That sounds good man, maybe you could find someone that could do a photoshop of it for you.I'm still not sure what a good deal is, and exactly how much its gunna cost me for the hood and roof. I've gotten prices ranging from 1000 - 2000....i think its gunna be more like 700-800$$$ a peice.

Thanks man, ya you should do it...we could be twins. You know how it is though, i just want to try and keep it different. i think everybody wants that though. I'm leaning towards the WW hood too, but i dunno about carbon fibre....the texture of it would mess with the paint job.

So is there a meet tonight, what time? I'll probably stop by before hitting GT's.

Just outside of Strath theres this shop called "22 Auto Body". I know the owner and hes good friends with the family. He told me to do the sanding myself in my garage, which I will do because it'll save me some money. I guess I'll be dropping a grand on materials alone because House of Kolor flakes are pretty expecive, but I don't want too much flake. The other reason it would be expencive is because if I use the House of Kolor flakes, I might as well use their stage paints and clear coats and everything too.

I read your other thread about looking for a place to get the paintjob done. These guys are really good at paint but they don't always work with flakes and such. I have an HCI magazine that has a DIY of paint detailing with designs and stuff though. I dunno. I'm still kinda sketchy about my paint choice and everything because I'm not sure if it'll match with the simple look I am going for. Ah well, peas!

I'm at work right now. I have a buddy that could probably help you set up your system. He has a JL 500.1 amp from the Power Station and he also has 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch 12". The setup sounds SO good right now and its in a damn K Car! Hes looking at getting new subs though.

Painting over top a c/f hood won't leave the texture that bad. It all depends on the quality of the hood. There's a couple of people in LAC that have their c/f hoods painted and it looks pretty good.

And yes... there is a meet tonight at 6pm Blockbuster masonville. I'll be there.

Hmm...I never heard about that place outside of strath. All of the places i've talked to were in T.O. and suaga....i'd probably be driving my car up on Saturday and leaving it till the next Saturday so they could do there job right. 1000 of flakes is alot but i can see why it would be so expecive. Since i'm only doing my hood and roof, the materials wont be as much as yours will be but the airbrushing and other things they need to do will be $$$$.

APRboy/Big - R1 style tells me that you know a guy that does really good work in paint? Does he do complex stuff like i'm going for, cuase i'm just at the point where i'm getting prices and shop references. I wanna make sure i get it done, nothing's worse than a bad paint job.

 
Rep Power: 0

hmm....maybe. I'll ask around for some close up pics of painted CF hoods. The only thing i was concened about was seeing the lines of the carbon fibre threw the paint. Cuase the marbel effect is going to be fairly subtle and i figured the two wouldnt mesh well. I dunno though, i'll ask around, and the paint shops should know too.


6 pm...what time is it going till????

 
Rep Power: 370

You have to remember when you get a C/F hood, it's not bare Carbon Fibre. There's going to be a clear coat over top so you're not technically spraying paint on top of the actual Carbon weaves.

As for the meet, it's starts at 6pm and we hang out at BB until 7:30pm where we cruise down to the Canadian Tire at WhiteOaks mall. You're free to leave whenever you want though.... I give you permission... lol

So your going to do this very soon by the sounds of it..? Sounds like it'll look wicked man, can't wait to see it!

 
Rep Power: 302

Sorry one more thing, if you DO do it in Toronto or something, make sure you don't go in with as a big question mark or else you'll end up paying far too much. Try doing some research about paint if you want specialty paint and try talking to other companies to get some info that you can use for pricing. I dunno dude, just my .02!
