Or are you going to try and t-cut the bit you've done. I can't help but feel you're going to be left with a line across the bottom of the wing! H.

Lukeyboy2k Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Slightly off topic - What wheels are they? (I'd really like some Super advan racing 2, but can't stretch to them at the moment) *waits to be criticised for liking 3 spoke alloys* I might do a bit of painting myself in the summer - interesting to see how yours turns out.

Painting techinques and quality or paint/T-cut/other stuff is advanced enough to cover difference (hopefully) I'm just worried about colour - it is standard Toyota Red. Before I will put paint on it, I need to search for exact colour code of Supra red. As i told, I'm doing it for fun anyway as my babe will be repainted next year (Kandy Red here I come ). When I will finish, I will show effect to world hehe. Primer covered scratched part (it was awfull scratch all over wing and partially bumper). After 24h i will rubber it , correct here and there and i will put paint. After next 24h clear laquer and I hope to get proper effect *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which advanced 21st century technique are you using? If you get that looking any good at all I will be amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Oh really? Which advanced 21st century technique are you using? If you get that looking any good at all I will be amazed. It is well known - at least in good garages - that you do not have to paint all element to get good effect. Quality of paint and techniques of painting allow you to spray for example just half of wing and with good matched paint you will be not able to tell difference. Only problem you can occasionally get are small bubbles of air on line of painting between fresh and old paint, you can correct it tho. I'm not saying mine will be any good - as you can see I'm doing it in carport using simple spray bottle. I do not expect stunning effect, just having fun before proper respraing of all car. Although, if I would have proper equipment and proper matched paint - I don't see any problem at all with doing it good I just need to find replacement of 3L2 Renaissance Red colour somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Halfords sell it. Yeh, but local one had only 3E5 I will ask them tommorow to make some 3L2 then. Thanks for advice Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 They can mix paint as well or order it in. Have you got any compunds and tools for cutting the paint ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Finished lower part (bumper) today, only wing waiting to be matted with 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and then clear laquer will be added. There is just a slight difference you would notice when looking under full sun and proper angle, it is caused because previous moronic owner (trader - not you CJ, of course ) painted front bumper with different shade of red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 So you didn't get the paint mixed at Halfords then? Thats too close a match for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Post up some pics when the front of the wing has been cut back and polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I did order 3L2 which is my colour code. It is just bumper, which was painted with hell no idea what shade of red. I managed to blur difference using G3 polishing compound and rotary polisher, so no problem at all Anyway, you will be not able to tell difference unless on full sun anyway. For a DIY I amazed myself (and hopefully Jake too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Post up some pics when the front of the wing has been cut back and polished I will - with wing it is a way easier, because paint match perfectly so i will not scrub all skin from fingers trying to blur difference haha. Today I will put clear laquer, so in next 6 days wing will be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
