Possible Cool Paint Effects - Vitara
Possible Cool Paint Effects - Vitara
Hey Guys,
I am curently doing some body work on my 89 Vitara JX, cos it's seen better days... and currently deciding just to touch up the areas or respray the whole thing...
Actually it doesn't look that bad in the photo But its worse in real life..
Just wondeing what cool paint jobs/effects have you seen on other 4wd's (not just suzuki's) that i could adapt for mine preferably with pic's
Cheers
Chris
P.s. I'm in New Zealand

If it goes offroad as what it looks like, keep it simple as it will get bashed and scratched.
If u want to redo the whole thing then go similar colour with maybe a pearl in it for effect. Black with red looks sweet
cheers

i would think, if it goes off road, to just respray the whole car, but use a basic, or common paint code, so you can buy pressure packs to touch up if ever you need to.
flames on a vitara?
two tone?
mettalic, 2 pak and pearl may be harder for touch ups and so on, but will look heaps better than just a flat colour.
i didnt want to clear coat over the top of mine, and i cant spray 2 pak at home, so i went for the enamel. put a bit more hardener in, and it sets and dries rock hard. you get faint scratches and so, but they come out, and its harder to chip etc. and it also came out glossy too. sorta.

Cheers for those....
My dad used to be a panel beater from a while back so he's got most of the tools still. He was suggesting i do big flames or two tone (or more) without hard/straight lines as then when (not if) you need to re-touch it the blending is easier as you don't have to do the whole panel, you can just do upto the line/area and no-one will know where the line used to goto anyway...
But he suggested find a picture of one i like and then use it as a template.. so that's what i'm trying to do here

I have painted mine with rattlecan Colorbond paint in a Rivergum green colour with a matt black bonnet with gloss black flames.
Then painted it rattlecan orange with gloss orange flames on the bonnet again.
Currently it is hammertone charcola with an orange GT stripe on the bonnet.
I get bored very easily.
I reckon that ghost flames look great if done well and subtley
