Wo0kie Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 If being different is the exercise, cover your diddle in black paint and slap it all over the roof for sicck camo stz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyGal Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I hear what your saying ky I just think a shiney red roof will look ultra shit on a faded car. Thats why thought black. Paint the whole car satin beige/brown/tan. Better than cock slapping get everyone on OS to whip their wangs on it (not at the same time, I know what your thinking you gay cunts lol) and spray their wangs black leaving a lovely personal stencil. Shotgun drivers door handle for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Red roof will look average because it wont match the faded original paint at least blacks blatantly different. Paint or ban! and thats why we have spectrometers and cutting paste do red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmagedon Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Emailed those chaps to ask how much a wood grain valve cover would cost. Think it came to about $300. Flag that. would have to see how much a roof would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Its an incredible process to watch happen. Its a pva based film which he lays over a water bath, then sprays an activator on and it kind of dissolves into the water. the part has been sprayed in a base coat (like for wood grain some shade of brown) then dips it into the film/water and pulls it out with the pattern on it. whole lot gets rinsed for a bit and then sprayed with clear coat. So at the end its pretty much a really high quality painted finish. Thats why it costs a bit coz there is a massive amount of prep work has to go into getting everything totally smooth. I actually thought it would be more than $300 for valve covers, thats pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yeah 300 is actually not bad. Got me thinking about wheel centers. Not keen for $300 a wheel though, shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
