thats something I dont understand. many people will go out and paint the exterior, and then do things like rebuild the suspension , rebuild or swap engines etc and take the chance of damage the new paint job,
just dont get it
but thats me
id do all my wrenching first painting things like engine bays at that time, and then the bod,

Wow, I missed this, I've been busy.
FWIW, I think it looks like a $1300 paint job. And I think it looks good. It's not a show car... But this is r3v so expect criticism. It could've been a $10,000 Lambo orange pearl paint job and you'd have had a whole bunch of thumbs-ups and just as many people telling you you wasted your damn money or should've done something different.
If you want your car to look good at 0ft, 2ft, 10ft, 20ft, or a football field away, and it looks that good to you, then I'm happy for you. That's not to say that there isn't some good advice in this thread, because there certainly is. I encourage those reading to disregard the harshness but pay attention to the criticism.
Nice color, btw, and I think you accomplished the goal for originality. Enjoy and please don't let the comments stop you from posting pics once you get the wheels painted and do other things.Originally posted by FunfGanMy car is so racecar it makes peoples head's hurt. Literally.Originally posted by lamboThis is r3v, your logic is useless. We went race-prepped, factory-built, street cars for the price of a loaf of bread.

I bet his muffler is blue too along with the spare wheel well.
I also read that the roundel was taped off LOL?
Poor preparation usually leads to shoddy work.

Originally posted by Exodus_2pt0 View PostYou act like the oil cooler is essential... Would I paint it? No, it would look dumb. Will it make a difference? Not likely.
Yes, it does make a difference. Shows the difference between a good prep job, and a half assed one. someone that cares enough about their reputation going out the door looking like a half assed spray bombed POS and a professional job CARES, and that MAKES A DIFFERENCE
