well im looking for a cruizer/show car with a bit of kick but nothing to wow people under the bonnet but enough to take a stock v8 that rolls out of the factory, so my aim is 200rwkw thats later tho, not too fussed
respray is next fella's , went shopping today, brought my self a new power sander as i blew my last one up, and some good grade paint sand paper...
just need a 2HP compressor/ spray gun but yeah ill borrow my mates dads one to do the front bar, then get my own and do my own respray in my garage(that means i get to do the attenchion to detail not have to worry about using someone elses facilities)
ive spent 6 hours sanding the bumper today, filling, then sanding, filling, then sanding, ect.... trying to get ALL the dints out of it
they didnt have my perl flakes in stock so im gonna wait till they have it in stock and i actually have a spray gun then order a few bags...
but paint job will be mint... i dont care if the cars 10 diffrent colours for 5 weeks ill do it!!!!!!!!
i thought about new interior, but i like the design of the calais one.. so i got thinking... why not get it retrimmed in more, exciting colours aye???
i like cloth, HATE leather, it gets sticky and just feels crap
maybe getting PaRaDoX stiched into the head rests...
also going to get custom dials and tint headlights with a mild tint and spray headlight surrounds black for that stealthy look, then going to TINT THE HELL out of the rear tail lights for a gangsta look.. been thinking about 5% rear window tint, and 10% on the side windows
got lots of idea's so well see what happens
btw bumper is first
im thinking about a full respray, Black with blue perl

Don't go too crazy on the tint if you're painting the car black. Just imho you'd want the side windows around 30%, otherwise the whole car just gets too intensely... black. You want to show off that interior, anyway
