I did a thing, a _very_ green thing!

[Toni]

The Spyder thread got me hyped again about 3s. Speaking of 1gens, here is what I got going on with the Stealth.

I'm just gonna drop the juicy bits first.









Sample of what is to come. Gonna be real nice with the stealth's black parts.



A look outside in overcast lighting.



Here's an engine bay walk about. I corrected the color a bit but it's hard with the LED shop lights.



Time lapse of the whole process

Ooh, that's a fun color.

The time lapse gif is pretty cool too.

That's.... Green.

Actually it looks damn nice. I've always liked that shade. Kinda want to do my MR2 in that. Nice work

[Chris GTO TT]

Wow that's awesome.

[ChargerX3]

Don’t let anyone try to convince you that it’s shocker yellow. They’re full of bullshit.

That green loos great though.

Love the Timelapse too.

I don't like green and... I like that.

I am so confused.

Looks like an Acura to me

Thanks ya'll. I've been looking for a nice green for the stealth for a while now. Pretty much after I saw Han's jeep Rescue Me green on a 2nd gen stealth. I didn't think that color would work for a 1g though. I haven't been looking very hard, just seeing what colors are out there. I had considered the viper Snakeskin pearl green but it was "too green," it needs to be on a round body. I think it would work well on a 2nd gen vr4.

To me greens are tough, it's either too dark and boring (like factory), too bright and vivid, or just plain barf lol. I think this color works well because it has a lot of metallic in it, silver/whiteish I guess. So in light, it reflects a lot making it look more silverish green.

We'll see what happens when the entire car is done in it. The metallic is going to make it probably look bad in some angles/light but we'll see.

Here's the paint before spraying out the test fender. So purdy. You can see how when the metallic is closer to the surface, it's more silver green, then as it falls away, turns more rich green then lime.

Very cool. Did you see the guy who took off his sunroof and put a flat roof on it? He said he wouldn’t recommend doing a roof swap to anyone. Lol.

Well, that's just a dumb post lol. Of course you wouldn't recommend this to anyone that doesn't know shit about crap.

Dustin Burton I wouldn’t say huge pain just lost of patients it the back two corners is probably the hardest part it’s breezed welded and hard to get in there to cut

[DCIV]

I mean shit about crap is important. Lol

Toni, you seen the (older) posts of people trying to rebuild stock shocks. Have you looked into that at all?

I think it's great and bold!

Are you going to do any contrasting bits? Black would be easy and obvious. Some fuchsia or purple would be even more bold. Not much...just a few accents.

Love the timelapse too!

I've been trying to get him to paint it black from the "beltline" up, like the NSX the paint is from
