THAT SHIT LOOKS HOT!!!!

are you doing the Y33 as well like that?

widegts
01-18-2008, 06:25 AM
trim piece = nope, if i was going to take the panels off, which isnt hard, just like the gs300's, then matching the flake would be a bit difficult.

My main concern with this project is to make the flake distribution even. So tomorrow or whenever grant gets a chance to upload pics here, WHICH I KNOW HE WILL (HE is playing rockband right now haha).

Plus I know how to make well, not to sound conceited, enough where once the tape is off, you cant tell.

wetsand buff = yes sir, cant wait to show japan what idesigns can do haha.

Painting with no mask is like skiing naked.


Feels great until the consequences.

And clearcoat tastes bad.

yokotas13
01-18-2008, 03:53 PM
he normally wears this big ass gas mask respirator, i guess since hes in a booth rather than somewhere else, he doesnt feel the needto wear it lol

Great day today! New definition to "Flakes." My friends and I called this kid at our school "Flakes" cause he had the craziest dandruff 24/7. It always looked like it was snowing on top of his head. Whenever I'd hear the word, it'd remind me of the dandruff champion. Now? Grant's Celsior. Pure sex.

just got back masking the crap out of grants car... tired as hell... pics soon

--

as for the mask = ya i wear it a lot now a days, but during the spraying of that car, the mask i brought didnt work well, so i had no choice. I have a rep to keep in painting, so its a big learning experience... try out the new mask before i spray, to make sure it fits and works well while shooting...

glad that everyone is liking the pink! means a lot, keeps me going...!

light spots on the roof = that i cannot fix right now, i made sure i showed you, which i am not ashamed to say I did have to rush the car.

white in the door jams = you said it wasnt a big deal as for the left rear, and it wasnt that big of a problem since no one really sees that area.

white on the hood = i am going to touch up tonight

as for redoing certain things when i get back= you said it was all good, i talked to you, and you said its all good.

So im not trying to be hard, but we talked, at the paint booth, where you stated its ok, ill be coming back anyways. At the bx while we were looking for the skype thing, you said its ok, since we will be redoing the car for the widebody when i get back...

I WILL BE BACK IN 6MONTHS, and whole zilvia will know, to ..

Let's get this Thread back on topic:
The painting of Grant's cars in a nice shade of black. Then cluttering it up with a bunch of gaudy Pink Frosted Flakes.
