#3: Re: New paint pics :D Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 6:54 am ---- looks nice,love the head liner color ;),but why you didn't paint the top of the tail gate and spoiler in white as well
#4: Re: New paint pics :D Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:02 am ---- tail gate would be nice i think the wheels should of been done first... defo original though
#5: Re: New paint pics :D Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:07 am ---- lookin good
#6: Re: New paint pics :D Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:09 am ---- thanks guys
you wouldnt believe how much of a worry it was getting this done as a PS can neevr really reflect how it will look in real life so i just went for it and was soo worried picking it up and at fist i was not sure bout it but it grew on me over the day and i think it looks the business
as far as getting the tailgate and spoiler done, i dont like it like that i prefer it just to be the actual roof and everyone does the spoiler and tailgate bit
and for the wheels kingdom i know they need doing but i keep putting them off as when i do the wheels it creates about five other jobs (painting the calipers, fitting new wheel arch liners, running cold air feed to wheel arch lining and fitting new fogs that are gloss black instead of matt) aswell as the fact these are gonna be my winter wheels so not overly bothered bout how they look for now, hopefully will have the ones i want for next summer

I am stealing your headliner idea. I don't care. lol. Can you PM me how you did it?
#8: Re: New paint pics :D Author: Barking, Location: sarcasm-in-shedloadsPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:22 am ---- I personally don't see why you did just the roof white.
At least do white pillars (like on a DS3) to make it look part of the car, rather than an individuality statement.
It looks incomplete, like a half-hearted effort. Nothing else on the outside is white.
It looks like you did it to co-ordinate with your neighbour's house/fence
nothing personal, it's not my idea of 'style'

the style is when you pop the bonnet and it matches my engine cover that is half black and half white aswell as my strut brace which is white
and i prefer it to be a statement of individuality than copy another car
EDIT: The brake calipers are going to be going white to match it aswell
#10: Re: New paint pics :D Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:38 am ---- How did you do the roof liner? I love it.
White roof is growing on me.
If i am honest i do not think the pics do it justice.
#11: Re: New paint pics :D Author: namgaj, Location: Chasing Ash, Addaz and Lee........... hopefully catching Addaz and havin fun :PPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:38 am ---- I never noticed the roof at first LOL but looks s**t hot! Fair play for doing something different
#12: Re: New paint pics :D Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:40 am ---- I like it, it's like a mirror'd effect of my roof lols!
I also agree, DONT do the spoiler and the top of the tailgate, that's just epic failness waiting to happen right there, the roof ONLY is to be done
Good effort, it's nice to see something different!

the roof liner was done using some rust oleum direct to vinyl paint from b and q
you have to take the lining out to do it though but its not a hard job
takes about 3 cans and total cost about £20 and an hour or so of your time, the white roof grew on me i must admit as the first moment i got it i looked at it and thought s**t what have i done then the more i look at it im like hmmm its pretty nice actually
and the pics dont do it justice really as its pearlescent white too

ahhh im glad you cleared that up i thought you meant you didnt notice it all last night
im a bit more proud of the interior roof if im honest as its my own work but the outer roof looks really good too
#20: Re: New paint pics :D Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:27 am ---- headlining looks awesome not too keen on the roof though
#21: Re: New paint pics :D Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:31 am ---- Roof is a bit meh for me
Uz (soon to be me too) have already done the headlining bud

fair one didnt know it had been done before
so maybe im second but still its a good mod you need to get it done soon man it makes all the difference
how you goin about it you using the spray aswell or actually retrimming it?
i knew the roof would be hit and miss but trust me looks better in the flesh cause you cant really catch the pearlescent in a picture
and as said main thing is i like it, tbh i think it grows on you more than anything as i at first thought i had made a big mistake doing it when i first took it out of the bodyshop but now i love it
EDIT: seen uz's thread and he has retrimmed, thats way too much like hard work bit of direct to vinyl and it looks the s**t man so in a way im still the first to do it this way Last edited by drunknmunky on Fri Apr 29, 2011 1:56 pm; edited 1 time in total
