abtin90 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 So when can we expect a proper teaser pic of the paint? Also I'm still surprised by the issues you had with your engine transplant. Not impressed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Quit all this talking and put up a picture already! Glad to hear your happy with it mate, cant wait to see it. I have a nice video on my phone I appreciate there's always two sides to every story but I wouldn't be a happy customer, this is half the reason I've learnt to work on my cars myself because if you cant trust some of the professionals then who can you trust!? At least SRD sorted it out for you though! I had one of mine painted yelllow, who cares if other people like it or not as long as it floats your boat (and it's not pink) Not overly worried about what other people think of my colour choice some will love it, some won't. I have built my own one off Supra and in my mind have done the best I can on my budget Approval from the Forum members is always great, but I have to build it to what I like at the end of the day, otherwise it would look like someone elses It's the one thing I really love about the Supra, you can still make them individual So when can we expect a proper teaser pic of the paint? Also I'm still surprised by the issues you had with your engine transplant. Not impressed at all. I took a little video of a mirror in the sun today, maybe I will post it up, but it won't be a teaser, it will just be the colour lol I have said all I need to say about the WhifBitz transplant, it was what it was, parts missing or not working, I leave it as that SRD sorted it and are now the only place that will be working on my Supra mechanically, other than myself Happy Birthday Rog Wrong thread but thanks lol Edited February 22, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Heyyy just noticed that, I wanted to see this new colour Polishing looks great bud, it's not a 5 minute job is it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Heyyy just noticed that, I wanted to see this new colour Polishing looks great bud, it's not a 5 minute job is it! Don't worry Kaan, it was a Black and White photo The polishing is very time consuming, the throttle body is very fiddly and to be honest it's not the best bit of polishing I have done, but I now have one eye on the calendar, so trying to use my time wisely Still have to do part of an Intercooler Pipe all 4 wheel barrels and put the wheels back together top coolant pipe Cam covers possibly may have to do another powersteering reservoir, as this one seems to be stained, but that may have to wait now also have to put the whole engine bay back together and the all the interior trims replace 2 wheel studs put my Uk rear brake calipers on Do another Oil change There are also a few other bits I want to do, but think time will not allow for the moment Edited March 9, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 As above everytime I see an update, I'm expecting a photo of the colour buts it's another polished part haha.

listy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think it's safe to say it's a dark colour, unless he inverted the b&w photo I have a feeling it's a midnight purple kind of colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They add layers to give depth and richness, then they Clear Coat over it It is difficult to describe the effect, it is sort of like a metallic, but not really lol Hopefully it will be finished soon, so I guess you lot will have to keep checking everytime I put another polished pic update:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
