all the door jams, the trunk jam, trunk lid, and under hood
will be done like this. the exterior will be something else.

under normal lighting, the graphics dont really show
the pictures are taken with a flash to bring them out
they'll also come out under direct sunlight.

i'll post more as we go along.

[Bbandit]

interesting paint job... i would like the see the finished product

[Dousan_PG]

what does it mean?

[KiDyNomiTe]

Hmm interesting, what does it say?

Kinda liked it better in white.

Post pics when its done.

[phrozen]

it would be funny if he didnt nkow what it meant... lol...

[WhiteNissanS13]

:tweak: hey, whatever floats your boat.

[Ghettokracker71]

can't wait to see it done! ....keep up the good work! What does it all mean?

[DRFT]

correction: it'll be funny if he just made up those characters

[cdigity]

its all random symbols for diff. things ie:
strength, power, swift, patience,
integrity, etc..

i can put up a complete list if people really
wanna know.

the exterior of the car will be totally different graphics

the lettering will only be in the door jams, under the hood
trunk jam, trunk lid.

the graphics really only show under direct light
for the most part, the car will look black

[SilviaDriver]

dont like it

[YoungRookie]

^^^^^^^I second that^^^^^^^

[SilviaBoston]

I think it looks coo...i cant wait to see what it looks like :)...it kinda makes me wish i'm not just painting my car jet black. Its nice to have something different out there, keep up the good work

[mike13]

those symbols probably mean gay, short-penis, loves small boys etc.

how did you know i was dedicating my car to you??
i guess the surprise is up!!

stupid people should just die.

[s14xman]

i think it looks ugly, reminds me of those ugly Alpine cars (civic SI and RSX). Is that were you got the idea? As long as you like it.

[cdigity]

the rest of the car is gonna be totally different
that is just whats gonna be in the jams and under hood and trunk
the alpine cars were no source of influence.

[s14xman]

Well if thats the case i guess it will look hot once its all done.

[clean]

is it a show car? thats a diff. idea and will probally work for a show car, but nothing i would really want. what kind of kit did you get? show some more pics of the rest of the car.

its actually gonna be a fully functional , driveable car

so there will be both looks and performance
and yes, i do drive the car daily!

[DuffMan]

Hmmm, kudos for originality.

[element240]

^werd.. i think it looks unique and pretty damn good!
the way you describe it sounds good ,where it's mostly dark until under direct light etc.
post pics when you're done!

[Salty_X]

Hmmm, kudos for originality.
Ditto.

I kind of liked better it in the white/urban camo look, but the blue is cool too. Very creative idea. :bow:

[nismo skyline]

different for sure, dont like the graphics much, but the cobalt blue is hotness

[HyperTek]

hey he has a nice engine, so he can do whatever the @$#^ he wants!! haha.

I dont know what language that is, but is it chinese or japanese characters?

[FRpilot]

:tweak: hey, whatever floats your boat.

:werd: i dont see the point? aren't those characters goign to be convered up anyways? but do whatever. its your car. not like its on the outside showing, but why's it there? :-/

[HyperTek]

the confidence that he has all that "inside" his car.. ahahah I dunno

[phrozen]

he gets strength, power, swift, patience,integrity from those symbols. maybe if he puts the word drift in there it might help out his skill

[cdigity]

there will also be graphics on the outside
just a different style
the lettering is only in the jams,hood,trunk lid

[turbod240]

cdigity, that is going to be one nice 240 when your done. Not many people even paint their jams of their car regularily they just leave it the color it was. Most people probably dont realize all the time you spent to custom paint just the jams of your car. It will definitely set your car off from other show cars. I cant wait to see your car when its finished. Good choice on paint, i wouldnt paint with anything other than House of Kolor. Anyways good luck on the pant job.

[aznpoopy]

I dont know what language that is, but is it chinese or japanese characters?

straight up i would say it's chinese...i don't see any hiragana. but it could also be japanese, as japanese kanji characters are chinese characters. the only way to tell is if you see a chinese character there that doesn't exist in the japaense kanji.

[-E-]

What are you going to use as a basecoat

[russian]

is this what inspired your work? cause looks like it did. :coold:

honestly i coudnt do that kinda paint job, i would freak out on every ding or scratch :loco: but it looks nice nonetheless.

[hybrid_eg]

hmm whats with that yellow red s13.. looks like it got airbags in the rear.. nasty... i kinda prefer it plain and simple, with an insane powerband :)

[cdigity]

What are you going to use as a basecoat
the base coat is house of kolors black

[JKim0901]

looks interesting....i like the fact that you can only see it if you open the doors and stuff...love to see it when its finished

[wanganwonder]

thank you for not caring what jerkoffs think. at least you're not doing it because someone else says it's cool (ahem sr20). i bet almost nobody has seen anything like this before, so props for the idea. even if it comes out looking like shit, then hey, at least you were the first. so if someone takes the idea and it looks better you still own them. speaking of fresh ideas, anybody using ITB's on their KA?

[sykikchimp]

Props for the originality and the Turbo POWA~!

[SR_TeXaN]

A+ for originality
Its artistic
Its also a waste of money....lol (Cept if it was a show car)

[cdigity]

here are more updated pics of paint.
**keep in mind that these are taken under direct
lighting and with camera flash, so that the underlying
graphics come out. under normal lighting, the color
is a deep cobalt blue and graphics could barely be seen

its not supposed to be fluid writing
its random symbols for random phrases and words.
and its japanese scroll
look at half the shit japanese people write in english
and put on t-shirts and wear!
the translations are horrible.
anyway its part of my paint job and i just wanted to show people.
thanks for your useful input.
