Oxidized/flaking/peeling/dull/scratchy paint is always better than rattlecan primer


it must stop now

[SoSideways]

I agree LOL

Oh wait you probably posted that after you saw my post...

[TKfoshori]

LOL thats true, mines that way, but the guy before me did it, now i gotta spend moula to make it look ok again. i hate life!

[McRussellPants]

Nah dude, Primer is DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTT in japanese.

[punxva]

unless your barry, then its totally pimp

[IMPerfection]

How about: They both look like shit, and everyone on Zilvia is poor.

[ThatGuy]

unless your barry, then its totally pimp

But mine's not primer, it's just Matte paint. I also don't try to act like it's the hottest shit on earth. Truthfully, I don't like how it looks. I'd love to have a real paintjob. But I have higher priorities than my car.

But then again, I don't think lilredstiffy was referring to me. If he was, oh well. That's his opinion, and I just happen to agree with it.

amen to that! holding it down for people with matte paint that actually do stuff with their cars...

[bardabe]

Ha ha I got real paint ;)

[mrmephistopheles]

Dang, I was going to buy a new STi or something and rattlecan it flat black.

[sultan]

flat black ftw

wait, no. that shit's retarded.

[usdm180sx]

Damn. That CLS looks okay in an eff'ed up kind of way. It's not something that I would EVER do to a $100K car though.

[Ricks15]

Primer is extra HP:D

wow.....i think this is where i make a comment like " omg i just nutted my pants"

[thejapino]

there is a BIG difference between 'primer' and 'flat black'. most poeple just spray their cars with primer and it looks shiitty.

[thejapino]

wait up, thatguy, i just looked at your picgallery and it looks like your paint is glossy. has it been resprayed?

[ALTRNTV]

^
I think the pic your talking about was when his car was wet.

[chmercer]

wow.....i think this is where i make a comment like " omg i just nutted my pants"

why would any sane person want to roll like that when you could make the same car easily look like this

No... No there is not. they both eat cheese.

[usdm180sx]

No... No there is not. they both eat cheese.

Yeah you're right. Your shit's ghetto ass too. It's not even primered. It's multi colored crap. viceroy sucks.

[projectRDM]

Speak for yourself.

Everyone on Zilvia is NOT poor, it's just that the majority who are considered poor are ignorant fucks who spend their money on other things and cut corners on everything else, hoping their parents will buy that SR they've jacked off to in class all day. They think that primer looks cool because it represents a 'work in progress', like they actually can aspire to the big plans in their heads even though it's a pipedream and will never happen. These are the same kids who buy Sprint springs to run on OE shocks and steel wheels, and then drive around like fools on 17yr old bushings and brake pads. And in that case, not only does their car look like shit, it makes the whole community look like shit, because we appear to be the very thing we're complaining about, a bunch of assinine kids driving around in cars too damn dangerous to be roadworthy that are putting out double the power they had when new.

If you can't afford to paint it, leave it alone. If you buy an aerokit or new bumper, don't put it on until you can paint it. If you wreck it, fix it and then learn how to drive to prevent wrecking it again. If you do, buy a bus ticket, we're all safer without you on the road anyway.

[soreballz]

Yeah you're right. Your shit's ghetto ass too. It's not even primered. It's multi colored crap. viceroy sucks.
Oh schnap, Norm. Them's fightin' words!

I'm gonna have small patches of black primer soon. I have to fix the rust asap, but I can't afford to have the whole car resprayed yet. That leaves me with three options:
1 - Several small patches of primer around my sunroof and passenger side quarter window.
2 - Primer the whole car.
3 - Paint only the roof flat black.

