Painting the Q45 in a week

Trying to decide if i should do a SATIN BLACK FINISH...or go with KANDY CHERRY WINE...PINK BASE...hmmm Decisions...Decisions...thinking about the satin finish cause no one has it...and its against the grain...but the red is my color...but i dont want anyone confusing the whip for "33 flavors" whats yall think?

For what is worth I was going to paint my car glacier frost mica (a pearl white) but backed off of it because there's lots of dudes rocking the same color scheme & gold wheels. Diamond graphite Ms are rarely modded unlike Umbria grey, black and/or white, so I'm very glad the bodyshop was procrastinating on my ride... makes me think that everything does happen for a reason. The last thing I want is to copy or my car to look like anybody else's shit. For instance I picked the non sport 08+ bumper to upgrade my car's fascia not only cuz it looks better to me (my opinion) but because most people who upgrade their 06/07 Ms front bumper go for the sport one.
 
So if nobody's sporting the black satin you speak of, I say go for it my dude. GL.

We talked about the guts, so I'd say "tigers eye"

I think something along the lines of this would be a nice change of pace

This color is awesome...

Hey go for the satin or matte finish if you like, every little detail stands out more with those finishes. New Benzes are an extra couple thous. for a matte finish. Def. less prep and cost for a satin. Later.

Slo N Lo Benzo, how do you figure less prep?  You still clear a satin finish.  You have to mix flattener in the clear for that finish.  You don't just spray a base because a base has no UV protection.

Is Jocson's painting your ride?
They were suppose to do my color change about 2 years ago but I've been throwing all my duckets else where :pat:

it is a y33? candy wine

Definitely candy wine. I don't think satin goes with the classic design of the y33. I'd love to see a really nice Bordeaux red Personally.

Speed, you can spray a single stage satin black with no need to clear, also no need to prep as much for the thicker single stage paint. Matte finishes do need to be clear coated with low % gloss clear and you can then control the amount of shine you want or dont want. Later.

Doback...that purple color is amazing. If I had a ride worth that wild of a paint scheme, you better beleive I'd be rocking it.

yeah, forgot about the single stage black...LOL.  How could I?  hot rodders been using John Deer black single stage for years now.

i havent hit upo aaron just yet...weighing out my options on the paint first then ill find the shop...cause ill remove everything myself...windows, moldings, chrome trim, headlights you get he picture...and just have them do the paint n body

i think im leaning more towards the SATIN BLACk...just to throw its out there and see what happens can always be changed!

doesn't go with the body lines imo

I agree... I'd stay away from satin black.     Is that color getting popular or something?   Ever since Dark Knight I keep seeing more cars in a flat black to satin black.  From Sclass to GTR to civics.   What's going on?    Honestly it kinda looks like the cheap china fender I got for my civic when I had to replace it.   I say go for that tiger eye color VIP+TINT mentioned.

Set trends, dont follow... b different, but do what you like & what your heart tells you at the end of the day... eventually ppl (smart ones) will recognize your efforts. I see a lot of potential with that color... dudes in Japan rock pink cars with lemon lime interiors & ppl over here b drooling over that ish but if someone over here does it, you need to go buy a VIP for dummies book while their own car is white on gold wheels. Cant advance a culture with a knack for close mindedness.

That's true & really all that matters. Not a color I would choose personally though but something I would wanna see!

You can do a satin respray in a weekend you know. Later.

how about a satin wine color?  if youre set on satin....
 
i personally want a ls430 so i can go flat kawasaki green with black accents

Please don't flat black it. If you need to do a satin paint job do satin something else, white blue, red green whatever.

just like i was saying in my build thread not here to start no style wars or conflicts just want to do something different...i see it all the time at the shows here...all the same cars...colors...wheels...interiors...accessories...man it gets old and its been old...still looks good and beautiful but other then 33 flavors no ones tried doing a change up on color that ive seen...and in japan them fooz are nuts! crazy colors crazy schemes just to seperate themselves from the rest and imma try to do it something like that but not overboard! compared to those guys are cars are stock! hahaha but like i said we'll see and go from there!

I'll throw my 2 cents in.......I suggest the same color I ALWAYS suggest.
 
 
Suprano Purple

:biggthumpup:

I say no to any candy paint. Unless you are a master at doing it, or know a shop that has done it, and you have seen the out come many times from them. So many shops that say they do, suck. It is all zebra stripped and isnt fogged right, and looks really tacky as hell. 

Dont know what your car looks like, or what you are all doing to it.. but Satin black, with bbs lms, hell it can be  knock offerys til you get the real deal. But those wheels with a red center, and white lip so it looks hot rodish while being vip. and you got your self a awesome fresh whip

BLAST from the PAST!! hahaha...yea man been a minute still was doing my cars but i never kept them long enough to make anything into a a show worthy quality build...but with this one...ITS ON...hahaha now its time to see if i still got it!

theres lots of ppl on here with resprays...a lot of browns, reds, a purple, hell even my white isnt OEM...however most of us chose not to be loud (not that loud is a bad thing)...if thats your thing, satin black is even more far off haha..but do what you want in the end and itll be dope..i still think satin cherry wine would be sick with the right details and contrasting colors

I'm just in love with that suprano purple... damn!!!

I hate matte black paint... it ALWAYS looks like rattlecan primer to me. Not classy in the least - it looks temporary at best. Also, it's pretty played out here in SoCal.

I've always liked that Soprano Purple. I tend to like more saturated colors. My NSX is black and I hate the color (boring).

thanks!- what kit are you going with? - i was going to do something two tone - might still do it but in a different color now that the matte black is taken

that color is looking fresh

yeeeup! right on the money

I kid...

going with ther artisan spirits kit no fenders should come in in about 2-3 months from now but full kit, includidng the roof and trunk wing, have to mod it to work with the us spec bumper but im all good with that

looking good.

hey you can just pick up a jdm bumper for less than 300 - depends on what you feel is more cost effective - modding the us bumper as far as styling could be an issue - you like the lip kit on the jdm version style - you might have a different opinion when you try to mod it- my two cent cause the fogs are different

[url]http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c289731904[/url]

there you go 40 bucks homie

Color looks good !

Yea I know about the modding I like how the us bumper has the fogs on the sideband not in the front but I'm working on something hopefully before this kit comes in...on the link how the do I buy that if I wanted to? Lemme know!

Talk to Jdmpalace

[url]www.bidjdm.com[/url] can be used as well.

the color is nice but why repaint the whole car with dents on the hood?  I never understood that...it literally takes 15 mins to fix those 2 dents...

[QUOTE=VIP-UCF;410539]the color is nice but why repaint the whole car with dents on the hood?  I never understood that...it literally takes 15 mins to fix those 2 dents...[/QUOTE]

They already took care of the hood I saw them when I went to check up on the car...I don't hound them when they are taking care of the car...so everything is all good!

yea thats more the flat/matte black these guys were talking about in the post...but i kept the chrome inserts to have it pop nicely and accent the color!

^^ cool....can't wait to see how yours turns out

I like it. In the US, this style paint is usually associated with Hot Rodders, but of course does not mean it can only be used by Hot Rodders. Apply it to a style that comes from outside of the US, and you got something new. I like the fact that you are taking a chance and trying something new. I think it came out dope. I can sort of envision what you're going for, except not sure what finish your wheels will be. I think the finish of the wheels will play a big role now. But whatever you do, I think it will look really nice in the end. First thing I thought of when I saw the pics was pinstripes. Always thought flat colors looked good mixed with pinstripes. But maybe thats the Hot Rodder association thing rubbing off on me (Hot Rodders like to mix pinstripes with flat colors). I was thinking something similar to the Signal Auto Japan style of pinstripes. Lots of different ways you could do it. Just an idea ...

My thoughts exactly...the pinstripping would be dope but immature come up with a new twist that can accent the y33 body style

example? (couldn't find signal auto style pinstripe on a Y33)

SHES HOME...started by putting the jdm grill (brokey y33) thanks mang!...started assembly pack to hopefully make in time for normans vip meet on sunday!

mmm!

Pinstriping will give it that extra umph once u put the kit on. Moar pics...i kant wait already...lol!

Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

i'd say pinstripe to match the wheels

finished putting the car together ill take pics of the complete put together when i wash it up and clean her up!...alot of people like the color...throws them for a loop cause of the original color and when i pull up in this they are like "wow looks totally different" but it grows on them

in for finished product pics ...the outcome seems like it will be dope!!

Was lookin forward to seeing this at the WFC meet :P

Looks pretty damn good. Definitely a huge difference between a proper satin paintjob and just flat black, something a lot of people (unfortunately) do not understand.

Flat Grigio Estoque works absolutelly well on most cars...

Or go out and do something like this: Its flat brown. Looks like chocolate:
