[munky30]

chrome+matt black = Norfolk Coneheads.....

Actually, matt black and chrome can look pretty cool, on the right car.

That's like crossing humans with chimps.... Wait, thats been done... Norfolk.

OI! I'm from norfolk

If the cap fits....

[Hath]

[munky30]

You can see my towel in the 2nd pic.. I was drying it off without realising he had a 6 sec exposure on the shot he was taking

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Hadn't noticed the towel!! The matt makes for an interesting finish to shoot. No pesky reflections!! You have some excellent pics mate

[kabeer]

cool work and like the rear badge(tramp)..what plans next ?...A RAT E30 ?...

Munky, give the lips of your wheels a good polish and it would look even better, or better still get yourself a set of bbs wheels (i know how much you love them)

[old_skool]

ah ok... I'm just quoting things I've seen mentioned on here

*cough*

eeeew... shiny bits on my car, good god man no.

I'm getting some borbet a's. I will be spraying the polished dish black.

Dameon... max didnt say that... I did, and why are you coughing?

[maxfield]

Didn't think i said that

I now have the urge to strip down my bmx and paint it matin black with bits satin

[tailoutcharlie]

car looks like its up to no good parked under the railway bridge there.


could we have the UKs first automobile asbo

Got to be honest, I thought it was going to look shit.

But it doesn't it looks good, I can see the line between Matt and Gloss/Satin being a pain in the arse for trapping wax or polish. Actually do you need to polish a matt black car?

Munkaaay why didn't you get a better wing before your paint job you nutter!

Overall impression: PHAT

thats the point of rat look, every dent makes the car look better

[Jon_Bmw]

Fairy liquid and water.... then towel dry or it leaves water marks.

Whats polish?

I have a new wing on the way. The window of opportunity to spray it was one weekend. My mate bought a new house and I used his garage. Had to get it done before he moved his A30 into the garage the week after.

I can spray a wing in the kitchen so I figured I'd just leave it as it is for now... I kinda like the dent though, gives me somewhere worry free to kick it when it p*sses me off.

all depends on the payout tbh fella

my heart says keep but we shall see.
i think theres a good chance i,ll keep her if they give me enough to get it all sorted

[munky30]

If they payout for a full repair, dont,... fix the bits that need fixing, leave the dents, spray it matt black, and spend the money for body repair/paint on the engine

[e30-320i]

when i read your old posts saying you wanted to do this i thought it would look a pig.but imho that looks awesome love the stripe too nice work

[binxy69]

I like the matt black, but I don't think a cab would look as good> WHatdoya think?

get photoshopping then see what YOU think

[munky30]

Not sure if a cab would pull it off... cabs are a bit.. showy.... for a rat type look...

Beat it up with a sledgehammer and then try it..

[munky30]

Never managed to do gloss to matt in photoshop.

Tailoutcharlie managed a fairly convincing one of his car...

[march109]

[munky30]

somewhere in this thread...

[tailoutcharlie]

[tailoutcharlie]

get o rough idea, as munky said goin gloss to matt is tricky unless you actually know how to use photoshop properly ...which i dont
