Ae92 Painted flares

[freakinbox]

So as the rust got worse on the fender flares I decided to finally take care of it, by painting the flares black. The strip on the back that goes around is because of a small spot of rust that was there in the back and where the rust from the flare extended to much

It isn't perfect and I will have to redo the edges but it's a start, for someone who can't paint very well I am rather happy with the turn out. The hood and headlight covers are going to be in the near future with the bottom half of the car around the same time

Basically I threw flat black over the area after I sanded it and cleaned it and then the gloss on top. Problem is I grabbed two cans at canadian tire and I guess someone threw enamel paint in with the rust stuff and the gloss is enamel on 3 of the 4 flares and then rust on the front passenger.

Your car looks like Tokyoracer's old car more and more everytime I see it.. no wonder he still has your car's pic as his avatar.

e yeah thats where I got the idea to do it, amazing idea to fix the rust and not have to match the paint colour

Fuckin' Baller! I'll attend a TN meet now Just to see your car! Awww I'm inlove lol.

like I said, I need to get my hands on some red trim for the sides and then paint from just above them to the bottom back, along with the hood and headlight covers.

My taping job could use some work and I will need to fix it, but for someone who can't paint and has never taped to paint before, doing it on a curved piece went well for the tape I used

I really like it! Nice job! It really looks like an AW11!

the other difference between mine and tokyo's old car is he had red bumpers, where as I never plan to have fully red bumpers

And I had a blakc roof, and orange marker lights. oh yeha and tinted tails.

ftmfl!

[freakinbox]

didn't you also have a black hood? I was thinking of doing the roof if I can't touch up the rust around the antenna base easily.

I might do the hood tonight, or this weekend.

Come to LI and we'll sandblast that bitch and find a nice filler primer and then paint it up right

[freakinbox]

it might get painted eventually. In the market for another car to drive at the moment. Looking at an ae86 sr5. That'll give me something cheap to drive so I can pull the motor in the ae92 and redo it and make changes. Then do up the ae86 sr5 with a 4age and manual tranny.
