Looks like 86F.

 

Dunno looks like Primer to me lol.

 

Not long now then

 

Bloody hope not lol.

Can you tell what sort of colour its going from that base??

 

That's why I mentioned a darker colour like a grey or deep green.

 

Well its neither lol.

Wouldn`t go grey as its not an Rb5, and I cant do green lol.

 

I hope for your sake you never lose a side skirt.

I like that colour, matt grey.

 

p1 blue

 

No **** like, I reckon I got it right before and you just won't say.

 

You could well be right, but then you could well be wrong too.

 

The colour originally came on the JDM cars as Cool Grey, then renamed for the RB5.

 

Progress!!!

Well done mucca. Looks quite stealthy like that, job done i rekon!!

Get cracking the whip on them man, if you want im sure Ty will let you borrow his to get them into shape!

 

Not much of an update, but new centre caps decals arrived.

 

long time for a respray!though i expect it to be very nice when done

 

Tell me about it, car went in on the 18th JANUARY, had to wait 2 weeks for "Authorisation", but still. Has been a while lol.

Its getting so long now I may have to announce what colour it`s going, as its as if I`ve not got a Scooby lol.

 

I like stories :-)
Spill the beans lol

 

My head does my head in.

All I can say is I`m so glad the colour is going on tomorrow, as I`ve had niggles in my head and decided to go with what I wanted to do when I bought the car 2 years ago.

I`m gonna get stick, of that I don`t care. But I`ve not the money to do this more than once, so has to be done right.

The colour I had chosen was as Richard said Z2C Blueberry Purple, pics below, but have had niggling doubts about it, and with the cost of the job to redo I cannot have any form of niggles, as if I`m not entirely happy I`m F***ED!!

Pics of what I was going for.











I`m just glad I had time for it to settle in my mind, and I can`t get it to settle fully, so I know I`m not happy.

 

like both those colours i be in two minds aswell

 

Yeah I`m going 74F Sonic Blue (P1 Blue).

Yeah its boring and the same colour it is now, but I KNOW I like it, unlike getting it done a different colour and NOT being happy. Air on the side of caution and stick to what I know.

 

You disappoint me James, do I get a prize though for getting the colour it was going to be.

 

Don't worry you can't be more disappointed than me. I just couldn't get it to settle in my head, and after looking through pics of my car last night from when I had it through to now I just preferred it the way it is, and wasn't comfortable enough in that purple to bite the bullet. When it comes to modifications I can do that no problem.

 

Fair enough, wasn't sure on it when I first saw it either.

 

A couple of weeks & 4 pages later we are back to the start with the colour :-)

Better to be safe than sorry so don't blame you keeping it the same ....

 

Tried to keep it interesting atleast lol. But I have just had enough of second guessing myself, so gone with what I know I like. *** you say better safe than sorry.

 

Anyways went down first thing and dropped off the wheel centres, and sorted the codes.
Anyways some pics.

They have painted the car black with some sort of primer, then grey and are wet sanding it back to show the black through.

What this means in the great scheme of things I don`t know lol.

they flat it back jb for high and low spots iam sure jarvis will put us right on it

 

Lol then what?

Unless its Hammerite and a Gearbox, I know nothing of car painting lol.

 

Don't you usually dust over primer with another colour and then flatten that back to the primer. It helps get the the base coat to a mirror finish.

 

[QUOTE=Jimbob;10510595]Lol then what?

Unless its Hammerite and a Gearbox, I know nothing of car painting lol



perfect bodywork ready for top coat

 

Should make my paint job look nice then

As above

Don`t think the car will have had paint this good even from new lol.
