BluePopsicle Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Looks great Ken! How did you do the stitching? Skilled hand and an X-Acto knife?
Kennyboy Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Looks great Ken! How did you do the stitching? Skilled hand and an X-Acto knife? Yep X-acto! 1st thing that came to mind.... Well, painted the body a little bit ago........it is Kandy Apple Red (the light doesn't reflect that though in the pics.) I will be doing some sort of graphics on it with Sponsors and such afterall.....probably tomorrow (maybe later, gotta eat.)
Kennyboy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Beautiful color! Great color. Thanks guys! It is House of Kolor Goldmine Pearl, then HOK Kandy Apple Red, then a misting of HOK Pink pearl.......then three coats of Lacquer clear.

It is House of Kolor Goldmine Pearl, then HOK Kandy Apple Red, then a misting of HOK Pink pearl.......then three coats of Lacquer clear. What quantity of paint do you buy from HOK? I was thinking of buying from there but I don't really want to buy paint 1 pt. at a time. Edited December 6, 2013 by BluePopsicle

Kennyboy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 What quantity of paint do you buy from HOK? I was thinking of buying from there but I don't really want to buy paint 1 pt. at a time. I'm using up the HOK paint I was getting from my LHS. They had smaller bottles of it.....but I think they stopped getting it in that size so I will be looking too soon.
Kennyboy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Remember down at Les's and Randy was doing that thing with the ruler???????? Yeah, that just happened!!!!! That is looking nice!!! LOL at the ruler!!! Glad you like it! I think you were wanting it painted more than me there.... I DID need the push though!!!
Kennyboy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 The body and paint look great Ken. WOW! Those pics are amazing! Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.
Kennyboy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Beautiful paint and color Ken... Thanks Carl! Just trying to keep up with you!
DrKerry Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 LOL at the ruler!!! Glad you like it! I think you were wanting it painted more than me there.... I DID need the push though!!! Boing!!!!
HondaSan72 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Dayum... That paint job is simply breathtaking!!! I bet it looks even sexier in person. Fantastic job!!
Kennyboy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Dayum... That paint job is simply breathtaking!!! I bet it looks even sexier in person. Fantastic job!! Thanks Luis! It looks pretty good I'd say in person........but it is the base coat for this paint job so it will be just one of the colors on the body. I plan to do more, afterall it is a DRIFT car.
Kennyboy Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 As stated before.....the red was stage one, THIS is stage two. HOK Galaxy Gray Pearl with a Starlight Silver blend up from the bottom......the red was masked (BMF) with the shapes and then shot the gray and silver. Took these with the 30D Still getting used to it so they are not perfect!
DrKerry Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!! You are one wild man you are!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kennyboy Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!! You are one wild man you are!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey it is only plastic right? Sometimes the color is not necessarily THE color.....not the only color that is.
DrKerry Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 It's all plastic, I had a guy ask me tonight at the AMG meeting about my semi project. He said you may not of cut that up if you saw what they were going for on Ebay, I told him what you said, It's only plastic.......
Kennyboy Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 A couple more with the "other" camera and worse lighting......I need to use the 30D more!
DrKerry Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 I like the look of it. Looks kool with the head rest/spoiler on it...
Kennyboy Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 I like the look of it. Looks kool with the head rest/spoiler on it... Yeah think I am gonna ditch the top!