Eh. Doesn't matter, really. As far as I'm concerned, any of those is gonna look better than rust. lol

[chmercer]

Yeah you're right. Your shit's ghetto ass too. It's not even primered. It's multi colored crap. viceroy sucks.

could you possibly try to suck me off any harder. no you cant be in viceroy. im SORRY.

russells car is painted, you know like, with automotive paint. i dunno, maybe you are flossing around with the "paint roller" paint job or whatever the new cool trend among retarded people is.

just spray it with some rustoleum that is close to the color of your car. at least it would be a 50 footer instead of busted from 500 yards.

i dunno why everyone defaults to primer. if you are actually going to use it to prime somthing on a car, as in you cant afford legit car primer for a paint job, then your shit is more ghetto than i can imagine.

[ispypsi]

Blame Dave Coleman and the flat blacked "project silvia". only the same 'tards who bought $1200 disco potato turboes so they could get that uber sweet 275hp would fall into the same trap of "a flat black car is badass y0".


i feel this thread was directed at most of the florida kiddies :gay: hahaha. that's the common scene around here.

1. buy busted s13.
2. rattlecan flat black, or gray. be sure to tiger stripe the fuck out of it.
3. weld diff.
4. hand-me-down tein s.tech/blown agx combo
5. beat the fuck out of it.

total cost = $50? lol

flat black and rattlecan flat black are 2 totally different things. i can count on my one hand the amount of cars in general that ive seen rattlecanned that actually would be mistaken for at least a maaco $150 special job.

i guess i dont understand either, how people cant wait for their kit to be on or this or that. all about being seen i guess, but id rather be seen without new stuffs than be seen with ghetto new stuffs. thats the worst.

also, not sure if true, but ive been told that if u rattle can a car (maybe not counting rattle primer), its hard as crap to strip it off when doin a real paint job and just creates more work. not sure if thats true but then again, 99% of people who rattlecan their car dont ever make it to real paint...besides fixing "battle scars" with bandaids, zipties, and a few quick passes of the can heals all right? :roll:

and by "battle scars", i mean asshats who roll off cliffs and clip trees and curbs on a weekly basis. anyone who has a rattled canned car and actually tracks it and beats it up, i'll tip my hat to you. and people who use primer towards fixing their car is ok, as long as you're not passing it off as a fix for your poor fender roll on your stock +40 wheels, and actually get paint within a certain time period afterwards.

ps - "Russ Rant" FTW!

[!Zar!]

Primer isn't a color.

So unless your whole car is bare metal. Stop it.

Only people who rock primer are water drinkers that fail at life.

[kenversusryu]

i vote this thread really pointless.

[Replicant_S14]

...I rather see primer than body panels that are six different colors. Calico is for rustangs and cats fools.

[lilredstiffy]

If you have a body panel that is a different color because a suburban tapped you, or you hit a trailer, or a barrel, etc, fine who cares about that.

If you inherit a 240sx from grandpa or grandma, with perfectly fine paint, maybe some bird poop and a ding or two on the door, for the love of god stop shittily masking the car and painting the car primer. Another horrible one is buying a body kit, and instead of painting the bumpers & skirts to match the car, you just paint everything primer.

it looks like shit. its not cool

every single buildup thread with someone 'new' to the community has their car rattle can primered. someone told them its a good idea. im just saying its a bad. real bad. like doing your mom and grandma doggystyle in the same night bad

[McRussellPants]

Yeah you're right. Your shit's ghetto ass too. It's not even primered. It's multi colored crap. viceroy sucks.


lol at you frowning at the 8 month old pictures on the Viceroy page.

[LB.Motoring]

lol at usdmsilvia, becouse both his chassis, have clean paint?

[IMPerfection]

lol at this thread... only zilvia :)

Let the primer kids do what they want, it makes my poor fucked up car look better. Same story for the patchwork quilt motherfuckers. It's their goddamn car, and if they wanna look all fucking clown shoes then they can do so.

