Was thinking of giving an old U12 Pintara TR-X a matt finish, with matching black rims and tinted glass and lights..

Going for a whole sleeper look..

Ferrari looks hawt in any color, can't really say the same for the Pintara. :)

i like it bar the wheels.

satin black is pretty good also. my friend was telling me how his gf knew someone who had their IS200 done in matt black in brunai. looked crazy but always got greasy finger prints all over it. ha. if you really want a sleeper look leave it looking stock as a rock.

I like it, incidentally my favourite artist is picasso

I was thinking about painting my 32 matt black, and some detail in gloss black, it needed a respray anyhow - but the decision was made for me when it got stolen, foolish car.

matt paint is definitely not for the sleeper look.

it does make a car more unique tho... bit of a change from all the candys, harquelins etc..

deriq.

lol how tough does that 300 look tho ^^^^^

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
