Almost Ready For Paint, Need Your Help
Monday, April 04, 2005 10:26 AM
I am almost ready to pull my car into the booth. Im just slightly undecided on the paint right now. Thats where you guys come in. I would do it myself, but i dont have time anymore. I am on the computer maybe 20 minutes every-other day now. Here's what i need, and what will be done before paint.

Shaved gas door
Molded Kit
Shaved Antenna
Fix sag in rear bumper (dont know how that could be done on the comp)
cut out the hood insert and put mesh in it.

Heres the paint schemes that i need (you can also throw out your own ideas)

Atlantic Blue (Newer Mustang Cobra Color)
Atlantic Blue with Ghost Flames (What im leaning towards As of now)
Midnight Blue

I would make this a contest and pay whoever's paint scheme i ended up choosing, but i am so broke right now from buying the rest of my kit and having to save for paint. Thanks for anyone who gives this a shot.


If you want a different angle let me know. I just ran outside and snapped that one real quick.

i could give a try, what do you mean by shaved gas door? i don't really know anything about "shaved" stuff on cars. but i do know how to photoshop. also if you could post a pic with one of the blues you're interested in, that would help.





I'm making the back of my car look good first.
After all, Civics need something nice to look at...

^^ its when you relocate the gas line to the trunk or some other place leaving your fenders clean and smooth... it gets rid of the gas door and its covered with sheetmetal i think... not sure on the process of it but i do know it looks tits when its done


Check out my build thread!

Thats right, basically like what i did with my door handles.

I'll look for the color blue and post it for you.

Thats the blue i am going with.

I know its a ford color, but damn it looks good.

I dont know how good you are with photoshop, but if you cant get the ghost flames then dont worry about it, i have been doing photoshop on and off for about a year now and have no idea on how you could create that effect. I just mainly want to see what the car will look like with the kit molded and the car painted that blue.

Also, i just realized that the gas door isn't even pictured in that picture so you dont have to mess with that. Thanks for giving this a shot.

Okay, for the record, it's really hard to make primer glossy looking
