I feel like I'm asking stupid questions here, but I am in need of advice for making spot paint repairs on the 914.. If I could afford to have the whole car painted, I would, but this is where I'm at, to stop and fix rust bubbles and major paint cracks.
This is what I'm dealing with: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.7.jpg) My plan was to go down to aplace in San Diego that can make color matched paint (I have not idea what this yellow is) and have 3 or 4 aerosol cans of yellow made up, and attempt to feather and blend these areas in... Anyone have advice or things I should be careful of before I go about attempting this? Thanks, Ethan |

If you are going that dark, may as well go back to black! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
Besides, why are you listening to your girl friend? The car will be with you long after she is gone. Just saying......... |

Just saying......... We've been together for almost 5 years now.. She's not going anywhere...haha I'm really not a fan of black on a 914.. But I guess I never really thought about the kind of heat that burguny would absorb as well.. Time for another color re-hash I suppose..My problem is that I want the color to be somewhat unique.. no resale red, and signal orange is kind of becoming the quick resale color in the 911 world. I don't want it metallic, just because the car gets driven so much that the risk of having to fix paint chips at a later date with a single stage metallic paint makes me nervous.. Ossi Blue, glacier blue, albert blue, or gemini Blue (in non metallic form) I think I'm leaning towards the blues... |
