I'm just glad you didn't choose that blue.

Oh god that blue was bad.

Don't do a color change unless you know what you are doing. You will devalue your car by a bunch. It takes hundreds of hours to do one correctly. I complete disassembly. Doors off, hood and trunk off, engine out, etc. When I did mine I counted 39 parts that I had to paint separate. It took three trips into the paint booth to get all the parts in color. I went from the stock white to Dover white which is a pearl/darker white.

^ +1, 1078 was repainted and it looks like sh*t and was not done right at all. i can see white everywhere from it not having everything removed and sprayed.

 

[bmxr152]

Well i Dont have a problem pulling the motor or doors. I was thinking if i do a metallic black since the car is already Nile black it would look close enough.
Or try and get the same color in a gallon. I was quoted 500$ for a gallon of x68 Nile black though.

 

[transparentdsm]

it says onyx black, but its code x68 and its only 280 a gallon click in the search bar type in x68 go to page 3 and click the 1992 mitsubishi one, then scroll down and look for x68

 

[bmxr152]

Okay i might just do that then. X68 is the Nile black right. Thats what my vine plate says. So they must also call it onyx black?

 

[transparentdsm]

thats what im assuming. look at my build thread for 138 and check out the jdm hood, i bought 2 cans of spray paint and it looks perfect, i just need to clear coat it.

 

[bmxr152]

Yeah it looks nice. Hey does anyone know where to find jdm front bumpers. Ive been looking but i cannot find anything. I really need a new bumper if Im going to paint.

 

[transparentdsm]

if you have the money, ebay. other then that put up a want to buy ad for it. im gonna wait till i have like 1300 bucks saved and try to get both and if need be buy them off ebay, but that wont be for a while.

 

[bmxr152]

Currently there are none on ebay. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I'd say go metalic black thats what I would go with since the car is already Black might aswell do somthing different that just me but I think Metalic Black would look good on our cars . And as for devalue its already a money pit not sure how much it could get devalued /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif but if you think Metalic Black would look good go for it I would like to see how it would turn out.
