New Paint Job - LotusTalk

evansp60 · 08-15-2009, 06:14 PM

Had to repair some damage from track use so decided to rework the stripes/paint. Still have to put the bits of the car back together but wanted to share the new look.

looks good, i like it!

kaz · 08-15-2009, 06:25 PM

love the all black top

ruggedbert · 08-15-2009, 06:35 PM

Get Craftsquare or raceview mirrors to complete the look! Lookin sharp.

cobrabyte · 08-15-2009, 06:35 PM

Looks fantastic! Great vision.

...m... · 08-15-2009, 09:05 PM

...now that is an interesting paintjob...

Dragon · 08-15-2009, 09:36 PM

Looks great... Now change your wheels, paint the gas cap black and throw on some craftsquare mirrors and it'll be sick...

(I'm not a fan of chrome or polished parts on the exterior of cars)

^^^What he said.

The rims jumped right out at me when I scrolled to the second picture. The black accents do look great.

I agree, those mirrors would make the car look sweet.

Fantastic

evansp60 · 08-16-2009, 09:45 PM

Thanks for the compliments.
I prefer to lose the shiny bits as well although I'm not a fan of all
black rims as I find they get lost in the tire and you get a big black hole.
We sprayed the rims with a flat clear coat to dull the shine a bit.

Will look into the mirrors. We had discussed painting the outer housing black
but didn't quite get there.

Just got a GUT wing painted up. I'll post an update once I get it on.

zcoupe · 08-16-2009, 10:27 PM

looks good. I would like to see that in flat black.

Dragon · 08-17-2009, 01:52 AM

I'm thinking that a bronze wheel might look pretty sweet on there if your not in to the black..

Black wheels on the car look good in person, but it really sucks for pic's... You could do black with a yellow pin stripe on the edge of the rim like I did on my black work emotion CR-Kai race wheels...