EDIT: Oh, and R240NA.... what?! The community's image? To everyone else not in the scene, we're just a bunch more fucktard riceboys dumping thousands of dollars into worthless generic 90's asian cars.
Seriously, as much as I agree with every word you said, it's not worth getting worked up over because our image is not gonna change. Every dollar I spent on my car in the first 9 months of owning it was replacing shitty old stock parts, from my brake pads to my suspension bushings, from my subframe bushing collars to my exhaust manifold gasket, ad infinitum. Only now, after having owned it for nearly a year (though to be fair, I had to leave it at home while I was away at school last spring/summer), have I saved enough cash to start doing real modifications... and then right fucking after I buy my coilovers and differential, some shithead pulls a hit and run on my car while I'm in class, so now I have no money to fix that, and I can't claim on my insurance because insurance is lame. I paid more than average to get a unblemished virgin car from its original owner (a 45-year old lady) so I'd have a clean slate to start from, and now my rear fender and bumper are fucked up. And no, I haven't primered any of the damage. Anyhow, this got really long-- What I'm trying to get at is, all I can control is what I do with my car, so that's all that I should concern myself with... and at least I know I'm doing that the right way, to the best of my limited knowledge and ability.

[NemeGuero]

my OEM front bumper is primer 'cuz it looks better flat black than purple with a white lip on my black car.

[articdragon192]

lol at usdmsilvia, becouse both his chassis, have clean paint?

Yes they do, lol.

[tacotacotaco]

lol at usdmsilvia, becouse both his chassis, have clean paint?

Damn usdmsilvia and his super clean crap.

[koukikat180sx]

i painted my car and people think its a show car. :(

[articdragon192]

Damn usdmsilvia and his super clean crap.

Yah, I know, the one upper x10

[drftwerks]

i think it applies to ALL cars not jsut 240's, i have respect for honda's althought i have never owned one, it still jsut hurts me to see for example a cean CRX get fucking primered, it irratates me so much, i jsut kinda wanna punch them in the face, haha

[docrice]

I like to apply NASA's 50:50 rule for a car's appearance: if 50% (half, as in one side) of the car looks good from 50 feet away, then its all gravy...

[MELLO*SOS]

Ran across this article (http://news.windingroad.com/auto-news/sema-flatness-would-be-great-for-production/) earlier and it reminded me of this thread...

[articdragon192]

At Hollywood on Holloween, there was a flat black Elise. It looked hot.

[ThatGuy]

That 1973 Camaro with the Olive Drab looks awesome. Once again, there is a difference between Primer and Matte Paint. :bow: Thanks mello!!

[articdragon192]

Once again, there is a difference between Primer and Matte Paint.

QFT. There's a reason primer is covered up with actual paint, lol.

[blackflag_Rms13]

Yeah there's a big difference from the paint on those pictures you posted than rattlecan/primer/whateverthisthread is about...

[infinitexsound]

http://www.goodspeedmotoring.com/images/39063.jpg
all u cheap asses should try that out...

or learn how to paint...

[SimpleS14]

As said before...there is a difference between primer and matte paint (like the cars posted above). Primer just looks nasty after a day of exposure to the elements.

I'm fine with my roller paint job....now I can vest my money in other aspects of the car (once I finish school).

[blu808]

Who Cares

[worangejuice]

Yo that black convertible is some hot shit! It goes to show that the 'flat' look belongs on old 'hot rod' types. Just throw a bed cover on it and you're set.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Semi-flat black paint rocks....

[unwed_transient]

matte is for classics with ghost pinstriping.

primer in a spray can is for fuck-tards.

i'm with viceroy on this one.

[blackflag_Rms13]

Ray, I remember seeing your car back when it was that satin/matte black. It looked pretty good, it matched the finish on those FN's pretty well... That was a rattlecan job no?

[kawika219]

my car is rattle can because i crashed it drifting and id rather have a car thats rattle can than a car with 23453453458734502834752349gazillion colors. Hawaii also has a HIGH cost of living. id rather see a guy with a beater KILLING it on the track rather than a pretty car that the driver cant drive...
