Nope, haven't written it off, just sprayed it a different colour!! I liked the Nato thing but also wanted to make the car 'mine'! :)

All in all there were about 8 of us, I helped wherever possible but mostly ended up making teas!

Here are the pics going from Kermit to Kit :wack:

Last pic as the legendary Nato...

Starting the prep work which turned out to be a quick rub down with a scotchbrite pad!

The masking begins...

Masking the lights and keeping the Kouki-ish look :nod:

Thought about it for a second!

No going back now...

Not the best time for second thoughts! :no:

Felt a bit better seeing the front...

And now cleaned up, paint settled, wheels cleaned and in natural light

Cheers to Cookwibble and his brother for coming down to see if they could help! :thumbs:

I'm quite impressed with the results, it's a 'satin black' as opposed to matt.

I still think it needs a little something something to brighten it up, usually I'm not a fan of graphics but I think a few well placed stickers could really improve it, any ideas welcomed! :thumbs: And thanks for looking!

Painting maybe nato green would help so it's not the same as every other rattlecan S13 :wack:
 
yeah but it looks the same as all the rattlecan jobs (not commenting on finish :D), just nato looked perfect.
 
Yeah I liked the Nato as well (wouldn't have bought it if I didn't :D ) But just wanted to make it 'mine'! :nod:
 
its just another s13 now though innit? :euge: :confused: :euge:
nato green made it different and much cooler! :(

paint it green again or go battleship grey! :thumbs:
 
Steve D - Cheers mate! :thumbs:

Steve C - I thought you could tell, theres a pots worth on them wheels! :wack: They really need a refurb but they're a lot more bling than they were! :nod:
 
I prefered the Nato, but I think you should either do my SR70 Blackbird style red lines and silver markings or paint it battle ship grey.

Yeah Mitch the cef in Nato would be sexual

:nod: Are you going to go all out camo on it? Or maybe Desert Storm colours? :worthy:

Actually I think I remember it being photoshopped like that already...
