Forgive Me Father, For That I Have Sinned

[brother_david]

I've spent the last couple of months adjusting new wider front and rear fenders for my R33 GTSt.

It was going to get a big airbrush paintjob on the sides, but keeping the original Light Silver paint as a base.

All of this went to pieces as i used a hot air blower to get rid of our company vinyls on the sides. Everything was going well when i pulled off the vinyls but then they started to go 'POP'.. leaving me big spots where the paint had stuck on the vinyls. This was appaerently because of bad work preparing for new paint from an earlier accident.

I couldnt decide what new color to go for, thought of all neon-colors i could but i like the factory look so after some real headbanging i went for the greenish 'Millenium Jade' found on the R34 GTR V-Spec II Nür.

But i still wanted too do something fun with the fenders, my priginal thought was to use screws to fit them, and really show the screws as they give a raw look to it. This i couldnt to cause the material was to thin. Fortunatly a friend if mine stopped by and said i might as well paint some pops on them. And then it grew to getting some rust-effect to it.

This was all good but not 100% great until another friend of mine told me, since i already was going to paint my Carbonfiber-bonnet (this is the whole Forgive me father-part), to paint some on the bonnet aswell! I know not all like CF painted but i think this will connect the style of the rear fenders with the style on the front

I'm going to get the trunk-lockhole painted too just to get it all connected in some way to each other.

Heres how it all looks with 2 layers of clear coat on, sanded with 800-paper and getting another 2 layers of clear coat:

Say 3 hail mary's and be good to your mother. Looks damn fine to me.

not so sure about the rust effect, i think itd look mint without it. also will that millennium jade end up having a darker look to it?

[TALBO]

It would look much much better without the rust look imo.

Forgive Me Father, For That I Have Sinned, And some more...

fenders

Trunk

"perfect" rust.

Try some self flagellation, still I doubt that'll be enough penance .

Sinner!!

[Spunky Munky]

You're definitely going to hell...for those freaken rust holes...but the rest of the car looks tough...

[Peza]

I think it'll look unique, the rust adds a different effect looks good.

[brother_david]

Hopefully itll have that unique look to it, without taking it to far The original idea was to go for a race/drift/timw-attack look, with tons of vinyls but somewhere on the road it took a turn for something else

The millenium paint is getting a bit darker, and getting a nice depth thanks to the clear coat. I saw it painted with only 2 layers and no extra sanding, it looked great but flat! The only thing that worries me somewhat is that i've always thought that an R33 shouldnt be painted green, doesnt fit the sort of lame/dull shapes of it. And then i went and painted mine green

Ill update with pics of it in the beginning of next week, got to hurry though, im going to a carshow on thursday morning and getting some parts on monday, the rest on tuesday afternoon... So im planning to get forgiven by God for painting the CF and try to get him to change a day from 24 to 36 hours.. Hope it works

It's going to look tough with the rust i think.

[brother_david]

Thanks man!

Heres a pic of some details; taillights, sidemirrors, grill and doorhandles. They're all done and gives an idea of how the paint looks

[Esc]

I think the bonnet looks good mate.

[G0DZLR]

if the headlights and grill etc are the final coat, theyre looking great! cant wait to see the rest of the 33 in that colour.

[Char]

+1 for i think its looking good,

Rust is a different idea as usually most people HATE to see rust on their cars..

...

though i guess if rust starts to come through few years later you can say "i did that on purpose, part of the effect"

[typevu]

The millennium jade looks sweet - not sure on the "rust effect" though...

[Rocky88]

cant wait to see it finished.

r u doin work yourself or you getting it done professionally?

[brother_david]

Im doing everything when it comes to preparation such as alignment and adjusting parts, stripping it down and also sanding it down, myself, good way of learning new things and it'll feel nice when its done

The only thing i dont do myself is the laying the paint and airbrushing, havent got myself into that yet

[R 2 THE J]

With the rust effect, I wonder what happens when RTA inspector sees it.

They are gonna wanna have a deeper look into the car. They'll think hey whats happenin hear.

And prob bitch slap u for somethin else the pricks if they can't pin u for that.

But yeh, LOOKS TOUGH MAN!.

Very unique.

[Mr Cali]

Whats with the wrinkles in the paint on your tail lights though?

[brother_david]

love the colour mate very nice.

Whats with the wrinkles in the paint on your tail lights though?

Thanks mate, cant wait to get it back from the paint iwth the last 2 layers of clear coat laid down! Will deffinetly post pics of that

Got me worried there! But the wrinkles are simply reflections from stuff on the right side of me, otherwise i'd be very unhappy with the result
