Fearless Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) i dont like the sound of the colour! a recon a real nice blue! som eof the blue ones that were at jap fest were lush! kinda like silicone blue? stands out! or white will make it look even wider!! I thought long and hard about the colour, but it's too late now the paint is ordered and I think it will look good. o and excellent progress mate looks amazing! Thanks Edited January 29, 2009 by Fearless (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 This now looks amazing in the flesh. It's going to look so good dark green, menacing rather than a race car look. I can't wait till it's painted, should be painted by the end of next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Any news on this ? Car is due to be painted at the end of this week. Had a delay with colour choice as the painter wanted to suggest some other idea's. Now need to source a base coat as the chosen paint is very specific. Suspension is due to land at the end of this week too. Coming close to an end now Be sad to see it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Car is due to be painted at the end of this week. Had a delay with colour choice as the painter wanted to suggest some other idea's. Can't wait, Jon has sent me a sample of a VERY nice VERY expensive TVR paint and manged to get his boss to agree to do the work for the same price as the original quote. This basically means that http://www.hiltonaccidentrepair.co.uk are doing the extra work for the cost of the paint. So a massive thank you to Jon and http://www.hiltonaccidentrepair.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a massive thank you to Jon and http://www.hiltonaccidentrepair.co.uk The cost of the paint and a bit of free advertising for http://www.hiltonaccidentrepair.co.uk perchance? Glad it's being sorted though, looking forward to seeing some final pics, sounds and looks as though it's in very safe hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's being sorted though, looking forward to seeing some final pics, sounds and looks as though it's in very safe hands. To be fair no one has asked me to give them free advertising, but I think it's only right to give them a mention (or two) given the cost of the paint and the absolute attention to detail in their workmanship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's being sorted though, looking forward to seeing some final pics, sounds and looks as though it's in very safe hands. No advertising requested or agreed and it wont be - Thanks anyway though steve I would like to think the car is in safe hands, while the car is here I feel like it belongs to me. The guys has really enjoyed working on the project as its so different to the norm. I just checked and we have now spent 140 hours on the car Im away on holiday next week but will be coming in to see the car as im nearly as excited as Steve, especially with the colour. (Only trouble is, i doubt the colour will show its self off in a photograph ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fantastic colour, oh well too late now I will just have to be happy with the one I have chosen, it is quite special though and should look stunning but as Jon said it will probably not show it's best in a photo. I can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 whats happening with the wheels mate, using old ones, new, or painting old ones? Sorry if you've already said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 The paint is TVR Nebula Black, it's a difficult paint to photo well but I have a sample of it here and it can be virtually jet black until the light catches it then it comes alive with a multitude of colours. Probably not every ones cup of tea but I love it and the style of the car really required something different. I am not sure on the wheels yet, I will see what they look like once it is finished but will definitely not (according to my good lady) be getting new wheels, although I may change the colour.

hoff Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Interesting colour indeed. I like it. I really hope I get to see it at some shows later in the year:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Few more pics, looks quite dusty because they are still working on it and it will look a lot different in the sun once it is polished. I can't wait to see it finished. The last picture is of a TVR done in the same paint to give an idea of what it will look like in the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
