Is your car orange?

Or is it just the lighting?

Lighting... Halogens REALLY bring out the orange. It's V/R

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I didn't want to half ass anything so I did it the right way (Well, as much as I could! Only reason I didn't do the whole car is because the idiot that owned it before me did the whole car and didn't do the engine bay... So now it's all pretty new. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR Wish I could afford a full titanium grey paint job... Oh well. Maybe next time!

Thanks! I'd look better with a shirtless banzai/vosko combo under there, but my motor should do good for now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Well... Don't laugh...



I went to a well known body shop... Headlight cover in hand... And had them mix me up 3 rattle cans of VR.



Removed pretty much everything, taped everything off and sprayed away. (After a SUPER GOOD CLEAN and sanding.. ) I'm pretty mean with a can, and auto paint is really easy to spray. It looks just like the outside of the car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Took all of 2 hours to spray the bay with all 3 cans. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

What did the paint cost you?

It was 11 dollars per can. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png That's for the paint and to have it put in the cans.



36 something for 3 cans with tax. Might have been a little more or less.. I bought some other **** too and don't remember what costed what LOL.
