The good shots

FallenAngel · 04-19-07, 10:33 PM

Been a while since a wash, but was hosed down a few days ago. Pics were taken yesterday.

The ouch pic

GreekPower · 04-19-07, 10:38 PM

uh wow lime green.... fast and furious?

FallenAngel · 04-19-07, 10:40 PM

Might've been. Got it from my bro painted. All I can say is, the people who painted it won't be doing the repaint for me since they ripped the nozzle line.

dipped in radioactive kryptonite???

i would just sandblast and primer it ASAP man.

sorry man. its just ugly.

FallenAngel · 04-19-07, 10:50 PM

Took some getting used to, but I've gotten attached to it. It helps plenty that its a Legend. Tried to show the color change effect with that shot of the hood, works better in person.
I'm also eyeing a coupe for a new daily driver and using this as a long-term project car.

Well the paint has a nice luster to it. I can tell you did a good job cleaning... but something needs to be done. You either need to ditch that paint or find rims that work with that color and possibly a tint.

L3GDKANG/JDM-KANG · 04-19-07, 10:52 PM

well i have to say i like it as i love green!

FallenAngel · 04-19-07, 10:59 PM

Oy, thats a lot of paint. Was it cheaper the second time around? You think about a visor for the sedan?
It actually has a very, very light gold/copper tint on the rear.

Possibly these in the future

The green is hot it's the stock look that kills it. You need wheels, a drop, JDM lights (blacked-out), eyebrows, tints, color matched grill (the chrome looks horrible with that paint), Type 2 bumper, shaved trunk, aftermarket lip (Mugen or Type R) and you would be killin' it.

It sounds like a lot but that Leg has a lot of potential.

Lime sherbert... personally... I don't like it. Not for a legend, that's for sure. Not too much of the original style is left of it.

s55lear · 04-20-07, 01:18 AM

The highlighter look is not for the legend, I must agree. However, it is your car not mine. But I must say it is a legend so its never too bad!

drewLegend · 04-20-07, 01:20 AM

That looks absolutely disgusting.

Congrats
