I am leaning toward a new red design, but the reason it is a ****ty job was because it was my first full paintjob with a hand brush.
@ xmodifier07 i was never to fond of the stock blue.

I think a jdm red or a metallic red might do. What do you think if the side decals i have on it should i redo them or trash em?

Darkmagik
06-09-2007, 10:08 PM
Yea i might add one more coat of the red but i dont know i might use 3-4 clear coats instead.
Jon

i would do 1 more then 2 clear coats so it doesnt hurt the paint as bad if it flips over.
Darkmagik
06-09-2007, 10:12 PM
You know i actually never thought about the car flipping over. I still need gen1 suspension upgrade.

mustanglover
06-09-2007, 10:21 PM
trust me it will flip with a stage 2 i kno that what that clear coat would come in good use for.
Darkmagik
06-09-2007, 11:04 PM
Truthly i never use any of my gen1s because i dont have the **** suspension upgrade. If i did have them yes i would run them all the time just to prove all the people i know gen1s are great cars.
@okoye i like the kit thats on it right now i also cut out the front bumpers vents.

I would say redo it. Redo it and paint it white, if you want and mabye paint the hood black, for a nice clean look. But it's up to you what you want to do. I also sent you a PM about something.
Darkmagik
06-10-2007, 03:26 PM
I like the red BTW its w/o clear coat now. and i never got your PM.

I just sent my PM right when I got the email thingy. If you keeping it red, then paint the hood black :p .
Darkmagik

I think the white makes it stand out more white/red then black.
