    Just trying to really even out the color, want a clean back end since I de-badged and de-emblemed it.

    No one will know what it is unless they see the front.

    Thanks, but this is the concept drawing of what its going to look like in a couple of weeks from a fellow board member:



    Disregard the vents, didnt come out properly on the picture, the tailgate will have the middle blue so i really want a clean back, thats why theres no emblem or badge.

    Hell, I even molded where the quarter panels meet because of that ugly line:

    That's the before picture, after the paint is done, it should look like this, my paint skills suck, i know:

    Spray Žem, good results have been seen

    Actually I was thinking about getting some from the scrapyard, just to practice with the transparent black spray that IŽm gonna buy eventually.. but then a new problem arises, IŽll have to get amber front blinkers to paint too.. Arggghhhh

    As long as they have tail lights for the touring, they could be from mars for all I care.

    Chinese parts on a German made car. I smell disaster, or rather electrical problems in the near future.

    those are covered in either paint, or vinyl. they are not 'made that way'.

    save yourself the money and shipping and take yours to be professionally sprayed with candy black and clear.'
    RE the 'stripe'
    ARGGGGHHHH, my eyes!!! It's 1995 minitruckin/spo coms!!!

    if you are going to do that, for gods sake use vinyl so you can take it off later and not ruin the integrity of the vehicle.
    Vents are gayer than heath ledger in brokeback.

    I dont want that exact look that they are offering, it's a bit much for my liking. I'm going to open the Tail Light, paint the Amber's with Red and then light-medium tint the whole Tail Light for a more even look.

    The fender vents are actually E60 M5 Replica Vents WITHOUT the M5 Badge.
    The hood vents are custom and wont look anything like the picture.
    It's Estroil Blue that going down the middle of the hood, roof and tail gate as well as the side moldings and bumper impact strips.
    Clear Coat is getting Estroil Blue Flakes in it to blend the whole stripe into the car...

    If the final result isn't what I hope I'll just finish paintint the car completely Estroil Blue.
