DodgyRog Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Augh, come on Rog, you're killing us Sorry I know it's going on and on a bit, but I don't want to show it until I can show the complete effect. Hopefully it will be worth the wait Looks amazing already I can't wait to get the finished pics out there, absolutely love the finish we have got with this new stuff Hmm some kind of flake I spy I reckon dark flake purple. No Flake at all, this is a new type of finish, the only colour used is a black base, then a colorless magic dust/powder is mixed into lacquer. The dust is lots of microscopic prisms, so they distort the light to create the colour. The colour is different depending on the shape of the prism used It generates a very deep rich colour with lots of depth, there are 9 layers to get this finish The pics I have been posting are not quite true Black and White, Hue and Saturation is changed also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Any pics of the colour yet? Sorry Kaan I have been ill, so have not been able to get much done, hence being a bit behind I finally decided on the wheel colour 2 weekends ago, so we have been waiting for the wheel paint to arrive, it arrived today, so they will be painted tomorrow I will collect them Saturday and then put them back together at home and return them the following Saturday, so that should be when I can get some photo's sorted The Supra is pretty much finished, I just need to bleed the brakes and put the Interior Trim Panels back in and give everything a good clean (to my standard, not bodyshop standard ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Mate, I so want it finished, I can see Dragonball just over the horizon and yet again my Supra is in bits One month mate. You'll be beering it up this time in may. Good luck getting it back together. I still need to do the exhaust, and have a custom silencer put in. Can't see it happening.

I just need to get it home now, so I can do the bits I want to sort before Dragonball, hopefully have it on the drive a week Saturday I wasn't going to bother putting up anymore Black and White pics, but Jad has finished the flattening today, apparently it is mega shiny He has also painted the wheel centres today, they were stripped to bare metal first, I have not seen them yet as he forgot to take any pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 my wheels look like they may need a clean lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 such a tease I know, but we are nearly there my wheels look like they may need a clean lol That's why your wheels are on there and not mine Well I thought I would treat you all to some pics of the wheel colour, in the Sun they will go a bit more Copper and Gold So here's a few pics I got today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 They look cool. Very unique. Should play off the wood effect colour nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 They look cool. Very unique. Should play off the wood effect colour nicely. It took me ages to find a colour that worked with the body colour and that I liked I didn't want anything to bright that would take anything away from the main bodywork, but I also didn't want something that would disappear In all honesty the pics of the car or the wheels just doesn't do this new finish any justice at all, if I get time tomorrow I will get a little walk around Video (only the wheels though lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looking good Rog. Are you going to put any protective coating on the new paintwork. Or just the usual polish and wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Looking good Rog. Are you going to put any protective coating on the new paintwork. Or just the usual polish and wax. I was going to Quartz it Mark, but due to time restraints it is going to have to be done later, probably next winter, as we are already planning a couple of bits of work for next winter:innocent: such tease with the pic's rog:limp: I wasn't originally going to post pics of the wheels in colour, but thought it was getting a bit prolonged now:blink: Edited April 18, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 So is the colour of the car the same colour as the wheels ? No, it's not the same colour at all I collected the wheel centres while down at Dip Demons today and took some more pics, but in the Sun this time, shows how different the finish is in Sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staples230uk Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've been following his on Facebook Rog! Looks awesome so far. Good work chap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Shame about not managing to protect the nice new paint job. I am sure you will wax that baby up any how. On a more serious note, your going to have to be mega gently with your nuts Looks very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
