Went to the dentist today....

[CasopoliS]

Ok not really.... but I did put HiBoost on my IC with radiator paint. I happened to clean the IC with fine sand paper and a toothbrush... it works really well without bending fins (thumb)
I had a friend that does vinyl work make me a reverse decal to use as a stencil. All in all, I think it went well. Since the logo is fairly linear, it blends a bit with the IC... up close you can tell what it says though. Enjoy!

The garbage bags kept the patient clean....

Up close shot of the last coat, and the toothbrush that did the cleaning...

The paint... which cost over $18.00 with shipping....

FINAL PRODUCT:

Up close... overall the fins look good for never having a grill...

Parked in its usual spot... I hate apartment living....

My friend also printed the decal 'non-reverse' in case I want to put it anywhere. Maybe under the hood or something... I don't want to over do it.

Thanks for looking, feedback please.

i like it, maybe a little bigger would have been better but looks good nonetheless.

 

[Ryoga28]

Looks great! I do agree with CChris that it needs to be bigger.

Good job, it looks really nice. Somewhat small, but nice. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the stok grill in place would you?(with IC)

I think I saw some Perrin IC's with the logo... and the logo was huge. I was scared it would have turned out that way so I went smaller, maybe too small. My car is subtle on the outside, no decals, graphics, etc... so I kinda wanted to keep it simple. To keep to logo to scale, adding a little more height means adding a lot more length. Thanks for the input guys. Still better than before...

 

[Ryoga28]

Nothing wrong with that...I like the result regardless of the sizing. Good job

 

[CasopoliS]

Oh yea... if anyone gets the paint watch out, the nozzle sucks and it sprays like crap. It got all over the place, but luckily I practiced a bit before to get a feeling for the nozzle...

 

[Ryoga28]

Before using a "fresh" can of spray paint, you need to flip the can and spray just to clean out the nozzle...I found this out the hard way.

 

[Wiggles422]

i like the size. the perrin size (i think) is a little too big. i think your's is a good medium

 

[orlandomsp]

I can't beleive the can of paint cost 18 bucks, even with shipping.

 

[CasopoliS]

Yea Eastwood was the only place I found that has it...

Shipping was a bit high. Since the logo is smaller, I probably could have used normal or high temp paint rather than 'radiator' paint. I figured if I spent the $ on the IC, then I might as well spend the $ to get the best paint for it. Time will tell.....

Looks awesome!!! Not to small, not to big...perfect!

I love those wheels.... I ordered a set of the 2-piece 18's last month. They're telling me 3 months to get them in. :-/


Nice car.

 

[CasopoliS]

Thanks, I love them too. Very light. I like anything with "RAYS FOUNDRY" stamped in it . The car needs washed bad.... and I need to take the friggin limo tint off the front two windows!

 

[UnNaturalinc]

Why do you refer to them as Volk though? Those are Ggames.... Ggames, Volk, Gram Lights, Lexion are all separate brands manufactured by Rays.

 

[CasopoliS]

Yea crap I forgot to change my sig when I found this out. I changed it on another forum but not this one. Not trying to be fake (hand) oops.

 

[Protege52003]

looks good......

BTW, i go to the dentist the 18'th. i hate the dentist!!!!

 

[CasopoliS]

Everyone hates to go to the dentist..... Jeremy Hotz (comedian) did a pretty funny skit about dentists once.

 

[OldYellerSpeed]

eeeeee dope sir...... (first)

I have a stencil that a board member made me that says Mazdaspeed in the offical font or whatever it is, but I dont have a FMIC anymore so it just hangs out in my office.
