HAHA, this is what I painted with...




Now I just need to get some nice 18's so people can see those calipers and polish my valve and manifold.. maybe dust too...

 

If I could only find a metallic blue color...

 

4 x 4 infiniti's are cool.. glad to see you finally got rims man, i am sure they have that color somewhere..

 

nice touch of color you need to do the wheel hubs as well to cover up all of the rust like I did

but good job anyway

 

push button 4WD comin next week

 

i cant wait to get some 18s to show off the calipers and pull in some trophies.

 

some cleaning of the engine bay would be nicer.

 

What kinda tint do you have there bro?

 

....best of all it was $3.00

$3 compared to $40 for the foilatec paint

 

thats exactly what I did except I used silver and I also painted the battery tie down brace thing and the bolts. I even painted the calipers without removing the tires

 

i used that paint the first time i did my calipers..

it turned to an ornage color in a bout 3 months..

hope you have better luck.

 

There is one... I used rustolium from home depot and got a very metallic blue which looks great...

thebigsadler: now you need to get some sandpaper and go to town and get ti all smooth and bling bling:

that's some nice bling... where did you get your oil cap and how much?

 

yeah ive been considering getting some wet sand and going to town on the valve to make it nice..

syc- yes the engine was really dirty, thanks for noticing..hah

phatguy- it's 35% Reflective Charcoal all around

nghting- yeah i love the fact that i did so much for $3.49

nismo- I am doing the tie down bracket next weekend along with some other random metal pieces in the engine and when i do the valve, how the hell did you do the calipers without taking the tires off?? paintbrush?? lol.

redmax- yeah i hope mine don't fade, if they do i take off the tires and paint em again, doesn't bother me at all.. thanks tho

theblue- whoa, the valve and manifold look real good, how long did it take you do them? And nathan's engine bay is amazing, you know how much his hoses were? the silver ones? and how long they take to install?

cumalot- so fresh and so clean, looks real good man.

 

i bought the universal red high temp spray paint and it works great.. hasn't faded... i am gonna go the calipers again after winter.. salt is gonn kill them..

 

wow... a lot of Qs

I spend 8 hours sanding / polishing. I don't know anything about Nathans goods

 

20% silver mirror completely illegal here in the golden state

 

your tint looks real good with the contrast of your car.. nice.

 

dude, do you have any more pics of your interior? I can't really see it well but in that sig pic it looks like you have a black dash with door panels with tan seats? Let me know! or email me.. thanks man.

 

I got the oil cap from Hogan. He had a group deal for it about a month ago. Btw, thanks.

 

there are a few pics here

It's the stock GLE interior.. i painted a bunch of stuff black, and i want to get suede inserts in my seats.

 

that looks great dude! What paint did you use on the glove box lid??? Any problems with chipping or scratches?

I'm really interested in this painting the dash idea.

 

ahh my the best color, if only your pics werent little red Xs

 

i used Duplex Vinyl paint, you can get it from any discount auto parts or car parts or anything.. pep boys.. i also used some sandpaper to scuff up the surface of it, once you paint it you cant go back so...

scuff it up, spray about 5 light coats 12-16 inches away.. get some less coarse sand paper and scuff it again, should NOT take the paint all the way off.. then put about 5-7 more coats of paint on.. and do like 2-3 coats of a Clear Coating.. this gives NO scratches.

i need to redo mine..
