You've hit the nail on the head with that one Sherlock! :)
For a sneak peak have a look at Ezzy's site (http://www.ezzy-style.com.au/esmcustoms/esmcustoms.html), it'll be very close to that.

Sorry Ezz for spilling the beans, the excitement is too much for me to contain. ;)

haha im pretty sure its photo-chopped but there was a period of time in bankstown where wheels were a popular item among theives, it wasnt uncommon for them to jack up the car and just steal the wheels haha
i guess now they're more advanced and clean out the rest of the car ;)

Wheels are still popular, but not as popular as Recaros from a Type R or a T28 turbo from a 200SX. :p

Does anybody know roughly how much a good quality full respray would cost?

Presumably if you want special effects or metal flake paints, or whatever, you can spend as much as you want.

I've no plans to change my colour any time soon - I love my cheery Lightning Yellow. :)

But I'm planning to keep the car for many years, so the idea of occasionally 'renewing' its looks sounds appealing. Either with a similar colour, or maybe even something completely different. At least it sounds good until I find out just how much that might cost, I expect. ;)

Anybody know a rough figure for a full respray with regular style paint, please??

ypwpat
11-07-2004, 05:20 PM
Oh please don't do the 2 Tone paint thing... i think it looks Super RICE.

White Pearl Would be Cool ;)

EZZY,

What do you have to do, in RTA or legal wise, to get your car painted?

11-08-2004, 01:14 AM
im pretty sure as long as its not chrome its all good, people seem to paint their cars 2 tone or whatever all the time

why would you do a colour that's available from the factory... even tho we dont get it here.... yet?

e

EDIT:
taka, here in NSW, all you have to do is go to RTA and tell them what your new colour is.
when i got my other mazda resprayed the first time, a cop pulled me over and told me that how come the RTA database says my car is still white..... i said i just got it painted so he changed the colour code for me from the cop car :D

ypwpat
11-08-2004, 05:30 AM
The 2 tone colour what i meant is the one when you flash different light angle will change colour. Such as Green, Purple, Gold, etc

You mean "chameleon" or colour flip paint, not two tone.
BTW, that's not considered "rice" in Sydney, more "Habib-style". ;) :p :D

EZZY
11-08-2004, 05:44 AM
those "chameleon/ flip" paint are getting more affordable now.

when PPG first started back in 1999, it retailed for $1,000 a litre, had an opportunity to do in that kind of colour for the sponsorship, but decided to go with gold/orange with marble effect,.

now you can get these type of paint for cheap, from different companies of course.
"chameleon/ flip" paint is for ppl who cant make up their mind :D

have spent the past few days rubbing inside the doors, door jambs, under bonnet, under bonnet, beaver panel and couple of bits and pieces. tomorrow we will start on the outside and hopefully on friday we can do some colour(s) testing..... there might be a change of plan ;)

Ezzy's changed his colour choice due to it no longer being unique..... someone in the US has done an orange one already.

So the chances of him doing a "common" colour like yellow is unlikely. :rolleyes:

11-11-2004, 06:21 PM
PiNk has also been done before...

How about the Moonstome blue you see in the Peugeot 206?

EZZY
11-12-2004, 02:52 AM
yellow.... no bloody way mate, that would have to be the last colour i'd do, i'd even go back to black than have it done in yellow :cool:

pink.... not me mate, i know someone is INTERESTED in it ;)

dark purple was on my list, but not anymore.

orange, someone has done it, and come to think of it, since my last two full resprays were orange i think its time for a new colour.

moonstome blue... is that similar to winning blue, if yes, NO, if no, NO :D

nah, maybe i should just go back to BLACK :D

UPDATE: all rubbed, chasing up a colour tomorrow to see if it is available in the effect we want. also, may get my air-saw out and cut something out tomorrow ;) :eek:

There's a big range of possibilities in the green range. The 'standard' green looks interesting (although I've never seen one, except in photos). But it's way up one end of the many possibilities of green.

Does anything in the green spectrum look of interest??

Are you a clairvoyant or something mate? :confused:
Ezzy and I were discussing this today.
Guess great minds think alike..... but it won't be anything like the standard Nordic Green if he chooses to go this way.

EZZY
11-12-2004, 10:17 PM
green is on the top of my list atm. i have always wanted a green car :D
waiting for the paint supplier to get back to us with the colour/effect we are after.
we are likely to go with candy apple green, but who knows, we may get a different type of paint all together :)
one thing for sure is that it wont be anything like mazda nordic green or holden hot house green ;) it will be a custom made "ezzy green" :D

UPDATE: went into the workshop for abit today (thanks to nojooc...), took out my air-saw and did something :eek: this may give you some ideas.... will be back onto this on monday ;)

sorry boys no update atm.... the 8 has been sitting on its arse at the same spot for the past week (been away on a mini holiday and other bits and pieces).
the new deadline will be around new years, when we can shut the workshop while ppl are on holidays and go nuts on the 8 :D

anyway, i have been "playing" with some parts of the 8, things like guards, euro spolier, gauage pods etc.... hopefully they will be available for the australian market sometime next year, i have no idea how much the euro spolier is :confused: ....

now im deciding if i should "work" on the factory bars or "work" on some aftermarket kits :rolleyes:
