NEW PAINT! crappy cell phone pics! who likes!

Finished paint last week, still got a couple things to do, wet sand and buff also, but this is it soo far.

P.S. got a lot of better shots but too big right now, I'm lazy.

here's one more from home, cell again.
We're painting the rims black soon, no money for the one's I want soo i'm gonna do what I can with what I got. Best thing is me and my boy did it ourselves.

HKS hi-power is on the way! say what u will about the single exhaust, that thing sounds good though, and is light! so oh well.

OH and Thanks.

i know some have done very similar, but I had to do it still. The lines are made for it.
A lot of people say it looks like an Audi from the front.
Looks way better in person.

Thanks for the compliments, i have been waiting to paint for awhile, had an accident in the front and gave me an excuse. Plus my friend works at a shop so it was just time and very minimal money used.

ahhh the two best colors on an 8 white and black.

Looks great! Best two tone I've seen by far. By painting just the top of the trunk it makes it look sweet from behind.

whoever painted it did a great job.

Me and my buddy painted it, and we didnt just paint the top and trunk, it was TI Gray! We did everything except the pull the engine compartment, cuz there's not much color in their anyway, hold on and i'll show a couple pics before and during.

I have a lot of pictures of the process, don't want to post too many, the guy in the pic is my boy, we did at night for 4 nights and put it back together in a day, some long hours and still needs a wet sand and buff, but I think worth it.

engine from a few feet away, you can't see the stock unless you look close up.

It look's like i know it... combination suits the car... I can't see enough from it, my friend has something similiar to it... and I just stand and look at the car , unique, and everyone, from age 7 to 77 look at it, even the tuning haters

yeah thats tight, I knew I was'nt gonna be totally unique, but I wanted nice and clean. There's and orange and black one overseas too. I did the jet black with the new white pearl for mazda, just made it a little brighter and whiter.

Almost did candy apple red but white just looks too good on our cars.

I just dont like the checker pattern running down the lines.

SamiRX-8, you're right about every body liking it, I've turned a lot of heads and today at the bike shop they're was like a 65 year old lady that was like WHOA I like that and kept saying how nice it was.

you stole my idea!! lol

dude nice work. i've gotten my hood to front bumper (and left the rotary triangle in the hood alone) painted black so far. and my trunk...just waiting to get the roof and pillars painted black too. By the way I have a ti-gray and i think i like the white/black better than my ti-gray/black. Good choice.

No, the lip was gonna be for the back. Think the supercat will come first though!

Use to love Ti Gray when it came out, but just got tired of it and I never stopped liking the white, soo now its white and black.

And I have mirror tint, but thats gonna be replaced with some 20% soon.
Also I think i'm gonna get some window visors.

Thanks guys

It's only a small amount of tint, don't even remember what %, but I wish I never got it.
