My e30 track car.
Had it for about two months now, car was raced a season in Spec e30 in the South East. I am hoping to race it next year.
Here's what it looked like when Vbspec and I picked it up:
I started to take the the stickers off the car and most of the paint came with it. The former owner sprayed it in his garage and it looked pretty nasty. I wasn't concerned until most of it came off the car. So, I started looking for a cheap way to paint it. I found a color I really liked and it was in a can of Krylon.
So I consulted Flimy Flam and got to work:
15 cans of paint later:
Painted all the trim and bumper strips with Satin Black, car color is Satin Italian Olive. Came out pretty good for what it is and looks a lot better than it did. I even wet sanded it a little to smooth it out. It's not perfect but, good enough for a race car and way under my $100 budget.
