And here's my car as it sits right now


Just to be clear, what was the worst decision -- painting it yourself or changing the color? (Sounds like you are referring to the former?)knunger wrote:The decision to repaint the bronzit car was easy: I've always wanted to paint a car myself. Since about 2008 (or whenever it was that I saw Chris K's zinno e28) I've wanted a zinnoberot e28. I know changing colors is a no-no, and I knew I wasn't going to strip it bare and do it properly, but I thought fuck it, it's my car, and I plan on driving it until either it or I kick.
WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!
It took me over a year. I started a log to keep track of my hours. After it hit 200 hours, and the car was barely primed, I threw the log away. I did take pics, and will do an Eye-Candy thread soon. If the only result of the forthcoming thread is to convince some other poor ignorant dumbass to NOT paint his own car, it will be worth the effort.
Wow! Good call CEK! You obviously have familiarity with Tucson/University of AZ. and our consuming hatred of all things Penix/ASU.cek wrote:Bear down, Arizona!

Oh, by all means, the bad decision was to paint it myself. I love the color. When I open the trunk or hood, and see that crappy bronzitbeige, I love it even more...Drew in NYC wrote:

Car looks great, by the way.
Thanks! I am indeed from Upstate NY, but was visiting a friend in South Jersey, hence the Cape May pictures. Good catch!waynet1 wrote:OK, your location says Horseheads NY, your plate is NY, however..............That sure looks like Cape May NJ Lighthouse to me.

I've never been a fan of the whole intake light thing but with those wheels and that color and the silver (maybe led?) ring around that highbeam, the whole car looks incredible. I love itBigdoug92 wrote:
