Thread: Paintjob done, World rally blue SpecV is back!

after my car got hit by a bike, I decided to just repaint the whole car since I was planning on repainting it someday either way, I got another car to drive, and it's worth the little extra labor and money.

I'm not in any of these photos, as I'm the one taking them, the guy spraying it is a close friend of mine.

Replace door? Nahh. FIX!


Pull that body line!


mmm icing


This is why it's not ok to lean on someone's car




fixed!


more icing, body lines are a PITA


long day wet sanding the whole car


the day is here!














base coat done!


mmmm clear!


time to go home with blue lungs!


think it came out pretty good


More pictures in a few days after it's all back together and buffed!

Looks damn good man.

Might look better than last time

Nice! I love that color blue. I wish my sentra had a nice poppin color. Im sporting the classic cloud white lol

Looks good! I wish I had a paint/bodywork hookup, my car's been hurtin

Yea im in need of a bit of work too. Looks like the work is going to pay off.

It definitely will! Last time it was painted single-stage since I knew it was only gonna be a temporary paint job, this one was done two-stage and with more patience.

Looks nice but you should of wet the floor before spraying the car so no dust would kick up and get onto the paint

I did, twice.. Lol

This is what I'm thinking of doing (repainting the whole car that is) since after all the repair work the paint won't ever match the factory paint perfectly and it annoys the hell out of me. Looks awesome man

okay cause that floor looked dry lol

Just finished her today! Please excuse the iPhone pictures, also I still gotta bring out some extra shine on her, put the badges back on, and re-blackout the lower grill.







Here is what we are working on now :P

Whip looks really good! Came out great

Lol maybe the grill.

But I can't lower it, the cons outweighs the pros.

1. My old b15 was lowered.. It hit everything, I tend to drive it like its an SUV.
2. I have a low offset, tires already rub under certain situations.
3. I have back problems, can't be getting in and out of a low car everyday.
4. I tend to go off-road and even go to MudFest.
5. Higher bumper beams = safer
6. I can work under my car without jacking it up
7. Stock suspension = no suspension problems, cheap, even on both sides
8. More comfortable
9. No money spent to go low.

Looks nice, I also got mine repainted black shortly after I bought it. New paint gives an older car new life.
