monza786 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) hi guys just want your opinion on three things im having a full body respray on my mk iv supra in the three tone flip paint colour the colour on thr tvr tuscan in sordfish,is this a good colour and is this wise as all my friends are teling me its a lot of money and touch ups are hard if a prat or jelous twat scratches the car. secondly im putting a vented bonnet on is this a bad idea when it rains ect lastly should i take the stock spoiler off or on or put a after market 1 on,and in also thinking of putting a carbon bonnet will that look good or out of place maybe some 1 has some pics of 1s already done in that colour.

evinX Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Imo, dont do the flip, if 1 panels gets scraped you can paint the panel alone but it will stand out, so a full car respray to make it look good, vented bonnets are ok, your engine will just rust, put what ever spoiler you like on...

Abz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Get one little scratch & it is pretty much impossible to match without re-spraying large area's. If you decide on vented bonnets (which can look nice) make sure they have rain vents so then the rain doesn't all dribble on the engine. If you have a polished engine bay it won't stay as polished if you have vents. Stock spoiler is good, up to you on this as long as you don't stick on a VS Spoiler!

The Raven Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Cut the stock bonnet, then add plexi glass trays. Wont rust at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monza786 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 thanx everyone for your advice ill see if i can resist the temptation of the flippaint lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I would do a little more checking, as some of the cromaflair type flip paints are easier to match due to the multi colour look and can be blended better than some metallics.

Richie1985 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 It would be best to check with a body shop regarding the paint, after all, if it does get damaged they are the ones who would have to repair it. Lee has flip paint on his car, check his garage for some pics. Regarding the styling, that is totally up to you, regarding vented bonnets, make sure there is something to stop the rain running straight onto your engine. The advice above is good.

lamboyello Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 i think you should do whatever your heart desires if you look after it properly then you wont get many scratches and don't live your life on 'what if', if you do that then what's the point in living. Defo make sure you don't get water on the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
