I decied to post my finished paint jobs for both my supra and RSX. I finished my supra a while back ago but was basicly too lazy to put it up. Was cleaning up the basement and came across my old RSX. I will admit that I did a horrible paint job the first time so i wanted it to have better looking paint. I just finished the RSX around 20 mins ago.

Supra before

RSX after (green/blue/purple color flip paint)

I wish i had an accutal chassis insted of a rolling one for my RSX but i messed up the ep and my soldering skills are still horrible.

I had an old strainer laying around and i wasn't about to go out and buy some metal mesh so i cut the whole mesh part out and used it for the holes. I'll do the same thing to the RSX once the paint cures.

here is what a strainer looks like:

Nice paint work! Good color selection.

Nice work! :D

that flip paint you used....
that green looks exactly saem as the one i'm using, i hope it's not the same one as thats my civic colour down the drain :P
although it is such a nice colour so i'll do it anyway.
it goes purple and blue also.....
looks lovely though

@ firebird999: I liked how it looked before as well, but it can be easily done by anyone. So i worked on it more to make it one of a kind.

@ WhiteMKIV: The paints i used where Kustom Kolor(House of Kolor) base coat(black) and the green/blue/purple flip from them, and dupli-color cc.

@ Patrol: My camera is horrible and it is also hard to capture the color change with a flash. I might try and take a picture in the sun after i buy some polish (I haven't even polished it yet and its already shiny :lol: ).
