Tajaba

I finally finished painting my car.........

Initial disasterous paint scheme






Initial black






Finished product!





New Rims!







I also wanna ask:

My god, I thought that was gold masking tape. You mean you actually put time and effort into getting your car to look like that?

Wow, that's without a doubt the most hideous RX-8 I've seen on the forums, and I've been here for a looong time.

This has to be a joke, right?

It looks like someone took a crap, and then cleaned that crap up with a larger piece of crap, but only after they used some gold spraypaint on on both pieces of crap.

lol, I actually like this color, but then again, I don't hang out too much with the "higher" crowds, I actually wanted to paint it black, but went with gold instead because "some idiot" told me to, oh well, always have time to repaint it anyways

now I need to buy some BB paints........oh god

^ no, I did it because I got nothing else to do to my car, so I figured, what the hell, lets paint da damn thing, but couldn't decide on the color

besides, I seriously don't think it looks that bad, but I initially wanted to go with black

all good, still got some primers left.........still got a **** load of clear coats

definitly doable

I think that "some idiot" is referring to me I told him to paint it gold. I figured it'll flow nicely with the Silver 8... I actually do like it.
