haha....that's so cool.

Very nice IMCs folks

 

Island flavor very original. Now I need a Corona

 

Ah.....Carona. I want to add to this scene, you're giving me ideas!

 

every one has such in looking Manifold Cover. I have finaly decided what im going to do for mine, I order the Carbon Cevlar one from PasswordJDM

 

So I desperately want to add some style with a bit of paint. I have a blaze orange fit sport but finding paint is a pain. I'm pretty sure that I can't just go Menard's and grab some krylon and start spraying. What are some places where I could pick up some paint without worrying about the heat from the engine. Please help me, this is the first car I've had that I want to mod. Thanks guys!

 

Im thinking of going yellow on mine soon to match my lip. Its currently white(which i like), but i want it to match my lip!

A little Yellow on Black scheme. I likes your idea.

 

Much earlier in this thread people were saying you can use pretty much any paint. Mine is mostly Krylon spray. The palm trees are craft paint believe it or not. And then a few clear coats on the whole thing. I originally used a primer but the primer was either defective or from another planet cuz it kind of turned to dust when it dried. It wouldn't surprise me if it all comes off some day. If I were to do it over again I would not sand (because that actually roughed it up too much) and I wouldn't bother with primer. I figure if it does fall apart, it's time for something different. Maybe I'll get to do my "Who loves kitty?" scene yet!

(Anybody know how to draw a good butt-end of a cat with a sexy face?)

 

Yeah. I spend all day looking at my cats butt

 

Really? Do ya now?

 

All right! I got her done.

nice engine bay (drool)! hard to see the mani-cover though. post a close-up. How's the drive now? pretty sweet i bet.

 

I'll take a better shot when I can get a hold of a better camera. I'm not driving it yet. Still needs tuning. I'll edit that picture when I get a better shot.

 

first started as yellow



changed it up a bit haha, not the best pic iv ever taken, in fact... its terrible

 

hahahha kinda frontin it with the i-vtec, but looks good and hella props for boostin

 

DANGIT. FCUK. I was soo gunna do that. LOL. its all good tho cuz i'm gonna do the whole thing with the sun in the bottom right corner. I'm going to try to get my artist to it with a wave effect too.

gj tho. i like it

 

Man.. I really don't like the factory texture on the cover, especially painted. I'm filling mine before painting. Will post pics next week probably. Takes time to fill, wet sand, fill, wet sand, etc

 

thanks, your like the third person to say that they were gonna do it to. but i think im getting a second one so i can switch them once and awhile,
like i said to the other guys, do it, not like we will ever be parked next to each other with our hoods up.
i want to do just plain wrinkle coat red, like the one thats posted on here.

 

well fort lauderdale isn't thaaat far away. lol. I was actually thinking of going to school down there for awhile. I was thinking of doing the swap out thing for awhile but i'm too cheap to buy another one lol.

 

Haha I know, I'm trying to find a sticker to put on the "i" so that will be solved soon.
