FTO AUSTRALIA

not sure to stick with the black or go something diff. is it possible to get a hint of red or silver with black. need some ideas. ive pretty much got the whole black thyme cranking.

clearcoat with coloured metalic flake mixed in?? plenty of colours to pick from.

black with red flakes! Do it now

yeh thts what i was thinking. just have to find a decent spray painter in my area. plus i rly need a new paint job coz some dip sh*t ripped off my p plat off my boot and took paint off and ive got stone chips and sun spots.

anyone know how much a whole car spray would cost roughly (i know it varies a lot)

just for normal stock colours like red black silver etc... and is it harder to paint over red than it is to over say white or does it all just get sanded back anyway?

im goin to price some sh*t morrow when i fond out i let u know.

if i was you id get a fresh jet black spray done, would look sweet imo

ive noticed the black paint used on new cars are really different to cars around 95-00 could just be the fading, but even good cond. old models just dont have the same black if that makes sense.

ie. brand new beemer or aston martin in black is so hot

ive just got back from pricing and the cheapest is the best. for just doin what i want is gonna cost me 6500 and for air brushing and insert its gonna cost 8000. im gonna get black with a red pearl i saw pics and art work from these guys and its awsome. im gonna get air brushing round the fto badge and wheel arches. the mob im goin to is called paint doctor. if u have a look at the new street machine they done a torana init. its the yellow one.

From what Ive heard about those guys they are pretty good
Not being biased at all but green pearl would of looked better joking
Should look really good, when are you getting it done?

$8,000?? omg my whole car cost that much !! lol

in a few weeks i hope. need to replace my left hand rims coz my ex scratched the hell out of them.(tears). ill come show u after it gets done sophia.lol yeh its only 3000 less then what i paid for mine.all i need now is a new alternator i found a new one for 430 and a new tx valve for my ac.

Yeah would love to see it Mine goes in on Monday to get the rear bar, both back quarters and passenger door resprayed, can't wait for it to all be finished with.
Did you visit that link I sent you? About the wrecked GPX?

yeh but i think simon jumped on it. im gonna get my mate from pialba auto sparkys to get one for my rather new the used.

Yeah better to buy local too, get it straight away

yeh. its kinda sh*t i have to use my olds car till i get it fixed and when my car goes gets a facelift i have to skate everywhere.

What kind of car is it? When mine was getting fixed last week and for next week during paint, Ive also got a little lancer to drive so its not too bad

sanata its ok. i learnt to drive in it. but no usb connection for ipods so kinda a downer.

Spams his own thread

Black with red pearl was the colour I was going to do my FTO .. I originally was going to do the Lancer in that colour but opted for the Evo X blue instead ... I think black with the red pearl was too much for the lancer...

So I know what you mean about how it will look ..
