Before paint pics of my beater...
Wednesday, May 10, 2006 12:58 PM
Well car is kinda rough but its getting there. i paint at a body shop and i have not really cared much about the car till recently. so i am about to spray a fresh coat of pearl white paint and paint the wheels white also.

I made the flares about two years ago and this is how she sits as of now. Time for body work she is desperate need of it, and some new trim.

in need of wheel spacers....










And heres my crappy paint work from another customer car.

I dont like the lines in the flares, thats above the edge of the flares.. If you take those lines away, it would look much cleaner and smoother.. JMO though. Other than that, it looks good.

yea wheels are pretty far in there...

jk

you should paint the wheels black, not white. black wheels on a white car with black tint looks freakin hot...especially if you were to throw on a carbon fiber hood too.

flares like that look bad IMO, on top of that, the lines as mentioned above ruin it all together, and u were right about the crappy paint on the neon.. what is that? primer faded to flat blue with some crapy tape job on the flames? sorry bro... posting pics gets everyones opinions, unfortunately, mine isnt a good one....


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

sweet ride, I'm not feeling the rear bumper that much though. wheels look good and nice wide flares.

Oh btw the flares are actually extreme GT widebody flares then i custom made the flares wider.

i would sand down the lines of the flares so they look like they're one with the fenders instead of simply attached and molded. i also dont like the way the spoiler mounting spots follow a different line then the edge of the trunk.

heres a pic of the neon pics are bad but to show its shiny the reason the white looks primer is cause of all the blue pearl. but if theres some haters no biggie. it pays the bills

I actually am diggin the flames on the neon! I think it looks cool, and just cause they arent the typical "hot rod" flames doesnt mean jack, good work on both rides man!

i think the flares are dope, maybe round the edges though, so it doesent look like its a sharp edge.

i also dig the flame job on the neon!

big daddy hit the nail on the head with what im saying for the most part, ok the pearl/bluea/white/ whatever MIGHT be sprayed fine, overlooking the random dark spots where it looks like u tried to do some fancy shading, and it came out looking like u did it with a rattle can that had paint dried in the tip.... BUT as for the taping of the actual flames themselves.. they all lean to the drives side and they are just plain crappy sorry


On the other hand....you have other fingers.
