kiahn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 nice exhaust on that car, pointing straight into the ozone :dance: personally i think that the green paint would look good, maybe in a diff shade of green Quote

bLinded_ Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I think it looks pretty good. Very bright, but good :dance: This <click> is the only real close colour scheme I've seen. Not 2 tone, but has the bright green. Quote
Rola Drifter Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) In here http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=27054 halfway down the 1st page, is a pic of a green & black 1. It looks better in the picture than it did when i was standing beside it. In the end the choice is up to you & what you preffer. Good luck with it mate :dance: Edited February 27, 2009 by Rola Drifter Quote

I'm painting with this colour scheme at about the same time i drop in a 4age that I'm gonna rebuild over the next 6 months, gonna paint the engine green too :y: i hope to have one of the best looking keto's in perth :dance: Quote

kiahn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 nah definitely not going cheap with this aye ive got a compresser, spray gun and hoses. its better to take the time to get things right the first time. I'm trying to debate whether to do the paint now and start saving for my conversion to 4age or do painting after 4age but i am def leaning towards doing the paint first so noone can copy :dance: over the next year i plan on spending over 10 grand on my keto, most people say its a waste but i think when a 26 yr old corolla can beat $40 000 cars its worth it my ultimate goal is to beat my dad's new rx8 Quote
SLW42 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 paint 1st then do then when you pull the motor out of the car and what not to do the conversion then pain the engine bay aye!!! thats show i am doing mine!! and plus yellow isnt really a colour many people wanna copy lol so i think i am safe Quote
kiahn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 mr ae71,, i was looking at one of your topics and i noticed you removed your boot lid seal. is there new ones you can buy? or do you have to reuse the old one.. coz mine is screwed when i start the paintjob ill take heaps of photos so i can add it to my projects thread Quote
SLW42 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i think so man my seal isnt all that broken aye it was just around parts of the seal that was fkt so yeah i'm sure other members will have seals laying around aye!!! cheers Justin Quote
kiahn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 thanks I'm gonna do tha painting probs in the next month, hopefully ill get the bonnet, boot, roof and pillars sprayed black so that it looks half decent Quote
SLW42 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) yeah bud just do what i have done for the time being till you actually have the time to rip it all apart (if it's a daily) and pull everything off it has taken me about just under a 3 weeks (if you don't include the time i have spent on other areas working on the car) to do my paint and even then it is still dodgy as hell if you get up close and personal with it lol but when i have the cash and time i shall pass it on to somebody and get it done properly!!! i would like to see it when it is finished being painted oh btw found a boot seal http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-COROLLA-KE30...A1%7C240%3A1318 Edited February 27, 2009 by mr ae71 Quote
kiahn Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 yeh ill start a project thread sometime soon. your a LEGEND!!! that boot seal will look way better than my half white seal from when i painted and forgot to cover it up Quote
