New to the forums. Freshly painted E30

[Rook12V]

I have a couple "in process" shots of the paint work.




Here's a little of an interior shot, the seats are badly faded and I will be getting new covers for them soon. They're Corbeau LG1s and I've been VERY happy with them, comfort wise.


The rear bumper trim definitely needs replacement or at least refurbishing. I'm hoping I can resurface and paint it and have it look good without replacement, its an eyesore.

I did coat the blinkers on the taillights so that they're all red, its a great look.

The rear bumper trim will clean up very nicely with light sanding followed by an acetone wipe down.

Car looks great!

Wow- that is some deep paint! I don't think those wheels and stance are doing that paint any favors though.

[Rook12V]

Definitely agreed that the stance and wheels need a change. I like the wheel style, but they're too small and they barely cleared my OE calipers, I even had to take a file to my left front to make the wheel fit.

I've got spoilers to go on soon, wheels and brakes next, then suspension. Absolutely a work in progress. I love the car and can't wait to get it where I want it.

I recently did a dash swap for one with no cracks, and replaced my front windshield and tinted the car. I've also got a new wiper console and motor ready to install.

Nice! Looks good!

[N2MYE30]

Amazing! No amount of buffing will ever bring my paint to look like new. Dangit! It looks like Ive gotta get my car in a booth. If you dont mind me asking the cost for the paint job? Coats? Clear?

[ohthejosh]

looks better now imo. good job. i approve of the color and painted DBs

[Rook12V]

I can't really comment on the bodywork or paint costs, as I'm good friends with someone who runs a body shop. I don't even know how many coats, but yes, definitely clear coat over top of everything.

wow, your car came out really nice!
