Tiger Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) Yup! I think this settles it. It had to be seen. I like this idea even more now... Now... do I do that to half the car? In portions? Or the whole thing? And cookie... it's the standard 6 cylinder.. not the turbo model.. I think that's his next car... The MPS6 or whatever model it is. :D haha Ancullen and Rolln16.... good mind work there! I take my hat off to the both of you.

Dan Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I reckon just paint it exactly like the 6, but tiger gold instead of silver. I think thats what your talking about, but calling them stripes (?) ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yeah, the color of the car will be Tiger Mica, but the stripes will be painted in a lighter shade of Tiger Mica to give it the same effect as what you see on the 6. Funny enough, when you see the car in real life, you walk up close to it and the flames looks the same color as the rest of the car, when it actually fact it isn't! It's real tough! I like it. I'm thinking this is the design style I want. I just need to map out where I'm gonna place the stripes..... in a smart and sexy manner :D hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 So you're going for stripes still??? Personally I reckon ghost stripes look mean, same with ghost flames. Your car'll look bitchin' when its finished.... Inspiration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 HE HEEEEE!! Thanks :D Won't be a cheap exercise... but it'll be for my pleasure... so it'll be worth it. I ain't gonna sell a car I'll be putting so much into. If something goes broke on it... FIX IT and KEEP IT!!! Can't stand guys that buy cars, do em up and sell them! What for!

ancullen Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 All sounds pretty good Tiger. And just because I'm a picky bastard, the Mazda 6 that we get in Australia only comes with the 2.3L 4-cylinder motor. Of course we now get the Mazda 6 MPS as well, which is the same 2.3L 4-cylinder, but with direct injection and a turbo, and AWD. There is a 3.0L V6 model available overseas, with the option of FWD or AWD. The plans for the stripes are sounding excellent anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Funny how the votes for getting the stripes done in portions is now creeping up slowly :D Good hint, hey? hahahaha This thread is now getting my paws of approval! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLOTH Snr Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Do half the car like in the picture. Then do the stripes in the same colour but with a pearl added. It's just a thought. By the way our stirpes went so big because the blue paint was limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 You suggesting to have Cobra Stripes ASWELL as Tiger Stripes on the car? Or am I reading it wrong?... Sorry if I am :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLOTH Snr Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) No Just tiger stripes. And very subdued Edited October 25, 2005 by SLOTH Snr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of the metallic or pearl in the stripes, but definitely subtle like the Mazda's paint job. Damn, the more I look at that car, I LOVE IT!!! hahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 A cousin had a Mazda 808 painted in that style - midnight blue with pearl flames (red Ithink). Looked great in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
