Cool On Going Evo&S2000 Project

Hey guys ,
Well after a year and few month with my car the paint job on my car started to anoy me alot.. Mitsubishi did a really crapy job on painting the evo's .. So I decided to paint my EVO..

Well I wanted something speacil .. my car is red in color.. and I did not want red no more.. I though of blue.. then yellow, then I saw an Orange Lambo.. The one in the pix below.. It was parked under my bro office building..I loved it.. So my bro and I decided to paint it that color.. My Evo and His S2000..

VERY cool. Nice idea. If you two go to shows together, you'll have a good shot at winning. I can't wait to see the results.

I just came back from the garage..
The paint has already started on it.. hopefully the car will be half way done with in 5~6 days.. then polishing it and fitting all the bodypart togather will take again 2 ~ 3 days if not 4 days.. then all I got to do is drive it home..
Will upload new pix tommorow.

Guaranteed to have at least one more coat of clearcoat than a stock Evo!


Can't wait to see the finished products, buddy.

That's a nice garage.

Anyway, it's got to be more than $3000 for that kind of work. Painting the door jams and stripping the car down like that. Painting behind bumpers...Woah!
