Nato No More!

aweome stuff. the finish looks good.

is it done with rattle cans? how long did it take? i'm considering spraying mine as I have some damage to fix but the colour of my car is actually really nice when it's clean and polished but awful when it's dirty, which sadly it spends most of it's life being the latter. anyway, just wondering how long it took adn how much it cost?

top job!
 
perhaps NATO green decals now to bring back a bit of old look?

i think it looks pretty hip but the Green did look Ghetto....and different which gets my vote! :smash:

Either way its a gud job none the less... :nod:

Yeah, should be able to square you away with a couple of litres. (Doesn't take much)

Cheers dude, it took 90 minutes to spray and about an hour to prep. A friend of the family has his own spray shop so I got away with £90 all in which included a tip for him. The finish is good, but obviously not like a new car, its a drift bitch after all! :nod:

I wouldn't have done it if it was mega money, just never had a car sprayed before so it was something different to do! Also if I had a daily driver I probably would have been more inclined to leave it as was but as I don't...
 
i like both...:nod: i wasthinking maybe should done the opposite of what others do.... have left the nato on the roof, bonnet and rear tailgate

I did think of that too, but thought I'd get sick of explaining why it was like that too everyone who ever saw it! :D


The main thing is I like it though I have no idea what to do with it from here on in!

do what you want and like and if you are happy who really gives a shit innit :) :thumbs:
 
Hmm, seeing how Satin Black makes me think i prefer Matt Black now, Satin is almost too black if you know what i mean, almost as black as factory black.

Green did look good though.
