Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 03/29/04 02:37 AM
Theft recovery car salvage titled and legalized. The interior picture of the stripped dash is from a parts car I tore apart. My car is getting there I got a new hood for it, so thats straight now. UIM and LIM are coming off for cleaning. Front end is being molded right now and hopefully in a few months it goes off to paint....
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 03/29/04 02:41 AM
Its looking (and sounding) better everyday. A lot of work has been put into that car, with a lot more on the way.
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 03/29/04 04:44 AM
i like the look of the black trunk and hood on a silver car. maybe leave it that way and paint the roof black too. 
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 03/29/04 05:25 AM
i have an integra in my garage that looks just like that
....but anyways....that will be a nice contour...keep working

Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 03/30/04 12:23 AM
it's all one piece...be very careful when you do this. Don't yank or tug on the dash. Make sure every single nut and bolt is out.

I'm actually debating a 2 tone black on silver paint job. I've seen it done ona cougar and it looks killer. I haven't seen any tours like that so it sounds better to me.

Never end the paint colors where different body part meet. You will either look like you just got lucky and snagged same color parts from the junk yard or you're a cheap taxi.

Here's a hint: Don't.
The white on silver is a little more subtle and it'll be more difficult to tell from far away. You won't look like an incomplete project either, with two very contrasting colors as black and silver.

the black and silver is sweet. add a few accent pieces like black headlights and grill ring, and vuala!
you guys are going to make me buy an svt and prove it to you, you know that right.
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 03/30/04 06:18 AM

This is coming from a guy who proudly boasts in his signature that he owns a korean minivan.
Black and Silver two tone is the sh!t!

Now I don't like this bodykit, nor does the current owner. he changed everything, but here is a classic example of a sweet two tone paint job. Add pearl to the silver and the black, and you have one hell of a sweet ride.

mikey boy, I think there is a little bit of confusion. I did not chop what you were talking about. I chopped what the owner of the car wanted. Very big difference. I used the hard edge that runs down the body of the car as the color change point, you used the seams of the hood, trunk and roof. Am I right? Don't worry, I still like you.

Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/01/04 06:49 AM
Here's a couple ideas.
1. How about large flake metallic, black on the bottom and silver on top.
2. Clear coat with satin clear. Technique recently shown in europe on a concept car.
Oil cooler cut outs in the bumber mould.
What a huge project.

Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/01/04 10:27 AM
Car is gonna probably be 2 tone black on silver. Front bumper is being molded with a Mirko splitter. Pearlcoat over it all..what type/color I don't know yet...

Here is my opinion on this.. Pearl Coats can make some of the sweetest paint ever. BUT, I would stay away from red for instance because there will be small areas outside of the main hue that look pink in certain sunlight. This will be the same with blue and light blue.
Being an orange freak myself I would say orange, but For a nice classic clean look maybe just a regular white pearl in the white and maybe a dark shadow gray in the black. MMMMmm that would look nice.

Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/02/04 05:09 PM
I think your wheel choice should be considered when choosing black on the bottom or top
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/02/04 06:03 PM
I agree. Show me a silver SVT contour with this ST200(?) wheels and I can chop that as well.

Go back to the first post...those are ST200's
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/02/04 10:36 PM
So true, but I am not about to chop body panels and such.
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/02/04 11:09 PM
sorry I don't have any pics with the front bumper on...and I can't host pics...double sorry 
Re: Thinkmotos Work In Progress (GC's & Konis On) - 04/02/04 11:44 PM
Wow that car looks familiar....just something different. I cant quite put my finger on it
I love the scheme, and seeing it on my car makes me want to do it!

Re: And finally the two tone rolling on ST220s - 04/03/04 10:36 AM

But now I'm torn between this and the other one you did with the black on the bottom
I don't know which way to go. I might be getting 18's too soon I still have some time before paint. I'll talk to the painter and get his input on colors etc. Thanks for the chops exceelent work
