Car is primed!!!! pics

[K11_Dave]

Still not decided on colour yet, so given the good weather thought i'd prime it anyhow.

But to be honest, I am quite liking the colour of the filler/primer!!

Am going for a light colour again - hopefully not too far away from the white it used to be. Nothing to do with the fact that i'm too lazy to do a proper job inside the doors, engine bay and boot :laugh:

GT4 micra!! would need to sort the engine to back it up then tho :blush:

 

[Glenn]

is looking very nice..will look excellent when painted!

i really like that rear bumper..

 

[RIK]

i c wot ya mean with the inside doors etc,,,ide be the same and it wont look daft either if ya do it that way,,whites cool anyway

 

[K10Daz]

I actually like the colour of the primer lol i think its quite smart, if that was a nice shine on it i think it wud be pretty neat!

 

[quickdraw]

go for a very light colour mate as it will not show up the ripples etc that all cars have when they have had work done to them!!

lighter colours hide this better

 

[micra man]

Looking great mate!!! Yeah I agree go for a lighter colour. Possibly a nice light blue or something, could look kool.

 

[JayY]

looks good but the only that llooks weird is the back number plate, if youve smooth the rest, why have it there?

 

[SR_Micra_Boy]

[quickdraw]

speak to G regarding those wingmirrors!!!

the light blue one is well nice, i also couldnt understand the logic in smoothing the boot then leaving the plate there but hey its your car. i think you have already explained why to me. That back bumper work is well nice, shows what you can do with a l;ittle effort and imagination

 

[Titch]

I think that you should go for the 350z yellow, as that is stunning.

quite a cool looking ps there. I never realised that the front of the nme had that bit missing for the tow bar thing, think it rather spoils the front end - do u know where you can get those arches from and are they the same as the ones Gav had?

 

[goldstar0011]

Hey bud, you masked the drive right?

From the look of the second pic you missed.

That stuff goes everywhere!

over spray is a killer. best to combat it is to soak the floor prior to spraying
tip for ya at later date

stop the over spray sticking to the floor

 

[hughes_16v]

lookin good, i still say would look good yellow! oh and where did u get the bumpers from? look good!

 

[G_Man]

only have one major issue

speak to G regarding those wingmirrors!!!

yesh, think it may jus be mine tho wayne

car looks good, i would say go for a brightish yelow colour, maybe with a carbon bonnet mmmm

RE: RE: Car is primed!!!! pics

front bumper was from a scrapped SR with new shaped clio splitter, rear bumper is original, with a bit of Fiesta

Definitely remember that one for next time - coming from much experience aswell there!! Will certainly keep in mind about the lighter coloured paints and un-eveness!

i also couldnt understand the logic in smoothing the boot then leaving the plate there

Re-locating the plate - although it looks well smart, don't get me wrong - did cross my mind, but how many like that do you see vs how many you see with a back - lit reg?

speak to G regarding those wingmirrors!!!

What's up with the mirrors? I knew G had same ones on his red K11. Had issues with the LEDs so took 'em out - repositioning in progress and bugger to get hold of replacement glass, but was there something else?

 

[micra man]

Basically on his the baseplates prevent him from seeing pretty much anything from the standard driving position lol. If the baseplates are done right there should be no problem with this though. Still think the light blue would look sweet.

Haha, yep, i'll agree with that one!! Was more interested in getting the baseplates looking right :laugh: Whoever next puts a set on, i'd recommend getting a mate to hold them in place while you're in the car and pencil around them when you can see something - cos i've seen a dead elephant move more than those mirrors will

 

[micra man]

Lol, yeah they may look nice, but they are pretty darn useless lol!!!

 

[quickdraw]

yes especially when the angle they are set to dont actually allow you to be able to actually see out the car

mike my lady said your car looks like a corsa

 

[K11_Dave]

Quicky, can you hop on MSN a sec? want to ask you about a certain paint

i agree... maybe a square plate to left side of bumper... the back plate need lights for mot pass!!! as i found out after i flush my boot...

most peeps have said gt4 yellow... i think yes if you are up for something special.. if not(budget)... go for white... white is always an eyecatcher when clean in summer or winter... lovely...

 

[Ben]

It was white and if your gonna respray, why go the same colour?? go for a real head turner colour, MG blue

 

[quickdraw]

or i can respray it foir you in a nice blue rage or summit

 

[Ian]

there is a point to repraying the same colour though because there is no uneven fade and it looks fresh.... amanda says shes gonna get it sprayed (again) since her monthly wage packet nearly doubled

Ian

 

[RIK]

mine nearly had a full respray the same colour ,apart from the bonnet and front bumper

 

[quickdraw]

there is a BIG reason to spray the same colour.

1 all the interior stays the same.
everything exterior is then the same colour.
and especially white. makes the car look fresh as can be. and a refreshed resprayed white car. look extremely nice
