So..I did a little spraying

Davis · 09-21-2007, 07:33 PM

PLEASE, LET THIS THREAD DIE!-09/28/09

Soooo.....The dark silver side moldings were stock on black 91-93 (I think) turbos....FAIL lol Someone please correct me if this is also wrong info.

What do you guys think? Comments are welcome, good or bad.

The only reason I painted the moldings is because i love how white twos had silver ones! So I just had to try for myself. The end result turned out pretty good for $5

Wish the silver was a tad bit darker though.

But it's alright for now. I bet I could pull this off with some solid side moldings and clear corners though.

Update! 9/22

Hehe Jeff your right, I knew I should've used a darker grey but I wanted to see what a light silver would look like.

So I woke up today and started prepping up all over agian at 9 am and finished everything at 12.

More opinions please!

I like it, so I'm keeping it!

Looks good! I think the clears would help out a lot.

AFBujinkan · 09-21-2007, 08:05 PM

Not a bad look at all.

Bak@EMSPowered · 09-21-2007, 08:07 PM

If you get clears hit me up... I'll buy your current corners.

RePete · 09-21-2007, 09:30 PM

Hmm, at the risk of a tomato hitting me I have to say it looks a little like a moustache on your very shiny MKII.

Davis · 09-21-2007, 09:35 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys! Come on vote people! Don't be scared to hurt my feelings!

I'm just experitmenting and if I can't find the right color it's going back to black.

Hey Bak, sorry man i'm not selling these babies.

And Pete, what's your address? I'm going to send you a tomato.

jk!

I have 4 more colors lined up...So I'll keep you guys posted!

VeilsideMR2 · 09-21-2007, 09:35 PM

yea car looks sick... awesome job, if it were me i think id use clears tho...

butter nuts · 09-21-2007, 10:03 PM

Paint them black to match the panels.

TomsMR2 · 09-22-2007, 03:30 AM

looks awkward..

artur1976 · 09-22-2007, 04:02 AM

I like it. It would look better with solid molding on fenders.

Its Turbo Time · 09-22-2007, 11:00 AM

looks nice, I think the car needs some other silver accents to pull it off fully

bump and thanks guys.

tech2 · 09-22-2007, 07:45 PM

The darker is better. Maybe a shade darker still would be even better?

Davis · 09-23-2007, 02:15 PM

As much I would love to try a shade darker, that'll have to wait. For now this is pretty satisfying hehe.

fidget · 09-23-2007, 03:11 PM

Looks even better ; P

I think I should pick up some silver for my white mr2 ...

Hellstorm · 09-24-2007, 12:06 AM
