Looks really good, i wouldn't change that imo

lazyman 09-12-2012 01:56 AM

Thanks :D but really wanted to go with the Red on Bronze look.

Do you guys think the Red Mazda logo in the middle is alittle too much?

Kahl 09-12-2012 10:01 AM

Looks good, the red may be a bit too much - but I'm curious as to how you got the logo red? Is it plasti also? and did the black plastidip easily peel off there?

Also, using just 1-2 coats of the gold metalizer over black gives a kind of bronze look.

lazyman 09-12-2012 05:44 PM

Once you take off the tire you can pop the center cap out and from there I used a flathead screw driver to slowly pop it up. But be careful its really fragile :D

The logo was plasti dipped before I sprayed on the red paint but if i don't like it I can just peel off the plasti-dip and the red paint will come off with it. The plasti-dips are pretty adhesive, they don't just peel off.

Looks good and nicely done.

Kahl 09-12-2012 07:32 PM

Yeah, I plastidipped my wheels on my VR (when I had a VR). I like the look a lot.

Pics of the whole car, in good light? Btw - needs more low ;)

lazyman 09-13-2012 02:41 AM

Gotta get my sideskirts first so it matches my front bumper :D lol

Looks good! I think the red Mazda logo in red might be a little too much, but that's just me. I love the black though!

lazyman 09-13-2012 03:54 AM

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I didn't want to paint it all black but I guess the red logo didnt turn out as good as I thought it would.

SayNoToPistons 09-13-2012 07:44 AM

Order the metalizer online at dipyourcar. Hate the look of matte black stockers.

pistonhater 09-13-2012 01:06 PM

Although R3 wheels are not really black, for a moment I thought these were R3 wheels, haha. It looks really good.

But that sticker on the gas tank lid is so...childish looking. Are you in high school, LOL

That mushroom sticker is boss :D

lepichichi 09-13-2012 03:57 PM

looks good now DROP IT LIKE IS HOTTT!!!!

markf5020 09-14-2012 12:48 AM

Very nicely done, but I agree with ^ drop it like it's hot :)

lazyman 09-14-2012 03:06 AM

Need some serious dough before I can drop it like its hot :D

Chailatte00 09-14-2012 10:17 AM

I love the black. And I don't think the red logo is bad either. A metalizer might be a good idea.

paimon.soror 09-14-2012 10:59 AM

hrmm well that doesn't look half bad. I wonder how it will look on a black mica. Guess I could try it out and peel it off after if it looks like poop

Are-Ex-Eight 09-14-2012 04:29 PM

I really like that look.

The red logo isn't too much. It makes it even more unique.

Btw is that an R3 front bumper?

SayNoToPistons 09-14-2012 05:27 PM

No, that's the AutoExe SE-03C.

shiftyjm 09-14-2012 05:45 PM

Thank you so much for doing this. I've been thinking about plasti dipping my R3 19's black to see what it would look like because I was going to get them rerfinished and base cleared black. (there's a little curb rash from previous owner). My car is red too. Perfect.

Now I know!

Thanks!

lazyman 09-14-2012 07:45 PM

Do it shifty :D. I don't know how much it costs to get your rims refinished but doing all 4 rims only took 2 cans :D. So I'm sure you'll save some money going with the plasti-dip choice.

shiftyjm 09-16-2012 08:30 PM

Well I was more so just wanting to see what the wheels being black would look like on the red.

I'd be refinishing them myself and having a friend spray them at his body shop.

Looks decent!

Is that the flat black color?

lazyman 03-04-2014 12:41 PM

Yes, it's the flat black plasti dip.
