual painting. Im going to start clear coating the small stuff next week. Hopefully i get in enough practice before i clear the body. Im keeping my fingers crossed that it turns out good. After that, ill be learning how to buff/polish. Sorry this thing is taking so long, but i like to learn and do things right, and i cant do that by rushing things. Pics to come!
