Nice colour but you better make sure your panel work is 110%, especially when it comes to filler work for those arches, That grey will show EVERY imperfection

 

Really? I thought it would be easier to hide slight imperfections. Its a good job im a perfectionist :D

So the satin grey will still be easier to get right than a gloss black?

 

Yeah big time! black is off the scale when it comes to getting it right. Imo gloss grey is more classy than the satin but the satin will look different and will be interesting to see on a supra. Never painted satin on a large scale at our workplace, so aftercare i cant advise you on! not sure its as simple to clean as a gloss finish

Ok Rob cheers for that :thumbs: Black is a no no then but as for the satin grey I thought it would be intresting to see on a supra too and think it will help to give it the aggressive look im going for, I must admit gloss is a little classier too but I want this car to look mean :eyebrows:

Yeah satin should do that then! especially with the dark wheels.

Will be great in that colour dude :)

Still going for carbon bits?

Carbon wrapped diffuser on the trial will look mint with that colour.

 

Cheers mate :) I am planning on having a few carbon bits but unsure on having the diffuser in carbon or just satin black.

Thought I would just post some pics of this weeks progress. Spent hours and hours getting these arches just right as they are extra wide veilside overfenders and didnt want them to look tacky, I have gone for a heavy blend on them bridged with fibreglass then skimmed with filler and being an absalute perfectionist has made this job extra time consuming but I have to say, I am quite pleased with the outcome. I got a bit impatient and had to see what they looked like with the wheels standing underneith so heres some teaser pics :)
