Default Getting my sc3 in the paint booth thread!

whats up guys i havent posted in a while what I have been up to just been laying low collecting parts and such. Well if you dont remember i had and ugly bomex kit. The kit was on the car when I bought it it took me forever to get rid of it I still have some stuff if you want any pm me.






so about a year ago i bought a 97 bumper in real bad shape it took me 2 weeks to fully strip it down and get it in primer



after i bought some vertex fenders they were in real bad shape i had to re-glass some areas and do some body work this how they looked



got some primer on there


so i waited for 2 years to figure out what kit i wanted and i loved the evolution exclusive rear lip it was hard to find but once i found one i jumped on it. it was in bad shape with stress cracks also but i worked on it the passed couple of days and got it primered



So making a stop at Shine auto a few months back met Ken really kool guy, he hooked me up with some auto couture replica sides here i am trying to fit every thing they fit really good and they are very light



so enough of the primer parts I got in the booth today for the first time at work today and painted my vertex fender it came out really nice.



sorry about the bad lighting in the pictures they are all off my iphone. Anyways i will be painting the rest of it this summer so stay tuned please help me stay motivated im a 19yr with no money so it helps. Any tips on what front lip to use? big win? im also in the market for 97 door moldings thanks.

I am wondering if you know that 97 bumper and Shine skirts will look off? I believe the skirts hang lower than the front bumper..

Yeah 6000k is too blue for me as well i switched to 5000k.

Where are you getting it painted at? I would like to paint my bumper

yeah i know that, I did all the pre fitting myself and im thinking of saving up for a big win lip or a wise replica and extending it an inch. Im painting my bumper at my job its cedar glen auto body we do great work wouldnt trust my car anywhere else ppg paint the best on the market.

Noobie909, looking sooo much better! Glad you got rid of that previous kit, lol. If you could find one, try and get the BIG WIN lip...I think this will be best IMO. You should be able to find some decent used 97+ sides in the for sale forumns. Or pm Aliga, he usually has some good parts or can get what you're looking for. Great reputable seller too!

I have to admit that original Voltron kit was hideous. I can't wait to see the new look completed.
