Subaru Replica
First off, before you think it. No i did not get yet another subaru. Im painted this body for our one and only Model. But thought i would share.
Here is the projected Goal. Basically its a 2 tone. Gun Metal Grey bottom, Black Pillars and Roof, Hood/Truck. Pretty simple straight forward paintjob. Heres the before shots. Model did a pretty good attempt. My camera makes it look better than it is though. theres some flaws in it, and it sorta looks more like a primer coat. Kinda dull, But i plan on getting it all fixed and sorted out Progress soon. Last edited by SPR; 12-06-2008 at 02:35 AM.. |

So before you go thinking im crazy, let me explain lol. The tail light lenses were cracked and broken and not up to my standards. the side skirts dont look like the ones on the car, and the front bumper has some slight damange, and again, doesnt look close to the one on the car. So they HAD to go. I will be replacing them with New Side Skirts, A New Front Bumper, and Brand new tail light lenses! Last edited by SPR; 12-06-2008 at 05:44 AM.. |

Lol, heyyyy mine wasn't that bad. It was the fixing then finding a flaw, then trying to fix it again, and the paint sucked :]
Hehe, i'd prefer spr to do it because he's seen the car in person, i havent. :[ And that video, bahhh! lol. Edit: Oh yeah, it has a wide body - erm in the back. Should've been worried about that,

*Edit* Well model, what do you think of the color? It needs a couple more coats. and then some clear coat. But theres your base coat layed out. Last edited by SPR; 12-06-2008 at 06:30 PM.. |

Grey coat is now finished. Its layered perfect, a thin coat of clear for now. (will get more once the black is done)
So i unmasked the roof. Heres some good pictures to show you the difference between the color it was, and the color it is now. (keep in mine the roof is sanded now) |

Looking pretty good, SPR. Keep up the good work and I'm sure M0DEL will be very pleased.
Cheers, Kyle.

Thats why its mouted on a moveable object. I prep it inside. Run out side super fast, spray a coat, and then run back in side and let it dry in the warmth. The nice thing about my "office/workshop" is it was a added on room from what my house originally was, so they people that did it, did a base board heater. So i can crank that up, and keep that room at about 75 degrees for a good temperture, and not have to heat my whole house at 75 killing my electric bill lol. Im currently spraying the black roof now. When i get a few more coats on it ill take some pictures. |
