Level7 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 ^ same. Also that dark cherry mica RX8 colour, would be a mish to touch up. Any damage and you will be doing full panels, you can't just blend a small part. every stone chip will show up, then any polish make it stand out 100% more (my old RA23 celica was pretty much the same dark cherry black metalic colour, painfull..) Old school factory flat colours all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz1600 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 na its not hard to touch up at all... im head car painter in one of the busiest shop in the naki, piece of piss really... hardest part is taking off the old paint because i really cant be arsed, probly seal it down with some feather fill/spray bog...

spanners Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 What wheels with new colour? Rims could make or break it I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz1600 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 lenso pd9's im thinking, they have a old school look at the same time of being new... also depends if im going 100ml wider per side that is, then probly get somthing close to 10" wide trying to track down some cheap/free shitty 5 stud wheels to use for when it goes into the engineering shop to have 5 stud rear end conversion. just so its still a roller untill i buy mags/tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Modgies? Stink bro. Also, RX tail lights? Actually dig the look? Sweet motor. Must go pretty rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz1600 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 only got the mods cos they poped up really cheap, can get other wheels later... Motor is in very very good condition and tuned well, it just takes about 5 laps around the block and about 15 mins to warm up properly though hahaha shoots huge flames as per tail lights, the previous owner cut and re-arranged the tail light housing to suit chrome bumper model tail lights (fail) so it was fairly munted in that area... was just an easier way of tidying it up. heaps has changed in the last few weeks, and probly gunna be painting it very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 who do you work for mate? personally i think the rx2 lights are fail, but each to their own and the rest of the car is sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazz1600 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 yeah man, looks sharp ae, i wanted a colour that was new but looked sorta old. looks real dark/black in the shade but has a nice greenish/blue tone in the sun without too much sparkle. way happier with it compared to the lambo colour i was interested in ages ago spent a little time tonite fitting stuff, but am giving myself a break untill the weekend stoked though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
