October 24, 200520 yr Author comment_78677 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. Edited October 24, 200520 yr by Tiger Report
October 24, 200520 yr comment_78705 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 (?) ... Report
October 24, 200520 yr Author comment_78711 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 Report
October 24, 200520 yr comment_78715 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... Report
October 24, 200520 yr Author comment_78718 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! Report
October 25, 200520 yr comment_78852 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. Report
October 25, 200520 yr Author comment_78891 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 Report
October 25, 200520 yr comment_78905 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 Report
October 25, 200520 yr Author comment_78910 You suggesting to have Cobra Stripes ASWELL as Tiger Stripes on the car? Or am I reading it wrong?... Sorry if I am :D Report
October 25, 200520 yr comment_78917 No Just tiger stripes. And very subdued Edited October 25, 200520 yr by SLOTH Snr Report
October 25, 200520 yr Author comment_78919 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 Report
October 25, 200520 yr comment_78925 A cousin had a Mazda 808 painted in that style - midnight blue with pearl flames (red Ithink). Looked great in the sun. Report
